Description
This is a scene from Essence of a Sunrise: That wich is Left Behind
The fanfiction is written by:maxxxxxxAlso known as waytoomuchcaffeine here on dA
Oh...Deviant Mention let's see how long it takes maxxxxxx to see it
I tried a lot of new things in this one. First try in shading in Inkscape and also first try to shade the Hair in PaintTool Sai. I'm just a bit annoyed that I can't shade the Hair in Inkscape, or maybe I'm just trying it wrong.
Fact: this picture is not a TwiDash...
but it can totally be TwiDash if you want
If you plan on reading the fanfiction you should stop reading now because here are coming some Spoilers
but you can read it if you want and don't mide one or two Spoilers
In this Picture Are Twilight and Sunrise (Dash's new name after loosing all her memories). while drawing this pic I realized how hard it is to see Sunrise, I always thought something like "Oh something is wrong with Rainbows outline" waiting a second or two and then realizing that this isn't Rainbow, it's Sunrise
I made this drawing because I just loved the scene and I still can't get it out of my head.

“Twilight, I heard what you and your friends were talking about. I know about the memory spell. Twilight.” She was right beside her now, so close, Twilight could hear her breath. Twilight's body trembled. Why do I feel so scared? This... it's the right thing. She lifted her head, her eyes dull and tired. As soon as she sat up, Sunrise wrapped her hooves around Twilight, resting her forehead on hers. Twilight's horn was right against her mane. Do it. Do it. Come on, it's so easy, shes, shes right in front of me. Do it! Her horn flickered with purple light, making their shadows dance.
“Twilight... I don't want to die.” Twilight's magic faded and her heart skipped a beat.
“Twilight, I came to you. I trusted you. I still do. I put my fragile life in your hooves because I trust you. I know you miss your friend, and I'm sorry you have to see her every time you look at me. But Twilight, I like living. I like being around you and spike. I like reading and eating and laughing. I like talking to you. Please Twilight..” Sunrise shut her eyes, and put her forehead against Twilight's horn. “Please Twilight, don't take that away from me.”
You must ask me first if you want to use this artwork or a part of it.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactI'd like to start off by saying that this does capture the mood of the scene. It's as I would've pictured it, but a bit of background would've been nice. The attention to detail in regards to the reflection of the candle in Twi's eye is a nice touch. However, I think their manes look a little out of place. They do indeed look realistic, but they are the only thing looking realistic in the picture. The illumination of them from the candle looks a little off. I think that maybe you should've used a brighter shade of the mane color rather than a yellowish color to create the effect. I think you should've added more to both Rainbow and Twi's expression. This is meant to be a sad scene, but it doesn't spark any emotions like the fanfiction did. Twilight doesn't look as sad as she looks concerned and just simply exhausted. For Rainbow Dash, her hoof wrapped around Twilight and maybe her ear pointing down would help express the emotion. I like that you added a magenta glow to Dash and Twi's head from her horn, but I think you went a little overboard in having it shine on her crest.
All in all, this is captures the mood of the scene, but I think you could've done more.
