First, some context. The Dark Steel series is a spin off from The Quicksilver Chronicles. The private investigator Dark Steel is first mentioned in chapter 3 of One Of Us where he helps Quicksilver and Misty find a lost friend.

In the story One of Us I introduce a private detective, Dark Steel, that Quicksilver and Misty hire to help them find Tinker Cob. He was a fun character, but didn't get nearly enough screen-time. So I decided to tell the story of the search for Tinker from his point-of-view. That story because Dark Steel and I talked about it's genesis in a previous blog:

The genesis of this story goes back to 2016, long before I'd ever watched the first episode of FiM (early 2020). At that time, I saw a piece of artwork showing a wizard walking. That's it.

There's been a delay in the editing of the next story to publish, so I thought I'd catch up on the non-commission artwork I haven't shown yet.

Since the story currently being published, A Mare in the Wilderness, has Starlight Glimmer as a major character, I thought it would be a convenient time to show the little collection I've put together. Yup. I'm a Starlight fan.

I'd like to find a post-reform Egmont figure, but they tend to be rare and expensive.
