I've tried tossing this idea into another forum's quick fiction ideas thread, but nobody picked it up. If anyone wants to try something ridiculously complex, you could try to draw something of it.

Basically, it's a what-if. What if the Elements of Harmony didn't unleash the Orbital Friendship Cannon, but did something entirely different? Try to draw the result of this "something". Possible inspirations: Voltron, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, any of the Power Rangers series.

As for my own art, I switched to drawing that other image I refuse to show here, but at the insistence of others I began another project. This is basically a scale experiment - I want to see if I can make a large, detailed image. In this case it's a humongous 1900x1024, and is still very, very much a sketch.

I'll post it as a link so you can view it zoomed out: Link
