I've been wanting to draw a fighting game styled picture of the background pony Octavia, from My Little Pony - Frienship is Magic for quite a while now, and finally got to it.
Obviously she's always portrayed as stiff and sophisticated type of character, so I decided to play around a bit, and show her in a different light. She looks kinda crazed out mad. That cello serves as quite brutal melee weapon.
Obviously this was partially inspired by Octavia's "battle theme" called "No strings Attached" by Jeffthestrider. Check the YouTube link(s) if interested. Personally I prefer Makkon's version, but both of them are great.
