Fall of the Empire

This is the signature illustration for Mystic Acoustics music album, commissioned by Vylet Pony (youtube song here)

And ohhh boy, as you can see this is a mighty one, and its the record holder for my most extensive, detailed and time consuming painting I've ever done. 
(AND ALSO THE BIGGEST ONE I'VE EVER MADE, THE ORIGINAL FILE IS 7200X12000px )

The whole process took me 3 weeks, starting with concept art and world building in order to gain a solid idea of the universe where this story happens, finishing with one week of pure rendering and detailing. Definetely learned a ton during this experience

The pegasus mare in there is called Satyrn, and the whole music album is a storytelling about her life and adventure. Its quite amazing and something I've never really seen done before
