On this day, October 25, in 2010, I made my first (finished) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fanart and OCs. I missed the premier, but thanks to an artist I use to talk to, :iconTechnicolor_Pie, linked me to the Youtube post, I was dragged into something that would soon be bigger than any of us would have guessed.

Now, as the final season ends, and the fandom continues, I wanted to revisit my first piece in honor of the 9 years it has given me to be inspired, make friends, and become more confident as an artist and writer.

Starshadow was originally to be a follower of Nightmare Moon, but after seeing the second episode, I made him into Princess Celestia's first attempt at bring back the balance. An orphan, who showed as much love and promise as Princess Luna. He would soon suffer the same loneliness and slip into the madness of influence of darker forces.

Redmare would undergo many changes through the years, as Starshadows was left as a footnote in my stories, and this version is her most recent version, based on the one who would play a role in my story Shatter Storm.

Spotty Tale did not change much, he too was kinda left behind in my stories, as I focused more on Harmony Spirit.
