This piece is so gorgeous, Brian has done me a great honor by spending so much time on a gift- his art is way above request caliber; for this type of quality work an artist should be payed- its their livelihood!

Its a great honor to see how much time you spent on this Brian, it means a lot to me. I know how much effort and time you put into your work, and this is just simply *amazing*. Thank you

Amazing! XD I just cant stop squeeing!

I'm going to blow this up- make a patch out of it, and attach it to my bags xD

hehe- i LOVE it xD

Many years ago, a close friend of mine was struck by a car when she was leaving the supermarket, and hospitalized in critical condition. We were young, and had been fighting over a crush- I wasn't honestly interested outside of being friends with said crush, but was jealous that I was becoming a third wheel. When I'd heard the news that she'd been in an accident, I didn't know how serious it was, and blurted out something in spite about her "just dying". It was a terrible thing to say, and I've always regretted it since the moment it came out of my mouth. I'm still shocked that I ever said it, and terribly disappointed every time I remember it came from me. She passed away the next morning, and I've never been able to shake the feeling that her passing was because of my heartlessness.

I understand what it feels like to face that feeling of responsibility, that somehow you could have done something different to stop it from happening; but the truth is, you simply cant know what will make a difference, and what choices to make- and because of that you will never be responsible for what happened entirely out of your control.

I miss my friend dearly- my heart goes out to you in your time of grieving, I can only imagine you feel the way I did, and its heartbreaking. However, even after she left my life, she continued to influence me, and still does. What I said was mortifying and horrifying to me; and because of that it taught me the value of a wiser, more cautious temperament. To value the things I have, even when angry or upset, or in pain; it taught me about appreciation and compassion.

In this way, I feel like even though her life ended, there was a place in me that she continued to live on, and I grew into a much better, and wiser person, for having her and the lessons the experience taught me, in my heart.

My heart goes out to you during such a difficult time; but even in loss, there is room for new growth. I hope your memories and experiences of your friend grow and fill that space in your heart with something beautiful- and that they remain a part of your life as a strength; or as you put it "a guardian angel".

I might be behind in whats going on, but is there any chance you'll be making stickers or prints out of this and the celestia shine? :3

I like the deeper internal conflict motives too; the ones i've seen around the net with discord just seem so rich with potential story- this one feels the same way
