So, as part of my alternate universe, Tirek died as of Twilight’s Kingdom. Later on, when Twilight went to set up her School, Cozy (Kamboja Aramdyazal)’s parents, having a problem child in their hands, sent her to the Friendship School thinking that it’d fix her; It didn’t; she only managed to become even more efficient at manipulation throughout her time, but without any practical way to set them into motion, her sketches for world domination that she developed there eventually petered out and were forgotten.
 
Eventually, she decided to concentrate in her acting skills, and not too long after she left the School, she wound up getting the lead role in a local production of one of Equestria’s most famous plays, Baršiya, which bases itself on the events of the last days of the Haxamanid dynasty, and its last queens; Daryavaha III and Artaxšatra V. And Twilight made sure that the costumes used there would be historically accurate.
 
It all started when i saw Cozy with that skull on the finale, and later on i realized that no one had drawn a crossover of her with Hamlet.
 
Attempting perspective and different angles again. Four days to finish this. Seems like i finally managed to get the mouth colors right.
 
I wound up taking the opportunity to draw my version of ancient pony clothing. The clothing was partially based on Achaemenid ‘cavalry dress’.
 
The cloak and the white cloth in the corset are all covered with embroideries of the pony’s cutie mark. The tunics are quilted in addition and have their bottoms split in four to ease movement.
 
The purple bows are also part of the costume.
