Description

Another old NATG entry redrawn, this makes 2/15 now (not even mentioning NATG5/6 stuff)... yeah, barely a decent rate (:

At least it feels like I figured some reasons why it takes so long, let's see if I manage to improve a bit (no overly optimistic ETA's though, only that next two pics are going to be requests taken long ago).

also edit: Fixed couple of borked layers, not like her bit messy tip of the tail got much better, but still.
more edit: kind of lame description, no reuploads (though I noticed some things I forgot, they're here to stay, ha).

Okay, this is great, this is really clever.  Because it means two things at once.

One is, it's Trixie from the show.  Because that's obviously Trixie and she's pulling her usual cart and the houses have thatched roofs like they do in Ponyville.

But the other is: that's Trixie as Gandalf from The Hobbit.  Because she's got the hat and she's got the fireworks and the houses have a distinctly hobbitish feel to them (right down to the round windows).  But what seals the deal is the Hildebrandt Brothers look-and-feel of the piece, from the color palette to the use of light and shadow to the...I don't know, vaguely statue-like sense of anatomy and mass, I guess you'd call it.

See, this is what "parody" really means: not just going nyeah-nyeah at a piece or an artist but finding out what makes them tick and then creating anew in that same mode.
