Description
"No harm may come to her... I love her.""Tell them they have to save him... I love him."
This particular pose is intended to show Sombra running in to save the day. (Or save the night? Things are different in the reflected world.) Thanks to Fragnostic for feedback while I was creating this!
I enjoyed the Reflections comic arc, but I felt it ended too abruptly. It had a lot of world-building and background / flashbacks and did so in a cohesive and believable manner. There was also a lot of background humour. Honestly, it's worth getting the comic just to see evil princesses. And on the last few pages, you can see the princesses in some other forms...
Spoiler warning for below
Although I enjoyed the Reflection arc, it also left me feeling rather sad. That Celestia had fallen in love was a real heartwarming moment. It showed her to be more normal, even as though it's implied love is forbidden for her. But to be reunited with her love and then torn apart again seemed unnecessarily cruel. My belief is that the cleansed parallel Celestia and Luna found a way to distribute the dark magic to a large number of ponies, in a dosage too small to cause harm. After freeing Sombra, both worlds will find a way to restore the link so the lovers can be together again.
The King Sombra character and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic are the property of Lauren Faust and/or Hasbro and/or others.

I'll be honest, the Reflection arc made me sad for that reason too. And it helped me see that something I suspected is true. There is a possibility for good in King Sombra. And I'm going to hold on to that possibility. I loved the way he turned out here.

A masterfully-done rendering of Good King Sombra, well done!
I too was sad to see the outcome of that arc and agree with you on how it made Celestia more normal. The recent origin story for Somrba however was a complete let-down - According to it Sombra's not even a real pony! It showed his tragic fall to corruption and how he lost the love of somepony most beautiful in body and soul.
(My one critique of your work here is that Sombra looks too much like Shining Armor facially and not enough as he normally does)

Thank you! Shining Armour was my basis / reference for the image, so that's probably why Sombra looks too much like Shining.

Hey, I would be honored if you gave this a read, www.fimfiction.net/story/19131…
It's the series retold with my OC Midnight Blaze thrown in, and with male characters like Big Mac and Thunderlane having more significant roles, and you might like when it gets to Sombra's debut
If you're interested, lemme know
