Description So waaaaay back in May I uploaded this pony (and dragon)-packed updated of Edward Hopper's painting "Nighthawks" 




That, however, was not the original.  Rather I was working on a request from the amazing Vincent Tong, voice actor extraordinaire behind such characters as Prince Blueblood, Garble the Dragon, and Donut Joe!  He asked for his characters set against the backdrop of the original painting for an upcoming convention appearance. 


Sadly, that convention fell through.  I didn't want to use his special piece until he'd had a chance to debut it, but at the same time I wanted to display it at a local art show where the reference would be appreciated.  So, I made some changes and turned it into a Twilight/Trixie/Spike joint instead. 


With Vincent's permission I can finally post the original!  At the time, it wasn't public knowledge that he was voicing Flash Sentry in the Equestria Girls movie, but I REALLY wanted to add the character on the far-right-hand stool.  Need to go back and add him to the scene sometime. 


Vincent is an amazing talent and a great friend.  If you have a chance, take the time to check out his website at www.vincetong.com or on twitter @VincentTong007

Awesome! I loved the previous version, but this one's just as great. Definitely looking forward to the one that has Flash Sentry as well!

(Ooh, and I just noticed the street signs! Clever. )

Fun fact! The original has no way out of the diner! It seems you've fixed that however, which is awesome.

Great VA, that Vincent Tong. He also voiced Gene Khan/The Mandarin in "Iron Man: Armored Adventures."

I thought Andrew Francis, Shining Armor, was the voice for Flash?  I remember being the source of many an awkward love joke.

I'm kinda laughing at some irony here: way back I based the design of a donut shop after the diner in the same painting.

So I think having donut joe's shop to mimic the diner is setting some nostalgia for me.

What I also really love about Vincent Tong is that he voiced my favorite character from one of my all time favorite anime, Matsuda from Death Note! He was AWESOME in that show!

Is that not what made him so lovable? And in the end, he came out as a total badass.

If so, you'll have to remember that it was before May, which was before EqG came out.

Both of your Nightponies drawings are absolutely awesome and should be at least as valuable as the original.

Very nice. "Nighthawks" was always a favorite painting of mine. I'm sure those three would have an interesting conversation.
