Description

Commissioned art for a FIMFiction story.
 
I really enjoyed this one. The prompt was to draw Twilight and Gilda as Blackadder and Baldrick of Blackadder Goes Forth. respectively. British WWI uniforms are pretty gruff and cool looking, and I always love drawing Gilda.

I remember. This was my fave of the BlackAdders, especially coz military is usually serious and those lot mess things up with their errors.
The mine field one tickle me. So did the failure to hide General Melchett’s pigeon being eaten by BlackAdder, Flasheart clobbering BlackAdder, BlackAdder and Balrick being capture by the Crimson Baron, the I Spy game going wrong, BlackAdder questioning Darling in hospital, Darling’s messup with the brigadier jsut coz he caught a German accent, George’s antics, and Field Marshal Haig’s talk with BlackAdder. I also enjoy Bob, the woman. And it taught me field marshals; before I thought generals were the highest.
It rock if therer were simialr scenes in MLP; the mine field with Pinkie add for humour, the capture on planes, someone accidentally revealing Twylight’s CMC betrayal before their sisters, Applejack and Twylgith thinking some aliens enemies only to see pals, Twylight and Rarity as well as Applejack being question as Darling, and references to World Wars.

Nice! I think you really caught Blackadder’s contemptuous expression there on Twilie. Sort of face that you could see saying “Fix us some coffee, will you Gilda? Only try to make it takes a bit less like mud this time?”  
“That won’t be easy I’m afraid, Captain!”  
“Why is this?”  
“‘cos it is mud…”
 
I wonder who would play George in this?
 
I ask because now I can see “Don’t forget your golden scepter, Lieutenant!”  
“Rather, M’am! I wouldn’t want to face a machine gun without this!”
 
Ha…
 
 
 
“I have a plan, M’am…”  
“Really Gilda? A cunning and subtle one?”  
“Yes, M’am!”  
“As cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Canterlot University?”  
“Yes, M’am!”  
“…Well I’m afraid it will have to wait… Whatever it was, I’m sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madmare around here?”
 
“…Good luck, everypony.”
