Description

Ok then: Here is the next picture i've made based on the Fanfic Equestria Total War. This time we have Lyra and Bon Bon.


Story Spoilers below:


This picture is set relatively early on in the war in the fic. Basically after joining the Ponyville Militia under Derpy, Lyra and Bon Bon are part of a group of ponies who try to ambush a Gryphon supply convoy, and are attacked on all sides in a counter ambush. The ponies are able to win, due to the Pegasus ponies of the Ponyville militia arriving in the nick of time. However during the fight Bon Bon is badly wounded by a Gryphon and almost dies. Lyra and Nurse Redheart are able to save her, but she winds up partially lame and unable to fight. She does not leave the army however, as she feels she must do her part any way she can. This encourages Lyra to continue fighting, despite her repeated attempts to convince Bon Bon to leave with her. During the winter of the first year of the war Lyra and Bon Bon spend most of their time together, with Bon Bon being quite weak and a bit frazzled by the war's many terrible facts. Lyra is always there to comfort her however. (This is where this picture is set) Later in the fic they form the Ponyville Guard, which is made up of surviving ponies from Ponyville (Minus the mane 6, who are with Celestia and her army). At this part of the story about half of the original Ponyville militia ponies are casualties, but the ones who remain are battle hardened. Lyra and Bon Bon are among the higher ranking ponies in that unit and seem to only be below Big Mac and Derpy in the chain of command.


Spoilers End


Ok then, before i explain what i did in the picture i want to mention the eyes (Bon Bon's especially). For some reason i couldn't get them quite right, and Bon Bon's eyes make her look a little demented. Still it kinda fits the part of the story the picture is set in.

Alright then we have a sickly and battle weary Bon Bon being cared for by Lyra, who has a slightly altered appearance, most notably her mane, which i made longer (Which i like a lot). She wears an Equestrian army uniform and has a saddlebag (All of Derpy's soldiers have them). Bon Bon is a bit less together in the picture. You can see some of her wounds near her cutie mark, and on her neck. There are worse wounds hidden under the blanket but i intentionally hid them. Her mane and tail are very messy. She mentions in the fic how bad she thinks she looks during the winter, and i wanted to capture some of that.

Ok then, next up is probably one of the Princesses.
