Description
Another piece of the unnamed series, related stuff:Earth and Thunder
An old stuff
I can't believe that umbrella has taken me far much time then I can imagine! and also gummy!
The title is suggested by Here-for-the-ponies, thanks and thanks for anyone who helped me to think of a better title. I'm not good at wording and sometimes giving the title is one of the most painful part in submission(sometimes, I really want to name all my works as "New Submission"
)And I'd like to ask for some help. As you see, there should be one more picture for this series, which is fluttershy vs. rarity, but I'm simply out of idea. I can't imagine how they would battle. They're too peaceful with each other...mmm...sort of, so, if you have any idea, just tell and we can do some brainstorming together.

Wow! This is amazing! So Twilight used that aging spell to transform Spike into an Elder Dragon ready to be used in battle, huh? :D And I definitely love those magic circles too ^^
But what I love the most in this is Pinkie ('cause she has totally become my favorite pony), her just being her usual self even in the middle of a battle in this, feels just so nice, it's such a perfect tribute to her. Wonderful work <3 Oh and yeah I'm sure she would be the Jester class/job too ^^

Hahahh! This is so awesome!!! Fantastic scene!!! Love it!!! 
Nice Pinkie pose you made there! She looks so cool doing all those randomnesses she always does... 
Twilight and Spike look really badass, too!

I can see why the umbrella took so long, the lighting on that must've been very tricky to pull off without looking a bit off.
It looks amazing

(also BIG LIKE for that grown spike :3 )

I like all three entries in this series, but this is my favorite. It took me a minute to notice the sun emblems in Twilight's magic.

Sometimes randomness is good. Especially for the purpose of tripping up analytic thinkers.

Great idea and wonderful execution! I really like that!

All the random details are so fun and entertaining! If it were a video game I can totally imagine Twilight demonstrating her carefully practiced combo moves while Pinkie just button mashes XD
As for the Fluttershy vs. Rarity, kind of what aTOM2004 said. Screw peacefulness! Just have them really pissed at each other, Fluttershy with her animals (Angel close by her side of course) and Rarity with her deadly dresses and gems. Gems can make for a sparkly fight you know, it's the hight of fashion!

Love it! so much actions and dynamic in the painting!

This is so epic I don't even have the words to properly describe it. Especially Twilight looks simply badass.
As for the Shy vs. Rarity fight... Flutters flying, Angel on her back, surrounded by a hord of eagles, hawks etc., Rarity shooting gems at them while "riding" a giant crystal, Sombra style. Forget about the "peaceful" part, a fight is a fight! Then the title could go "Wings and Gems".
I didn't read the comments below, so sorry if I accidentally repeated somebody's else idea!

I just can't get over how much I enjoy looking at this. Especially epic adult Spike, although every time I look at Pinkie, I just laugh even more.
For Fluttershy and Rairity... Softness and hardness? Fur against gems? Or maybe yielding against penetrating, Fluttershy always giving way, surrounding Rarity's proud charge before she notices she's enveloped in epic hugs of fluffy bunnies. Of course, the title of that sounds dirty...

Umbrellas are very tricky. and yours looks fantastic! The rest of this work is wonderful too, Spike looks very cool!

Entropy? Woah! science!
Order is a pretty good word, I wonder why I forgot such a simple word

I'd say "Chaos", but I'm betting more people would think Discord than Pinkie Pie.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do think that's the problem, so I didn't choose "chaos" though it suits quite a lot
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Again, extremely epic and amazingly well done. I love all the detail in here...
First of all, Pinkie is the center of attention, definitely where she is supposed to be. She is one of the brightest things in the scene, and provides a nice diagonal of her pink body and the purple of Twilight's magic. She is surrounded by various green objects, which really emphasize her - the green dragon fire, the tennis ball, the cupcake, and gummy. The sheer randomness of the objects strongly suits Pinkie Pie. Speaking of the dragon fire, there is excellently done green lighting on the many objects from the dragon fire - especially impressive are the green highlights on Pinkie.
Next, Twilight is absolutely awesome here - her wings of magic are glorious to behold, as are the magic runes in the air. Her clothing is intricate, and the tail stretching out behind her give a sense of movement. You also did a good job with spike, whose great presence fills more than half the picture.
But my favorite things, by far, are the expressions of Pinkie and Gummy. Just look at the joy in Pinkie's face - such a contrast to Twilight's concentration and frustration (The book said that nothing blocked dragon fire!). And then you have the perfect rendition of Gummy's lack of expression. You just have to wonder what is going through his mind as he patiently clings onto the cotton candy mane in front of him as dragon fire shoots past.
Thank you for another awesome picture for the favorites folder!
As for the next picture, sorry, but I can't imagine how Fluttershy will be able to fight anything. Rarity could be using magic... or some property of a special dress or costume... You may just have to do a picture of Fluttershy flying out of reach of an enraged Rarity... Yeah, my ideas aren't so good. I'm sure you will make whatever you do epic, though!

Woah! You have observed more than I could think of
And that gummy icon...mmm..

Fluttershy and Rarity could be Nature and Civilization or Natural and Cultured, or even just Plants and Gems.
And similar to how Pinkie and Twilight don't seem to be out for blood but sparing on an extreme level, Fluttershy and Rarity could be having a lady like and elegant duel. Or maybe a competition that went out of hoof, the two trying to revive an old castle garden and Rarity got over 'inspired' with her gems and designs (crowding out the plants and animals) and Fluttershy is trying to reign her back in. Or maybe a show down of grace and style between the two.

Nature and Civilization...mmm...that would be a good contrast, this may help me with the naming for the next picture
reviving an old castle garden or a show down of grace and style...interesting
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much. I'm glad that I could help you with that.
As for the old castle garden, I sort of imagined something like Fluttershy and her animals all around planting trees and arranging flower pots when Rarity gets one of her 'Ideas!' and lost in her own self inspiration is uprooting a lot of the plant life to happily put in fountains, fancy cloth roofed gazebos, and gem covered statues with Fluttershy panicking and flying towards her to try to break her out of it while her animals try to save what they've already done.
As for the show down of grace and style, Rarity has shown some martial arts, or something like it when she defended Spike when he went on the dragon migration (or she got into what looked like some sort of stance) so maybe she could have a sort of exotic eastern silk flair to her magic as she faces off against Fluttershy's simple French country side beauty.
Sorry, I get carried away some times.

It's not a problem to let your thought liberated. That's what the brainstorming is for.

I'd follow Pinkie's lead and take my hat off to this awesome work.

Can't wait to see Fluttershy vs Rarity, my two favorite ponies fighting

I would have gone with "Discipline and Cacophony," but the piece itself is gorgeous.

Pinkie Pie blocking dragonbreath with an umbrella is so Pinkie XD

Maybe Order and Chaos?
As for Fluttershy and Rarity, perhaps they could duke it out with words, but that's difficult to make interesting... Maybe Fluttershy could use the Stare, and Rarity use cloth to wrap up and trip the opponent; fighting to force into submission, not destroy. Or maybe Rarity tries to create a crystal prison. There's also Fluttershy's animals, but I don't think she would call them to fight unless she was really pushed over the edge. She is also a friend of Discord.
As for this drawing, it looks fantastic!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks
The stare? I'm not sure whether it'd work for ponies
Actually, My thinking that fluttershy would avoid fighting as much as possible is the main problem for the next picture.
And... Wow...Discord? if he is involved, rarity won't stand a chance
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome
That's true...
I'm sure you'll come up with something amazing that will blow us all away.
Haha, nope.

How about Stoic and Silly, or Serious and Silly? Or Strategy and Randomness?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Stoic, I think it's a great word describing Twilight, though it's a bit weird to put together with "silly", serious would make a better comparison, but I think "strategy" is even better! Yes, I would use that, thanks for the suggestion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
might have some ideas on Rarity's abilities based on the design in 'An old stuff'
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
well the obvious in my opinion would be fluttershy either riding a giant fierce creature that she has befriended or having a swarm of viscous little creatures that overcome her enemies and rarity having a bunch of crystals that she uses as projectiles with her magic and having the Diamond Dogs as personal bodyguards or being able to toss around Tom the rock like a flail.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A giant fierce creature? I can pretty imagine how it would look like
And Tom...?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
tom is a giant boulder that rarity coveted in the begging of season 2 after discord changed her, she thought it was a giant diamond and became violent whenever any of her friends got near it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... I know that, I just laughed because it's an interesting idea I can't think of by myself
