“Thinking you’d hate me, if you knew” #4

5/13

Fifth picture! Okay this one was actually the hardest and worst to draw so far in my opinion… Anyways- ahem. Her arms and hands. (Once again… Sunset’s physical appearance in my au is messed up so I hope you understand!! 🥹🥹) This is basically- a worst case scenario imagined in her head of her fears… where she immediately gets abandoned/rejected the moment her closest and best friend (that she trusts the most and yet hides the most from) sees her true self underneath the mask

More random nutshell nonsensical lore (I hope you understand… >_<): Sci-twi is the only person in the friend group who hasn’t seen Sunset at her lowest and worst (pre-EG1 Fall Formal (the bully), Fall Formal (the demon), and everything else (half-demon, a contaminated victim, monstrous scars, bleeding, paralysis, her hideous body) after). Her only impression of Sunset is Daydream Shimmer at the Friendship Games and the person who saved her (on top of that- a brave, confident, bold, untouchable person with a fiery personality… AND- Twilight has a crush on her) Sunset does not want to be any more than that person. She only wants to be what Twilight sees. Nothing else.

Here are the lyrics that I am planning to visualize out for my personal au revolving around Sunset:

”Smiling on the surface” #1 https://derpibooru.org/images/3808289

”Wishing I was perfect, just like you #2 https://derpibooru.org/images/3816236

“Fighting to be flawless” #3 https://derpibooru.org/images/3829406

“Anything but honest” #4 https://derpibooru.org/images/3833285

There were too many reference bases jumbled together in this one so I don’t have a link to one clear reference qwq

This is an alternative version of the artwork with eyes for Sunset: https://cdn.phototourl.com/free/2026-07-04-1127043c-2335-4b55-95e2-d58e95e8af85.png

I was very torn between whether to add eyes or not in this one… and this entire piece itself just felt odd in a way (the way Twi is walking away or the placement of the two maybe?) for some reason…

Please feel free to leave constructive feedback! I’d really really appreciate it :D
