Emoticon cover

Has anyone here heard of the Dusk Guard fanfic series? By Viking ZX? Well, if you haven't and you like adventure fics (and don't mind well crafted OCs) I'd recommend clicking on one of the links below and checking out his stuff.
For those of you that have however, this here is the cover for Emoticon, another entry in the Dusk Guard series. (Which as of this point hasn't been posted up but I'll be putting a link up when I can.)

Art-wise, not a whole lot of this is original stuff for a change. I mostly used screenshots as a base and then fixed/edited/redrew it all in SAi until it started looking good.
I also used 'free-to-use' vectors made by other MLP fans for a number of background details. For all of you curious, here are the links:

That huge castle background-->  theshadowstone.deviantart.com/…
The mini-towers--> www.deviantart.com/art/Canterl…
...And for some odd reason the links I saved for the sun and cloud vectors aren't working. I'll try to find the original pages again so I can give proper credit but that might take a while...

Pardon me a moment - WHY DA?! WHY DO YOU KEEP FAILING ON ME?! *falls into dispair as pages yet again glitch and refuse to come up*

Anyway... With that all my whining out of the way, I hope you all like this pic and I look forward reading your thoughts about it~
