Artist’s comment:
 
I was working on my design for what Scorpan will look like in “Flurry Heart’s Story” (yes, I’m doing what Hasbro could not, I’m including Scorpan!), but it looked young enough that I decided I should take one of my previous Tirek pics and edit it to make him look younger too. This is what they would have looked like during the time when they visited Equestria like in Celestia’s story she told in “Twilight’s Kingdom Part 1”.
 
Scorpan was designed completely by me but I looked at many different pics people made of him and did my best to make it appear similar enough to the little story-book animation when Celestia was talking about them. I know Scorpan apparently was set to appear in the MLP movie and had a design in the art book or something, but I decided to tgo with my own thing entirely. He might look more like that in his older current form that he would have during FHS. He will be playing an important role in FHS anyway so stay tuned for that.
 
Tirek was taken from one of my previous pics of him I made and I did some editing to make him look this way. I gave him hair and a goatee like how he had in the comics to make him look more like his younger self, and gave him the curved S-shaped horns since he had them during Celestia’s story.
 
After the events of my fanfic, “Age of the Alicorns: Chaos Rising”, I have thought about a sequel to that story which tells the tail of how Scorpan and Tirek arrived in Equestria and how Scorpan betrayed his brother to warn the ponies about what he was up to. It would probably be a bit more involved than that, knowing me, but I will work on that another day. For now, I think these designs will go nicely.
