Finally I can now open up the bottle of emotions, after 9 years then watching the Epilogue, I was reduced to tears and happiness seeing our wonderful ponies grow. as I was doing this finale art, I couldn’t help but suddenly burst to tears with each character and brush stroke, every one, a remembrance of the stories and experiences that have been shared. I have one thing to say…

THANK YOU… thank you MLP, the Staff, and the Fandom for changing my life, without discovering this show and its people, I don’t know what would’ve become of me as I went through my darkest days of the past, no dream, no hope, no motivations, no self esteem, very negative, disconnected to friends…

After I discovered MLP, everything started to change, little by little. I started believing getting inspired, it lead me to discover the fandom, it started motivating me as I saw the talent the fandom showed, the fanart, music, animation and more, it encouraged me to participate, have a hobby, a way to make myself a better person and join this journey along with the other people who was the same and was moved by the show…

I started doing art to show my appreciation for the show, starting at the very bottom with no art experience, but the fandom helped me grow as an artist and be a better person. Here I am now, I have gained a sense of purpose, hope, positivity and…friends, more friends that I could’ve imagined from all around the world as we grow and share the Magic of Friendship…

Thank you MLP showstaff, Thank you Lauren Faust, Thank you MLP Fandom…Thank you for the wonderful experiences you have showed and given. I may not be one of the best artist of this fandom, but I will continue to be one, see you in the Next Generation. LONG LIVE MLP, LONG LIVE THE PONY ARMADA…Thank you…

And Thank you for reading this far…once again…Thank you…for everything.

With all my heart, Sincerely,
Dusthiel
