@Badumsquish  
Yeah, those’re all valid points too.

@Background Pony #6D92  
I certainly hope I can keep it up, that’s for sure XD

A lot of reasons, admittedly. Equestria Girls and flashlight were a lot more controversial when I drew this, and I drew it right at the height of the whole dark skin art drama kind of thing, so probably a lot of folks looked at this and just groaned, or even thought that this was a troll pic (In all honesty I only made Twi’s skin dark because I thought it looked better against Flash’s yellow fur). Even disregarding all of that, I also could have drawn Twilight a lot better than I did; this was back when I was REALLY struggling to draw people and trying to find the best balance of Equestria Girls and anime style (and six years later I still haven’t quite found the my groove), the background perspective is wonky, the colors are all over the place. It’s one of my earliest pictures and it really shows XD

@Background Pony #6D92  
I assumed as such. But this is far from the only dark-skinned Twilight I’ve seen around here.

@Registered Anon  
Probably because Twilight’s skin is so dark. Dark skinned humanizations tend to get a lot of downvotes.

@Badumsquish  
Why is that anyway?

@Badumsquish  
Yeah, when you’ve done over 1700 pics and your fourth lowest-scoring pic only has a neutral score, you’ve probably done something right.

@Background Pony #6D92  
@Havock  
This one definitely stands as my most controversial image ever, which really shows how fortunate I’ve really been in avoiding drama or backlash XD

@Background Pony #6D92  

I like how this image have 120 upvotes and downvotes.

This is hot. I’m already picturing it animated.

@Jobel  
No reason he can’t do both.

So Flash has been fucking Twilight instead of defending the galaxy?

@Badumsquish  
And here I was hoping that Starswirl the bearded just had a whole bunch of portals to the human world just lying around in some cave in Equestria with various effects to those who pass through them.
 
Because that’s just like him to leave the princess with a defective one while he used all the fun ones.
 
 
“What, your using that old thing? I used that portal to throw the trash away! Like those annoying Sirens who wouldn’t shut up with their annoying singing while I was trying to read. Good riddance to them, they’ll never bother me again.”

@Badumsquish  
I’m not that concerned with logic, especially considering the subject matter. I’m just an analyst by trade and I like to speculate stuff. I also just wanted an excuse to use the Cave Johnson picture again. :D
 
Still, that’s interesting. As for black Twilight, I refer to the Cave Johnson quote.

@Twifan  
@ZhaoZoharEX  
Are you guys really looking to find logic, proper scale, and staying on-model in one of my pictures? Alright, since you asked:
 
It’s to balance the universe. Twilight threw the universe out of balance by bringing Human Flash to the pony world and keeping him in his human form. So when Pony Flash went to the human world, Human Flash became the only Flash in the pony world and Pony Flash became the only Flash in the human world. Since the universe must be in balance or it will careen toward destruction, and since the Flash of the pony world is human, the Flash of the human world must now be a pony, which is why he remained in his pony form. Since the Flash of the pony world is smaller than what he should be in comparisen to pony, the Flash of the human world must become bigger than he should be in comparisen to human to maintain balance.
 
He then proceeded to woo Human Twi with the tales of how he defeated Nightmare Moon, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra, Lord Tirek, and Super Queen Chrysalis.
 
As for why human Twi is black, well:  

 
@Scrounge  
Cool, thx.

@Badumsquish  
All I’ll say is that more and more movies have something awesome after the credits.
 
Well, that and Rainbow Rocks is way better than the first EqG and you should watch it when you get a chance.

@Scrounge  
Perhaps, but then he is in the human world, I assume. But then if he’s in the human world, why isn’t he subject to the effects of the mirror like Twi was? Unless he got there by other means. Maybe this isn’t Pony!Flash and is in fact Human!Flash and what we are seeing is the aftermath of SciTwi’s experiments.
 
Meh, it’s science. Let’s not question it.
 

@Scrounge  
He is. But then again, entering this world should have turned him into a human. So he must have found a portal to this world that only changes his size instead of his race.

@Scrounge  
Alternate human Twilight ;) Which reminds me: Did the human world Twi actually show up in Rainbow Rocks? I haven’t seen it yet.

So, is this Sci-Twi, or an alternate human Twilight?
 
 
@ZhaoZoharEX  
Yeah, but isn’t he supposed to be a little pony?

@PonyPon  
Well, to be fair he IS a horse. (Or technically a pony)

@Badumsquish  
ah! at least that clears things

Flash is awfully huge here.

@OptimusPrimevil  
I agree, but I just really wanted to draw Normal Norman.
 
@Putinforgod  
Probably both from Flash and dark-skinned Twi. I just loved the contrast between Flash and Twi too much not to do it and I’ve never cared about downvotes to begin with, so I went with it.
