Description
Ever since Gallus became a Royal Guard, he has been hungry for power … to protect and serve! However, when your friends are tinier than ants, you have to get creative if you want to have fun with them. What better way to show his power to protect – than to hold Canterlot between his toes!
Don’t worry, Princess Twilight. When Gallus said the kingdom was in good paws, he meant it! Everything he steps on is magically protected, as good cartoons should be.
So, Gallus, how did you get so big? Discord swears he had nothing to do with this (nor has he been interested in attempting such a big feat). As part of his duties, Gallus has been around Grogar’s bell, along with the artifacts Cozy Glow once used to siphon Equestria’s magic. He also found a mysterious device that was left in pieces on the ground … later identified as Sci-Twi’s magic-sucking device.
Gallus swears he can’t explain what happened. It’s like he got overwhelmed with the magic of friendship! Could it be … that the Tree of Harmony, herself, is trolling with us?

Commission by Tsitra360. I played a major part in directing the composition. In addition, there was one point where I directly handled the PSD in order to guide the artist.
Don’t mean to be negative, but if you’re not the one with the pen in your hand who created at least a part of the picture (not just describing things for someone else to draw), you’re not the artist of the image
“Giant equestria-girls-ified Alicorn rarity gently envelops equestria’s planet between her fingertips. The ridges of her fingerprints, deeper than the grand canyon, press against the magical barrier protecting the small orb and cast over half of the little planet in darkness. The top half of the composition is a view from the outskirts of Canterlot where the sky beyond is taken up entirely by Rarity’s sapphire colored eye. Life in canterlot has come to a stop in light of Rarity, with day to day activities being put on hold. The bottom half of the composition is a panned out view of Rarity in space, wearing a two-piece swimsuit likely of her own design. Celestia and Luna, down there somewhere, move the sun and moon about with their power to try and get her attention, and in the process of her noticing she moves the planet down without thinking; causing cloud formations and ponies to get harmlessly tossed around as their world is rattled. Rarity looking down on the heavenly bodies with a curious smile. And all of this is the result of something gone horribly wrong with both Twilights experimenting with the portal between their worlds”
I just wrote this, and whether or not you think it’s good or detailed enough to direct a composition is subjective and up to you. The text itself that you put in the description is art too, and if this were a text sharing website (assuming that was your contribution) than absolutely you’re right in tagging yourself. But if some talented artist came along and turned this paragraph I just wrote into a picture, I wouldn’t go tagging myself on it. The image would be done done in their unique style, with their skills that they honed over however many years. It would feel wrong to me to then go on and slap my name on it and take credit for their skill
EDIT: It is a lovely description though c:

I really enjoy how the sense of terror is canceled out by Gallus’s reassuring face. He feels like a great father watching over his children. Of the Mane 6, Fluttershy might not be afraid at all (given how she’s developed by Season 9)!
Under my artist tag (“starponys87”), you can find a few more. One of them is here.

But that does not make you the artist of it.
I included my tag because I played a great part in directing the composition. It was a major collaboration between me and Tsitra.
Removed tag: artist:starponys87
Reasoning: They’re not the atist/ They did not draw it.
I also Love protectove giant. Hope There will be much more such kind pics
You made this image sound pretty cute. Nice to see a gentle giant pic like this. Usually with destruction like this it’s with a malicious giant but this one is a protective giant who’s also playful. It’s really adorable. :)

I really love this drawing. I think things came out about as perfectly as I could expect! I feel awestruck to feel so helpless – yet so loved and protected. Each of his toes is more powerful than the Canterlot shield!
The background ponies are as freaked out as Twilight, perhaps more so. The rest of the Mane 6 are not terribly worried. The rest of the Student 6 are hardly worried at all. They know and trust their blue birb friend, even if the entire planet were between his toes!
No matter how big Gallus gets, he is always Twilight’s humble servant. Twilight will calm down soon enough … and feel humbled to have such a giant guardian whom she can summon. The kingdom may be under his care, but Gallus still loves her as his ruler!
Don’t worry, as I said above: “Everything he steps on is magically protected, as good cartoons should be.” Sometimes this means things are magically reset. Or else they were somehow never damaged in the first place.
As for me, I like to imagine that the Tree of Harmony herself caused this power burst in Gallus (which I also suggest in the description). She herself seems to be a bit of a trickster.
