So got a new and different idea for a slice of equestria mlp scenic illustration

most of my other pieces i have focused on the beautiful and elaborate of ponyville canterlot and the wilder world. well this one is going for a more urban dystopian vibe.

i have quite a few scenic pony pieces planned i hope to get done fairly soon. but i will share wips like this as sketching the places in my head is a ton of fun.

i do have a lore idea for this piece

as well to explain the massive imposing complex in the composition.

disclaimer this is a very rough idea plus a lot of the cities designs and some narrative elements are very much inspired from the back story and setting of a city called Kanai Ward from the murder mystery adventure video game Master Detective Archives: Rain Code

(highly recommend its made by some of the guys from the Danganronpa series

i even made a piece based on he Kanai Ward city ;) its a location i just really enjoyed and wanted to bring in to MLP basically.

the kingdom/ city of Wisteria

Wisteria was once a small kingdom in the far corner of Equestria built around mountains and forests covered in flowers of the same name (my reason why i named it this) .

it was known as tranquil a garden city due to its many beautiful public parks. doted among its floral elaborate architecture wisteria castle (in the background) was the pride and joy and central hub for rule and governance in the region

like most major cities in the world it began investing in some industry but nothing too imposing.

there was one homegrown company that grew rather quickly and even earned the praise and favor of wisterias rulers and citizens .

the technology they had invented was thanks to the unique resources they had discovered around the nearby mountains.

They were given a plot of land right next to the main city free to expand their production.

This company grew to have bigger reach across Equestria mass producing many things for every pony and creature that was for practical use or to entertain.

even Princess Celestria gave her blessing as they had helped improved many lives through their many products and inventions

However present day wisteria sees thee company's plot of land has become a high advanced central hub in all of Equestia now with its own research labs, blimps, and soon government that is threating to take over what remains of wisterias ruling class as the city has been progressing faster in tech its had an effect on the original city streets and gardens. as parts have been replaced with new structures like skyscrapers cramped apartment complexes and high end entertainment districts that are unrecognizable to what the kingdom once was.

understandably Princess Celestia is concerned about what is going on in wisteria and can not allow it to continue at its current pace as it inches closer to a Dystopian kingdom .

So she's sending her faithful student and her loyal friends to investigate and help Wisteria out.

They have never quite seen a city or place like this.

until next deviation friends
