Description

EDIT: Holy crap! It made EQD, and on the front page! 0_o

There it is... A full line up of the warriors of Harmony and Chaos. I rushed a bit towards the end because I wanted to submit this before the new episode.

The villains took a lot less time compared to the heroes because I already had a pretty clear idea for their design. The heroes took longer because I had to redesign their outfits since I am not blessed with Rarity's sense of fashion. LOL

I did use some images created by other artist in this picture as a base. (Cut me slack, this is my first pony drawing)

Yeah, I can't do flying ponies...

I probably will make some improvements later in the future. I think I made the villians a little too awesome. XD

To me, I could totally see Spike turning evil and turning to the dark side. He does not live a great life even if he is close to royalty. He always gets the short end of the stick by his friends and is push to the side as irrelevant to any adventure and event. I imagine him going into a deep dark depression and feeling confusion and anger brewing in him. He is always in the shadow of Twilight just like Luna was shadowed Celestia in every she tried and never is got credit or respected highly for the things she does. Plus Spike was the closest friend to Twilight Sparkle before they left Canterlot and now she don't even acknowledge him as she did in the past. There has to be conflict internally inside Spike to the point where he would damage himself or others around him. He is the servant to the Elements of Harmony, he knows almost everything about there personality from working under each of them. Which with such knowledge is powerful and even dangerous of how close he is to them already. If so there has to be an evil force lingering somewhere to corrupt his mind pull him to their side, just his memories alone will be easy enough to manipulate him to join them.
