Because Equestria Girls was awesome, even if the plot was a bit meh.

He's still a cutie

Yesterday whilst browsing the awesome side of YouTube consisting primarily of Brony songs, covers, and remixes, the idea of Twilight sleeping on space clouds spawned in my mind.

Thus, I seized the opportunity to play with Photoshop again and experiment with some lighting.

I like this, but I feel like I could do more without making it overly cluttered. She was supposed to have a stream of magic coming out of her horn, but that was a little too much

Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!

Oh look, another OC 
 
I drew one of many ponies I adopted from Yumi-Kitten
I named him Halo. He is Angel Blaze's cousin
 
He is so much fun to draw
 
Basic Bio
Age: 24
Personality: Sarcastic, semi-flamboyant, rebellious, charming. He's a strong flyer but not very fast. Halo is a member of the Cloudsdale division of the Royal Guard, but he isn't exactly the most serious of ponies.  He decides for himself if something is worth his time. Halo also has a habit of being a bit careless with his role as a guard, considering he didn't even want to be one in the first place.  He would much rather be working at the weather factory crafting the sunbeams that spill through the clouds after a rainstorm.  But he did learn one thing during his 'career' as a guard: To value the lives of others before your own.  And he honors that rule, often putting himself in dangerous situations to protect either his fellow guards, his fillyfriend Alley Rose, or his cousins Angel Blaze and Corona. 

Cutie Mark: A purple shield with a sun and wings.  It represents his quick desire to protect others, and that the sun will not set on that part of him.  He earned it when he ran away from home to take care of his cousins.

Backstory: Halo grew up in Cloudsdale, the son of a pair of cops.  He wasn't exactly what his parents expected, as he started displaying his sarcastic and witty nature at an early age. He is the oldest of the cousins, acting as a big brother figure to Angel Blaze and Corona.
In an effort to 'smarten him up,' Halo's father enlisted him in the Royal Guard against Halo's will.  As much as he hates the strict rules and routines, Halo begrudgingly carries out his duties but vows to never forget how his parent just couldn't accept that he was nothing like them.
He lives in Cloudsdale in his own apartment with his fillyfriend Alley Rose, and his cousins Corona and Angel Blaze.

I adopted this handsome fellow from some time ago and I finally got around to drawing him c:
His ref is pretty simple for now, I'm probably going to update it later on
 
I'll draw him in his gladiator armor soon
 
Basic info

Name: Thunder Sword

Occupation: Gladiator
Breed: Percheron

Species: Pegasus
Personality:  Thunder Sword is a powerful and dangerous pegasus.  He is not only physically strong, but he's huge.  He stands taller than the prince of the nearby Crystal Empire, Shining Armor.

As if his size alone wasn't intimidating enough, Thunder Sword is also straight-forward, harsh, and to some, cruel.
He keeps a tough facade, and his emotional walls are built up so high that few ponies are allowed see his well-hidden 'softer' side.

He lives by a strict warrior code: Shed not a tear when oneself is harmed. Save them for your brothers that fall to the blade or the arrow. Save them for your love, for your mate, and for your comrades.
In the arena, Thunder Sword is a calculated and ruthless fighter.   He's never lost, and has slain more opponents in the arena than apples bucked from a tree.  His weapons of choice are his iron sword and his unusual ability to channel and manipulate lighting.
 
His second-in-command and mate, Gloaming Grace, has been his best friend since they were foals.  
 
His pet peeves include bratty children and disregard for the rules.  He has personally (and repeatedly) told parents to control their misbehaving foals or get kicked out of the stadium.  They frequently get kicked out, and several times Thunder Sword has forced the misbehaving foal to participate in his harsh and exhausting training program before being sent home when he feels they've learned their lesson.
 
 
Backstory:
Thunder Sword was born in Northern Equestria, to a pair of poor farmers living in the Crystal Mountains near Roam.  The night he was born was violent and stormy, and his superstitious father took it as an omen that his son was meant for glory.
And indeed he was. Thunder Sword witnessed his first battle at the age of 8, when his parents took him to the Roam's annual jousting tournament.  Bored by the repetitive events, Thunder Sword wandered around the fair until he happened upon the Diamond Colosseum.  He flew overhead and watched as a pair of gladiators fought for glory, and instantly Thunder Sword knew that's what he wanted to be.
Thunder Sword trained endlessly, teaching himself how to sword fight both in the air and on the ground.  At 18, he managed to sneak into gladiator event and fight.  He realized too late that he'd never fought against a living opponent before and was almost beaten.
However as he was about to surrender and be slain, a dark storm cloud blocked out the sun. A lightning bolt struck Thunder Sword, and the battered pegasus stood, electric arcs sparking around him and radiating from his body.  He leaped into the air and slammed his hooves into the earth, sending a wall of lightning at his opponent.
Thunder Sword was declared one of the greatest Gladiators Roam had ever seen.
As each coming year passed, Thunder Sword trained and fought harder.  He learned more about manipulating lightning and quickly became a 'Channeler,' a non-unicorn pony with the ability to manipulate a certain element around them.
Thunder Sword came clean with his adventure to his parents, but they knew that he has no place on their meager farm and was meant for much more.
Thunder Sword now helps train aspiring Gladiators and warriors in his specially designed training program. He chooses randomly, and not once has he failed to make a true warrior of his students.

setting: It's the night before Twilight's coronation ceremony, and she and the others are staying in Canterlot to get ready for the next day's festivities.  Cadence and Twilight's friends are rallying the other ponies to make the ceremony very special for Twilight, and no doubt Shining Armor is proud of her. But since he's her brother and he knows how she freaks out if things don't go to plan he can't help but worry.

[shows Shining Armor in Celestia's throne room near the door, watching Twilight talking and laughing with her friends from afar.

His expression is somewhat forlorn and deep in thought. He turns and walks out of the castle onto the streets and begins to sing]

Don't taint this ground with the color of the past
Are the sounds in bloom with you?

-Shining Armor remembering their one and only fight and her anxiety, and him asking her from afar to try and hold it together -

[shows the street in BBBFF when Twilight bumps into him, the image of that song silhouetted on the buildings behind him instead of his own shadow]

'Cause you seem like an orchard of mines
Just take one step at a time

-Him expressing his knowledge that anything could set her off and encouraging her to enter the role of Princess slowly, one step at a time-

[-instrumental break- He walks through the streets, looking at the other ponies setting up for the ceremony. He walks past and glances toward a choir of Crystal Ponies practicing]

And you seem to break like time
So fragile on the inside, you climb these grapevines
Would you look now unto the pit of me on the ground
And you wander through these to climb these grapevines...

--Shining Armor singing about her experience in the elite Unicorn school she was enrolled in when she was little, how she was almost broken when she (at first) failed to hatch Spike's egg and her brief lack of control of her magic.  He also is expressing his fear that since she's a princess now she may not need him anymore-

[shows him walking past the outside of the school, looks up at the tower where she had her entrance exam and smiles a bit. He's remembering how proud of her he was when she told him]

I'll say it to be proud; won't have my life turn upside down
Says the man with some, with some gold forged plan
Of life so incomplete, like weights strapped around my feet
Tread careful one step at a time

-He's singing about his wedding, about how even though they were on better terms than that day he still feels guilty for not believing Twilight and listening to her warnings, and how he owes her more than just his life.-

[shows him walking back into the now-empty throne room, looking at the stained glass window installed from that day]

To know, to feel, to play me once again
Do you denote from what we feel
Do you not know, I see you play the game
Do you denote...

-now it's about Twilight when she was corrupted by Discord and her hope for saving Ponyville was almost crushed, but in the end she managed to save her friends with her determination-

[shows him looking at the other stained-glass windows, all of Twilight's accomplishments with her friends and rise to position as Princess]

-now it's about Twilight when she was corrupted by Discord and her hope for saving Ponyville was almost crushed, but in the end she managed to save her friends with her determination-

To know, to feel, to play me once again
Do you denote from what we feel
Do you not know, I see you play the game
Do you denote...
 

[Choir, Crystal ponies continuing their practice]
[shows Shining Armor nearby singing his heart out, images of his fears for Twilight playing around him]

-Shining Armor remembering Twilight's battle with Discord and her 'game' in the maze and ultimately defeating him, and he knows that her cunning and wit saved Equestria, but what if she uses it for the wrong reasons? Will she listen if he tries to stop her from doing so?-

[instrumental, he walks back to the entrance of the throne room to be greeted by an excited Twilight, and he smiles at her somewhat reassured but his worry is still evident on his face]

I want to make this AMV a thing, but if it's gonna look the way I have it in my head I need a tablet, which I do not have

Mane 6 Pony: Applejack, because she lives off the land and would be able to determine what to do

Background Pony: Hmm... Probably Dr. Whooves, to keep us amused with his attempts to build a means of getting us off the island.

Forum Member: @Nuclear Neur☢tic because she's my best friend

Celebrity: Liam Neeson. No particular reason, just because I think he's awesome.

I have acrophobia. I am terrified of heights, and that's one big reason why I don't like going on rollercoasters or on higher floors of hotels or anything like that.

I like PewdiePie and Tobuscus. They're both really funny and their endless shenanigans when playing never ceases to make me laugh.

I'd rather have a rewind button so I'd have the chance too meet some of my ancestors like my great-great grandparents on my dad's side or President Thomas Jefferson. Through my grandmother's side I am a direct blood descendant.  Or jump forward to see what I'd be in the future and if I don't like what I see I can have the option of changing for the better.

My song is about doing your best and doing what is right, and how if you wait too long you may lose your chance at something. It's pointless to cower in a corner and let your fear get the best of you.

So... hello everypony

M'name's Raspberry Frost

I like rp'ing and drawing and music.

If you ever feel like popping by and saying hello feel free I don't bite

Soooo.... I hope to get to know some of you and I look forward to my time on the site

If you're available, I'd love to have a sig from you

I drew my OC myself and plan to upload more to my DA, and I have plenty of PSD and transparent files for you to use if need be

But only if you have the time of course, I don't want to be a burden
