Twilight at Twilight - AvA Round 1

This is my entry for 's Artist vs. Artist competition, round 1. The theme was "Time of Day," and I was assigned "twilight."

I actually had to look it up, because I'd always thought twilight and dusk were pretty much the same thing. Turns out, twilight is the time between sunset and dusk. I figured, who better to depict twilight than Twilight Sparkle herself! This is my first time painting a MLP, but something tells me it won't be my last. ^^ She was really fun!

I'm up against two other great artists for this round: and . Can't wait to see what they come up with! Good luck to all the participants!

EDIT: I uploaded a progress gif of this for anyone who's interested:
