“Fighting to be flawless” #3

3/13

Third picture out of the thirteen done! Group picture phew… (rest in peace 11 hours of my life) I’d love to explain the headcannon plots and funzies but it would be way too complicated and boring for most people so here’s a nutshell of the meaning behind this lyric: mask, concealer, foundation, sleeves, full coverage, hide [from Twilight] 24/7

(There is a reason why Sunset’s outfit is different from canon… if you’ve seen my other artworks, you might be able to tell because most of them are related and take place in my personal au)

Maybe I could explain the full thing when I finish all thirteen pictures @.@

There’s also some hidden shippings that I love in this picture with all the character placements too >:3

Anyways~

Here are the lyrics that I am planning to visualize out for my personal au revolving around Sunset’s complicated situations…:

Geodes and the cutie marks on the clothes were downloaded from online

Other than the bottom-line walking/holding hands poses, I did most of the other outlines without tracing so hopefully that’s some improvement

Pinkie was also fully me :p
