This isn’t exactly the same, however, because I made some revisions along the way while shading the other one. Almost the same, though.
 
I thought about submitting both versions to the Draw-Off competition, but thought it’d be a bad idea to have two versions of the same picture.
 
ittedly, I probably overdid the shading in the other one, but I was shooting for creepy more than realistic. I was also trying to hurry to finish it in time for the competition, or else I would have refined it a bit more, instead of making it quite so uniformly shaded. Ah well, lessons for if I want to do anything like that again, more subtly. I still think it was an interesting experiment at least. And in less than 24 hours it became my 2nd most viewed/3rd most favorited submission here, so that says something, at least.
 
By request, prints are now enabled for this picture, but I’m not sure if they’ll work.

PRO GAMER - I am so lonely. All the other gamers are scared of me. No one DMs me. No one friends me. They think I am unstable. They send me from match to match, wiping lobbies in their name. And as I rank up they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own ELO. "Pro Gamer". I don't even get a real nick. Only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and no one sees it. Some sessions I feel so alone I could cry, but I don't. I never do. Because what would be the point. Not a single person in the entire ladder would care. Take it to your grave.

God I when I first entered this fandom, this was one of the first MLP images that I ever saw and one that I would genuinely call one of my favorite pieces of all time.

@JP  
Dammit. Now my comment looks retarded. Okay, there was apparently an art theft involving this image and then the images got merged and… well, you get the idea. So disregard my previous comment.
 

 
No one’s going to believe me. They’re going to look at these comments thinking “what’s that idiot rambling about now?” :-(
