Sunset's Fall

[Wispy Breeze 10]

I've been a big fan of Sunset Shimmer since back when her toy was first revealed, and her turning out to be the villain resulted in her being a big "Draco in Leather Pants" for me (TvTropes - basically a villain who "Can't be thaaat bad" because the fan loves them). As a result of trying to explore why she might be after Twilight and the crown, I concocted a possible backstory for her in the lead-up to Equestria Girls being released, and, the fact that it's not canon being no obstacle, I've been illustrating said backstory in ten parts.

 

The first part was released today. You can find it below or on my dA account: http://fox-moonglow.deviantart.com/art/Sunset-s-Fall-1-The-Faithful-Student-382137378 (anyone know how to shorten that?)

 

As more get finished, I'll be posting them here, as well.

wow, i've been waiting for something like this. i wanted to write something myself but i already have 3 fanfics going at the moment so if i tried that everything would get one big sloppy mess of boring stories.

thanks for this!

Finally! Much like Repsol I was also wanting to see a drawing like this, nice job on it. What software did you use? Just wondering...

I use Photoshop for any painting. Would really love to check out ArtRage or Painter, but will stick to what I have for now .

 

Glad people are interested in seeing where this goes

And here's round two. Sunset's all grown up now.

She's at the top of her world; nowhere to go now but down.

 

Why yes, I do love tragic backstories. Why do you ask ^^?
