~~~
Ditzy was beyond the reach of her pursuers now. But not, it appeared, beyond the reach of their weapons. One of the Enclave ponies fired twin missiles at the ghoul pegasus as she streaked by, seeming nothing more than a glowing blur. The missiles spun, magically locking onto her. They spiraled around each other leaving a double-helix of smoke in their wake, as they chased her.
Ditzy Doo exploded... and the explosion was massive!
The center of the explosion was a glorious greenish-gold so bright it seemed to sear my eyes, lingering in my vision long after I had looked away. From that epicenter erupted a ring of spectral light, riding an enormous shockwave, rippling with strange colors like a toxic rainbow.
A Sonic Radboom.

The colors on here make me think of one of those holographic bookmarks if you know what I mean.

The world needs more Radbooms. Thanks for sharing this great rendition of a powerful scene.

The lighting is perfect! Like the beauty and toxicity of an oil sheen in the water, this conveys everything rad about a sonic radboom.

Sadly, this wasn't supposed to be frightening.

Have you ever thought about drawing a balefire strike? I havenβt seen anyone do this yet.

Hm, that might be interesting. I'm not sure I could make it look very "My Little Pony" or "Fallout: Equestria", though. The iconic image of an atomic bomb exploding doesn't leave much room for a story tie-in, unless you have a good idea I'm not thinking of?
The next picture I'm working on for FOE is something more traditional and less "trying to do cool lighting", which I'm still very much learning...

A Balefire bomb is different from an atomic bomb in the way it looks "They came back describing a huge pillar of perverted green fire with a strange rainbow sheen, wrapped with rings of black smoke..." I was thinking with Cloudsdayle being hit you would see that as well as burning sky chariots falling, or I saw this image: [link] which would be easier to do (Balefire in the background, ponies fleeing foreground) As you said your still learning so this might be too difficult.. either way keep up the good work

Ooh, this is a neat pic. I wish I could draw at something faster than a snail's pace. Maybe then I'd get to attempt some of these neat ideas.

Powerful scene. Though I kinda gotta say... in your pic she looks like a deformed bunny rabbit.

Uh, thanks, I guess? I guess I didn't get across what I was hoping to.

No you did. I just never thought of what a ghoul would look like at Mach 1.

the sonic RAd boom is both sick and beautiful at the same time...

Took me about 40-50 hours, actually! I am seriously SLOW when it comes to drawing, so I have to start a few weeks before the chapter is released. I've got one coming up for chapter 41 as well...

You get the inside story? You're a pre-reader or something?

Yeah, though this is pretty much the end of chapter 39. The author knows how slowly I draw, so she figures I'd better get some advance notice. ^.^

The end of 39 said she exploded - and as far as that was concerned, it sounded fatal!
