"My entry for WinterLighth's MLP: Expanded Universe Art contest!

Based on the episode: "Bats"!

This is a what-if scenario where instead of using mirrors, the Mane 5 decided to use Applejack's most prized Apple to fatten up and put Flutterbat to sleep, allowing Twilight ample time to restore her back to normal, though Fluttershy WILL be quite surprised when she wakes up with all that lovely juice fat! XD

Sorry, Applejack, but if I had to choose between a prized fruit and getting my friend back, I'd choose the latter every time!

NOTE: Ok so funny story, I had never ever drawn Flutterbat before, not once, which is very surprising to me cause I loved the series and I loved the bat version of Fluttershy too, so I decided to correct that mistake! X3 Another thing to note, fun fact too: the background that you see here? I made all of that. I tried to find a good background pic related to the episode in question for use, but ugh, none of them were high quality enough. So I figured, what the heck, I'll just make a HD background over it. Took me four hours to try to capture the background almost exactly like in the show. XD

Anyway, the link to the contest information is right here if anyone else is interested in joining!
