“I will rise up from the chaos!  
I will rise up from the grave!  
A brother to the darkness,  
A master to the slave!
 
I am the soul descendent  
of the fire, and the rage!  
I was wrought upon the earth,  
born to rule and battle wage!
 
By the total domination  
of the world in my command!  
By the Air, and the water!  
By the Fire, and the land!
 
I give no explanation,  
I was branded by the will  
Bringer of Death and Destruction,  
To all that I now kill!
 
Bravery calls my name!  
In the sound of the wind, in the night!  
My sword will drink blood!  
And I will fight!  
Yes I will fight,  
In the daaawn of battle!”

Well this is pretty co- oh SH*T ITS MOVIN’

@Equum Amici  
There’s a couple of others here which I’d like to see animated if they may interest you.
 
>>654798  
>>676101
 
Also, >>738807  
(Seriously, check out some of this artist’s stuff- it’s close to Yakovlev’s standard).

@Equum Amici  
Look forward to seeing what you manage with that one, it’s one of my faves on here.

Welcome to Summoners’ Rift!

@40kponyguy  
Thank you for the tips, that’s helpful! I’ll update my links.  
Yeah, I had to squeeze every last megabyte out of that last one, gifs are capped at 25MB (and rightfully so). There is a really full color pallette in it and nearly everything is moving, so it’s really massive (+50MB). I’ve included a link to the higher-quality source video in its description.
 
I’m Glad you like it! There will be more :-)  
I’ve just started tackling this one -> >>826918
 
 
@springboob  
Well thanks! :-)
 
 
@Background Pony #2480  
Surprise! ;-)
 
@Eeveeinheat  
@Background Pony #FF75  
Thanks!
 
@Keith Mowz  
A lot of Yakovlev’s stuff is competing for my desktop as well. Breathtaking stuff!

Note to uploader.  
To link to an image already on Derpibooru, simply add two arrows, then the image number, like this  
>>522524 (merged)
 
Also, nice work here.
 
Wasn’t as impressed with the last animated Yakovlev Vad image here. It had lost a lot of detail from the original.  
>>864779 (original)  
>>878833 (merged) (animated version)  
I realize this was most likely due to keeping the image down to a file size that could be uploaded here though.

I will be suprised if this doesnt earn upvotes galore, featured, or 3 day top scoring by the end of the week.

When I saw the thumbnail I was like “Dant that is some good coloring it almost looks like it’s mov- SWEET CELESTIA IT IS MOVING!!!”

@Background Pony #FF75  
I would go with simply glorious.

Which is better for this epic or awesome?

Ok this is amazing.

The original was my desktop for the longest time.
