Oh look a big scary ruin to hang some skulls from P: 
I was thinking of all the clearing the Helovians did and those remains they dug up are good decorators... >_> 

Look at these two heroes going to save the day... or is one Kaos in disguise... WHOKNOWS

Summary or explanation of your entry:: YA'LL FUCKERS THINK KAOS IS SO BAD, but maybe he isn't? He said he was here to help, and sure he lied a bit, but to be fair, the Helovian Gods DID annex and kill his lands (and try to kill him) so...I mean...on balance...

So this depicts the Black Altar that Kaos raised. As you can see, there is life amidst the fuckery of the marshes, showing that maybe Kaos is really here to to help. Or if not help, you know, do some good. So the pons are looking on, going derp derp derp, lets sniff this magical flower.


I decided to go with the 'rebirth' theme, rather than water :D

(looks better bigger. that'swhatshesaid)

Summary or explanation of your entry :I just tried to fit everything in the category/theme section into one painting? The moon is being reborn look at it go. Also I should mention ENORMOUS CREDIT TO http://hmsardent.deviantart.com/ honestly at this point this is more of a collab than it is my own work. It was kinda bad and she was like: "Here let me fix this." and vanished with it for half an hour and made it pretty. Then I went and painted more on top of it because I'm okay at shading rocks.:

Texture Providers: (The textures got blended/painted over, that's why you can't see 'em. But since they were in there at one point, they should prob still be credited. (http://fantasystock.deviantart.com/art/2...4-77994115, http://photographyflower.deviantart.com/...-213704309):
