This time, the style is a LOT different like I said it would be. I wanted to do a picture that mimicked the cartoon style. I thought about making a very cartoon looking background too, but the scene I wanted to do was just too ambitious for that.
Story time. I write a little story behind each of these Tales grown up pictures because my crusade right now is to show them all achieving their dreams.
I really did not set out to write this much. The story just flowed out on it's own! Sorry! XD
Bright eyes heard a calling early in her life to become an environmentalist. Originally she wanted to be a doctor and was certainly smart enough for that career. But, she saw a severe lack of ponies interested in taking up the cause to keep their world beautiful. Afterall, Pony Land WAS beautiful. It was green and had a blissful ring of innocence and peace. But Bright Eyes knows you can't retain something as wonderful as this with complacency. A balanced ecosystem and clean biosphere is something you have to strive for, ESPECIALLY when things look fine. You want to keep it that way.
Lancer fell in love with Bright Eyes early in their lives. Puppy love in elementary school. Infatuation in high school. This turned to true devotion by the time they reached college. Bright Eyes looked up to Lancer in a way she couldn't to many other ponies. He was the son of a very rich family. But he was humble and sincere despite it all.
It was harder for her to be with him than it should have been because he went to a private school while she stayed public. Bright Eyes shared Lancer's love, but she kept her heart more guarded than most because she was smart and practical. She knew that most relationships hit a crossroads at college even when you can attend the same institution. Bright Eyes would attend a prestigious school, yes, but Lancer would be going where his father wanted him to go. And parting is not as sweet as it is sorrow.
And that is exactly what happened.
Until Lancer chose his heart over his family.
After both obtained a 4 year degree and Bright Eyes began her research, Lancer joined Bright Eyes in the field. (the research field that is ^_~) Finally Bright Eyes let down her guard and accepted what her heart had wanted for so long.
Today, Bright Eyes and Lancer rise at dawn and have left their cabin for a daytrip into a deep and unexplored part of this valley to catalog the local animal and plant species.
Lancer speaks to Bright Eyes about the course he has plotted for them to take today. Bright eyes looks on lovingly at her husband. Both have become what they wanted to be, but sometimes dreams can also be fulfilled by finding yourself in the heart of another.

You really retained the original Tales style.
