On February 24, 2022, eight years after they launched a limited invasion and occupation of border regions, the regime of Russia attacked Ukraine from multiple sides with the intent of fully conquering the nation, thence to dismember choice territories and install a puppet regime over whatever remained. Their justifications - imperial revaunchism, nationalist lies, and contempt for what they view
A pleasant surprise found me a few days ago on learning an enterprising pony commissioned fan-art for my little AU from the illustrious Pencils! Just thought I'd share.

With thanks to both the artist and commissioner. 
Exactly what it says on the tin! If anyone else is going (and if there's any kind of Fimfiction discord meetup group on it~), please let me know. With travel and etc. I likely won't be going to many of these, so I'd love to RL meet as many Fimfic peeps as I can.
There are few feelings for an author quite as wonderful as receiving fan art, all the more because I found it by sheer chance. While the artist MrRicharZ has taken it down from Derpibooru he was kind enough to let me use his work as cover art for the story.
I like that story enough (and have grown fond enough of listening to dramatic reads) that I have commissioned one from our own Skijarama!
(There is also commissioned cover art on the way, too.~)

And I love it.

You know what's interesting? "Evil" people don't ever think of themselves as evil.
John Wayne Gacy, in a last interview, before he was executed, when questioned about being evil laughed and said, "People think I'm a monster. Do you see any fangs? Any claws? lol...I'm not a monster!" This was a man who killed at least thirty-three boys and hid them under his floorboards, where the stench of their rotting corpses must have been overwhelming, but he still thought of himself as "normal."
Can I be jealous? I’m giving myself permission to be jealous.
What a feeling this must be!
It’s also very nice art in and of itself. Curious why the artist removed it later after uploading it, but it’s their art, their choice.
Incidentally, despite it being clear in the show (not least in their most recent confrontation) that Opaline isn’t that much bigger than Misty (really, Opaline’s only slightly taller then Alphabittle, and not as big) I always visually imagine her as nearly twice the size.
Not that there’s much wrong with Opaline being the equivalent size-wise of Luna, but it does show that the G4 art style, and particularly the designs of Celestia and especially Chryslais, linger in the mind more!
Now, to update the linked cover art in my review of the fic (because I link directly rather then copying and hosting them elsewhere the way PaulAsaran does, the old one will be broken now), and retract the “cover art showing Misty as a filly is misleading” statement…
Adorable stuff. I especially love how well he captured Misty's befuddled expression as she tries to process the concept of a nurturing Opaline.

It'll come out that Opaline was just a unicorn using magic to get wings. No wonder Celestia looked down on her, it was the only way to see!

They really did capture the mood of the fic, down to the little details of exactly what was on the tray.
Opaline looks more away than to Misty, struggling with her own conflicting thoughts, while Misty in her confusion looks to the viewer for an answer.
And I'm happy that You are happy!
BTW I tried to draw several different emotions for Opaline. At first it was happy face with a kind smile but it looked so silly from this angle so I had to change it.

I think the expression you chose fits very well as Opaline can't quite understand her own feelings, and buries her affection behind excuses and self-delusions.
