This is Central Officer Luna. What is your status, ground team?
...
You think you saw a snake? What the hay does that have to do with anything?

------------------

A piece inspired by XCOM: Enemy Unknown. This is a view of the mission control center, where most of the day-to-day management takes place. Celestia and Luna take the roles of the commander and Central Officer Bradford, respectively. Twilight, and the rest of the mane six are officers, scientists, and engineers within the base, rather than active front-line soldiers.

This piece was a lot of fun to work on, if a little bothersome at one point (curse that red banner in the background...). The main challenge was the shading. Trying to get it to look like an underground base, while keeping things visible was a bit of a tall prospect, but I think I did alright on it.

------------------

XCOM: Enemy Unknown was developed by Firaxis Games, and I claim no ownership over it whatsoever.

For those of you that like strategy games, you should get XCOM, if you don't already have it. It's great!
Also, the text at the start is a slightly modified version of idle dialogue you can hear while at base.

Wow, I was focused on the globe at the center and didn't notice the surroundings. When I shifted my focus I got a little bit of a falling sensation, really powerful perspective in this one!

When I saw the url to this picture and looked it up, I really got happy. Try send it in to EQD.

I have also put it up with the other X-Com pictures on my X-Pony group on FimFiction. Here is the url if you want to see.

Very nice work! I liked the original X-COM, and really need to check out this new one.

By the way, is Luna's appearance here based on the screenshots of her standing in front of Fluttershy's cottage?

If you liked the original, this reboot is great!
And yes, that's where I got the reference for her rear 3/4ths view.
