Part one of the collab-trade between myself and DailylifeofSpike I did the lineart (which can be seen HERE) and he did the fantastic colors! :3 I don't know if he has a DA which is why I'm posting his tumblr. So if you also have a tumblr, be sure to check him out (and if you don't, take a look at his stuff anyway 8D)!

So for this image we decided to go with showcasing an interaction between Spike and Twilight, and after I refined the sketch I did of Twi and Spike for the collab, he took up the coloring. I love the atmosphere in this; there's something… peaceful? Serene? About cloudy and dark skies with light breaking through them. I dunno what it is, but he captured it very well. C:

So as I mentioned in the past deviation, this image obviously takes place before Twilight gains her wings. In my headcanon she is the primary caretaker of Spike and basically his adoptive mother, a role they don't necessarily voice often but it's one that both fully acknowledge and embrace. I don't know whether or not I'll headcanon Spike with wings or no (I can't decide :/) but either way, I think in playful moments Twilight would pick Spike up with her magic and zoom him around in the air to allow him to feel like he's flying. Spike loves every second of it, too. x3 When she gains her wings and becomes a decent flyer, though, I think Twilight would forgo using her magic entirely and just take him on joyrides in the sky, but she'd still do this every now and again just because Spike still enjoys it, and she loves seeing him happy. :3

I'd like to write a short story/drabble for this image 'cause I wanna get back into writing fanfic (if only to keep my writing in practice), but I'm a little stumped with how to go about it, so if you have any ideas feel free to suggest it. Otherwise, you're welcome to ask any questions you have, be sure to check out DailyLifeofSpike, and thank you for takin' a look! .
