Those of you who follow my cover artist will probably remember this pic in their feed, but I feel that it should be up here a well.
Not so sure about all the hooks, but its a solid piece all the same. Sing your praises below.
Also, it seems that an individual or two have issue with my usage of the word "Malkavian". Its my personal POV that if there is 1 person saying they're in the negative, there's probably 100 more who think the same way, but are quiet about it. Originally I assumed that the context of the sentence or paragraph the word was found in would be sufficient for anyone to glean its meaning, but that was probably a mistake. So I might as well put it here. And not in APA format because i'm a rebel.
Malkavian: crazy or crazed with varying levels of dark intent.
In the context that i use it in, if an expression (smile, scowl, etc.) is Malkavian then it is a temporary state, if the person is directly described as being Malkavian, (Polybia is quite the Malkavian.) it would be a more permanent state of being for the individual. (depending on context)
I also use it because i loved the http://vtmb.wikia.com/wiki/Malkavian vampire clan.
See you all next chapter!
Honestly, if I'd had to guess this creature's gender, I'd said it's male without any doubt. Kinda has that Gandalf-like amiable look too, not Malkavian in any way.
Oh well, fine art is fine. Never really understood it

Yeah i second this comment. Gave me some gender confusion, is there even any provision for a changeling 'king'?

The artist was under the inclination to make RD male for some reason.
isn't malkavian a race of vampire from the World of Darkness tabletop rpg?

That makes more sense. coz i was just imagining a blue and rainbow version of that queen Twilight cover art.
Regarding the use of malkavian, I would recommend against it. Far more people will be unfamiliar with the source material than familiar with it, and are likely to assume it's simply a misspelling and misuse of machiavellian.
It's not like you really need to use a word from WoD to express "crazy or crazed with varying levels of dark intent" as a concept, just pick an appropriate synonym for crazy that gets the general idea across.
I can see RD looking kinda of like that and about the use of the word malkavian, I was among the group that understood what you meant. I am with those who say to use it sparingly to keep the flames low.
I have no fucking idea what this is, but now I am going to have nightmares. AND I PLAY SLENDER FOR FUN!!!! Seriously, worst art ever. I like the older stuff, but this is awful.

Ill agree with the too many hooks thing and I think it feels a bit too masculine.
2241397 Who cares if a biologically female pony looks male?
So is this what Rainbow Dash and her children would mostly look like?
