Well I WANTED to have this uploaded the day Keep Calm and Flutter On was aired, buuuut that didn't end up happening because I just wasn't satisfied with it yet.
Anyways.
Every time I listen to the jazz cover of "Discord", it makes me imagine him doin' a jazzy number to it. And of course me being...myself, it became a Dislestia thing.
I'm actually trying to work out how I draw younger!Discord because I've not liked how he was coming out in each panel of the Dislestia blog. The way I was drawing him made him look more like Discord got a hold of some hair dye rather than an actually YOUNGER him. So I drew a bit of inspiration from two places: first being this absolutely wonderful drawing of Discord by . I dug how she drew the fringe of his mane being swept forward and further up his head (which makes sense to me; receding hairlines are a problem even in thousand year old spirits!). It gives him a more youthful, rebellious appearance, so I incorporated that into my design. The second being Mr. DeLancie himself. I compared a photo of him when he played Q to his appearance now, and noted his eyebrows were much neater and his eyes, much wider. It's not so obvious here, but that's what I've got in mind for future drawings.
Augh, the pose was referenced from a photo but I can't seem to find it again! I just liked how energetic it looked and thought it fit them.
Ooh this is very lovely! I really love these two so much, in fact their the first MLP ship that I admired for so long. I love Discord's position so much. >u<
I had a lot of fun with the poses. My headcanon is Discord is actually a very skilled dancer, there's just not many ponies with the hoofwork to keep up with him.

But you know, the show must go on and all that. I'll manage. c: Thank you for the comment!
The movement is lovely! And the expressions are fun!
