Silver Glow Art! · 2:52am Apr 2nd, 2017
Some of you have already seen this, 'cause it's on Derpibooru. But for everyone else:
Commissioned from Baron Engel by ANTIcarrot.
It's an absolutely lovely piece, and I think it really captures the essence of Silver Glow.
Baron also did some preliminary sketches, although I'm not sure if he wants me to share any of them. There's one on his DA page, but several of the others are not, or at least if they are, I haven't found them yet. If he says it's okay, though, I'll post them as well, because they are quite nice.

Interesting art style
Dude that's fucking beautiful
omg thats gorgeous !
And not just her flanks either...
I love the oversized wings. Seems more fitting.
HAH!
I SAW IT ON TWITTER FIRST
\m/
Dat flank.
Sweet Celestia...
She's always going to be in my heart, even though we'll never meet.
aww that is so sweet.
Wow, that's a gorgeous drawing. I wish I had a fraction of that skill.
There is just something about the pencil/charcoal style that just suits Silver. A beautiful piece.
She's got kind of an annoyed look on her face, there. Not a fan of flappy birds, perhaps.
How appropriate; gratuitous butt shot from a papasan.
I'm actually upset I missed the session. I had today off, and 5:30 pst on my schedule, but friends came over this afternoon and I had to spend the rest of the day not watching Engel stream, or helping out with your story...
Nice, but then future does not seem to bode well for that bird.
It seems to have caught the cheerful and optimistic Silver Glow in an unusually serious moment.
"...You're after those sunflower seeds again, aren't you?"
WOW!!
I know Silver Glow is a beautiful mare but this is absolutely GEORGEOUS! 
I sure hope you are able to post the rest.
Come to Equestria.
Get a Tit on your head.
Engel's style always does an impressive job of blending show ponies with realistic horse proportions to create an organism that looks like it might actually work. I can think of no artist better suited to portray Silver Glow... not that I don't want others to try.
Glad this turned out so well.

When I saw "ANTIcarrot", I did a double-take.
"Wait, THE ANTIcarrot? SB's one and only ANTIcarrot?"
I just wanted to say, you have excellent taste. I love Baron Engel's drawings. :D

That looks like a chickadee, so it's not just innocently sitting there. It's probably deliberately perching on her to assert dominance while screeching "DEE DEE DEE DEE DEE".
Silver looks very, very much not amused. That bird is in trouble.

My turn for a double take. How do you know me from Spacebattles?
4480617
Admiral Biscuit and I saw it before twitter.

I remember some speculation about how Silver would respond to such art... "That's not what my plot looks like. You missed some bits out."

In
Soviet RussiaPony Equestria tit rests on your head!She looks slightly peeved at the bird

Well, that one's easy. It's 'cause I'm *THASF*. Yeah, I know, that's up there with other bad reveals, like "I killed Mufasa", but srsly.
I never actually favorited Silver Glow's Journal. That's because every fic I've added to my favorites has, without fail, gone on hiatus. I didn't want to jinx it. But now that it's over - straight to faves!

It's very traditional, and very horsey.
4480601
Isn't it? She's a very pretty pony.
4480604
Although it's fair to say she's got really good flanks, too.
Me, too. I think that pegasi should have more appropriately-sized wings.

It's true; she has a very pretty flank.
4480641
Also, did you just get a new avatar?
4480652
She's beautiful, isn't she?
4480667
It is, isn't it? Captures her perfectly, I'd say.
And I wish I had that kind of skill, too. All I can draw is stick-ponies.
4480699
Yeah, there really is. It's formal, but not too formal, I think.
4480741
The problem with having birds in your mane is that they're either looking for seeds or nesting material. Plus, they poop.
4480793
But(t) of course!
If I'd've known he had art streams, I could have watched. Ah well, c'est la vie.
4480797
Eh, Silver Glow isn't really into eating birds.
4480819
The sort of "why is this bird in my mane" moment. Or the "why are you pecking at my head" moment.
That's all birds want, man.
4480902
It is, isn't it? And it captures her personality perfectly.
Baron gave me permission; now all I have to do is get off my lazy butt and actually do it.
4480944
As if I needed another reason to come to Equestria.
4480963
I agree wholeheartedly.
Well, we've already had a few, and I'm more than happy to have more people give it a go. She's such a lovely mare.
4481015
It's just perfect!

Silver Glow might not mind that too much. After all, a little bit of birdsong would cheer her apartment right up.
4481900
"Alright, mister, you're banned from the birdfeeder."
4481992
She'd probably be a little bit happier with him if he wasn't right on top of her mane.
Or, if you had never heard of Silver Glow, or her adventures in college, the caption might be, "My faithful minion, what have you to report?"
Silver's right wing must be very well hidden...

I did get a new avatar.
Of my wife and I nuzzling.
Thanks for the reply!
4498854 yeah it really does. I can hand draft, that's about it.
4498879
Heh, yeah. Pegasi who can talk to birds would be the best espionage agents ever, wouldn't they?
It'll probably be a bit stiff when she gets up, and that's a fact.
4498914
It's very pretty! I like it!
You're welcome!
