Some design variations for Sunset. Pre-redemption poncho fit, casual fit, and post-redemption charro fit.

Marcus Adler, our big bad, is the strongest telepath in a generation and he will use it to get anything he wants without hesitation.

As our OC Gareth, who has more than a little trauma from this man, put it, "He’s like a sick kid sitting over an anthill with a magnifying glass."

Artwork by my awesome co-writer @touloserlautrec

I wanna make an appreciation post for everyone's villain OCs. Please please please tell me about the most nasty, vicious, evil little bastard from your brain.

I promise I'll be perfectly normal about them and not make them my blorbo <3

Close enough, welcome back Sunset

[sunset-a-story]

healer for the knack ask game, please!

Thanks for the ask! 🤕Healer: Does your OC have any scars? What are they from? I'll answer for Gareth, the character who inspired this one. Gareth has a healing knack and has one prominent raised scar that surrounds his right elbow from the traumatic injury that triggered his knack to become active.

Ever since the knack triggered, he doesn't scar anymore--or else with his background having worked at Entropy Games Inc. he'd be covered head to toe in scars.

Sunset (& Shimmer) versus the Siren Sisters.

Finally got to designing the Dazzlings. First time doing monsters too, it was fun. I'll post a synopsis of Sunset's story for the AU below the cut.

Once upon a time, there lived a human in Canterlot simply named "Sunset." She was the prized pupil of the Sun Witch Celestia (aside from Celestia's adoptive daughter, Cadance) –– her "little solar flare." But Sunset desired more than status; she wanted power –– she wanted to be a Witch. For when she looked in the mirror, she no longer saw a lowly human, but the Fire Witch she was meant to be.

The more Celestia denied her desires, the stronger her animosity grew. One night, Sunset performed a dark, forbidden ritual to commune with the spirit world and grant her a Witch's body. But the ritual backfired when Celestia stormed in. In the ensuing chaos, a piece of Celestia was transferred into Sunset and three wicked spirits were released into the physical world: the Siren Sisters –– Aria, Sonata, and the most powerful, Adagio.

Despite her best efforts to contain the sirens, Celestia could not stop them from escaping to Earth where she could not reach. Distraught, betrayed, and heartbroken, Celestia banished an inconsolable Sunset to Earth. Only once she vanquishes the three spirit blights she brought upon this world will she be allowed to return home.

Today, Sunset wanders the American West with her trusty steed Shimmer in search of the final and eldest sister. She's known by many names to those who cross her path: the Dragon Killer, la Vaquera del Fuego, the Flame of the West. And through her years of traveling alone, her hatred burns hotter and hotter –– hatred of Celestia, hatred of the sirens, and hatred of herself.
