Description

“The thunder of the harbor guns signaled the arrival of the Raptors. Friendship City had not
given up their resident Dashite. The Enclave began a full attack at the sixty-ninth minute mark.”

[First of all: Sorry for my English and for any misinformation]
This picture is about the first minutes of battle at Friendship City. At first,
the Enclave tried to negotiate “peacefully”, demanding the citizens to bring Radar
to them, a pegasus pony considered traitor and who also had informations about the
S.P.P.. After failing at negotiating, the Enclave proceeded to attack the city.
1 - Littlepip, Calamity and Ditzy Doo are not in this picture, because they were heading
to the top of the statue, preparing to infiltrate on one of the raptors, if I recall correctly.
2 - I couldn’t find any information about how Anti-Aircraft Guns from
WWI are reloaded, so I’m really sorry if I drew that pony doing it wrong.

Some 40mm Bofors L/60s, or even twinned rigs of them, might have looked fantastic in this shot.
Those things are deliciously retro-looking and iconic in their classic ground AA mounts, could be shown blazing away at targets rapid-fire, and their top-feed loading with multiple small clips would make for an impressive ammo ‘bucket brigade’. They even led themselves easily to cartoon-style drawing.

These ones are weird science, magi-tech. They’re not so beholden to what’s scientifically possible. And the fact that pony who’s been captured mid-strike seems to be shattering make it look like the weapons aren’t conventional ‘disintegration rays’.
I doubt those beams try to disrupt atomic bonds or just transfer energy to targets. Maybe they also channel a spell… like one that tries to convert matter into an ultrafine crystal so soft and crumbly, it makes talc look downright stalwart.

Gah disintegration weapons wouldn’t work. Great art, but it always ticks me off when disintegration weapons are a thing anywhere unless it is an alien trope. It just doesn’t make any sense scientifically. also foe sucks

Awesome work. Love that you put a pony in mid-disintegration. You don’t see that hardly at all. Really captured the chaos of battle.
