This is a suggestion from Guillermo González, one of the patrons. Thanks for your support and I hope you like it!
For the sand, the islands and the clouds I used different brushes instead of the typical one. Then I used the level layer to calibrate the brightness. It was fun to make.
I remember I was reading many years ago a grimdark MLP fancomic that ended up having a Twidash moment. It was predictable, but it was fun to read (although I didn't finish it). Making this drawing reminded me of how much fun shippings made by fans are. :P
Thanks for your support!
