Description
And it's finally done. May be the longest digital piece I've worked on so far.To be honest, at first I though, "Oh this guy is awesome! He's one of those fun-loving villains". But that was cancelled out by the fact that he's a complete asshole. Still, pouring a glass of milk, drinking the glass while the milk stays in the shape of the glass, and then throwing the milk backwards to have it explode in the distance IS pretty cool!
I tried to go with something a little different for this. Most of the art I see of Discord either makes him look completely goofy or completely evil. So, I tried the middle ground and made him look about as evil as goofy. Turned out well, I think. Some parts didn't turn out like I wanted, others turned out much better than expected. Ah well, it's done and that's what matters

This how I see Discord. He is a truly magnificent villain, not doing what he does because of revenge or thirst of power... but because he loves doing it. That as per his name he loves causing discord as well as spreading conflict, feelings of doubt, uncertainty, anger, and breaking that which binds others together. And his does all this because he considers it fun. His power currently seems near limitless, and with his intelligence and experience combining to make him the perfect manipulator, deceiving those around him by his deceptively silly personality and actions. Being unfeeling to the suffering be brings to others and he plays his little 'games' for his own amusement. It is by his actions that one sees just how dangerous and effective of a villain he is.
Honestly I could understand perfectly why Celestia and Luna tried stopping him. Yet Discord is cunning, even though the sisters had the power to defend them and it seems Celestia is immune to his games and tricks... something tells me Luna would not have been though. I bet that it was because of the words and tricks of Discord that lead to Luna becoming Nightmare Moon. As Discord would know that he would be able to break through eventually if he could break the bond between Celestia and Luna, that but placing seeds of doubt and uncertainty in Luna she would turn away from her loving sister and do what was needed to become more powerful then Celestia... yet not understand that she would lose herself by doing so.
This then takes us to the present time. What did Discord do as soon as he broke out of his stone prison and before he started having his 'fun'? He stole the only thing that could defeat him, and then forced the wielders to play by his game and by his rules. He then makes it so the group can't win his game by picking them off one by one, by playing upon their weaknesses and turns their strengths on their heads. Effectively destroying what they are, and threatening to tear apart their friendship.

Yeah, I admit that does make sense. He's just having fun in his own discordant way. Regardless, I really liked him as a villain and hope he shows up again eventually.
