Do you ever picture something in your head that you think will look epic, then it turns out to be awful when you actually draw it out? Yeah, this is one of those.
It's meant to be princess Celestia falling from the sky. I don't know, but I was inspired by the song "Icarus" by Bastille and the legend of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and burnt his wings. That's not really what's happening here, but the colours that are flowing from her could be smoke from her burning wings? (the words aren't a line from the song by the way, I just thought they would look cool and fill the gap a bit)
What I imagine is that when an Alicorn decides they have had enough and want to pass on their leadership to somepony else, they can't just give it over. Tradition dictates that a ruler must die before the monarch can change. It becomes a huge spectacle, usually around every 5000 years or so. The reign of Celestia is over, and the power will pass on to somepony else.
(anyway, sorry if that story's too dark for MLP, that's just how my brain thinks
)
I'd ask for critiques but I realise what's bad about it already, I just don't know how to fix it, oops!
I'm still posting it anyway because I spent a while on it, you know?
okay scrap that, I do really need critiques at this point! Someone tell me what's wrong with it maybe?
