(I hope this hasn’t posted twice. The page is glitching horribly on my phone. My sincerest apologies if it has done so.) I had to do a double take when I first saw this picture in my suggested feed. It is simply exquisite! The detailing is phenomenal. I love how you added strands as well as a silhouette to Celestia’s hair. It gives it so much more of a realistic, lively, aura. It makes her appear more like she belongs in the role of the one that brings forth the dawn.



The way it all blends together looks looks far more natural than the show depicts it which is quite bothersome given their budget and the fact it’s their character. There’s so much more they can do with them that they refuse to all for the fact that it’s mainly a kids show. I can guarantee if they split it and made a more adult oriented one that was set aside with a more in-depth type of deal. Ratings would hit the roof. People desire so much from this show and work like this captivates that.

I can get over Luna’s hair either. The way you implemented the stars to compliment not only her as a character but the hues of purples and blues that you used is extraordinary. While I feel there may be a few too many, I still adore the way they sit. They look more like they belong to the matter that makes up her follicles. For a moment, I thought I was looking at the sky which is something I feel you hit home with to a gorgeous degree.



The little luminous astronomical touch to her tears was a brilliant addition and completely adds some much more character to her persona.

I also heavily enjoy how well you managed to pull off the metallic look to their necklaces. (I never did know the technical name to those particular pieces.) I can not for the life of me pull off armor in my animations let alone something such as their royal circlets that surround their necks. I spend hours trying to get it right and you managed to do it. Including the additional engravings. The amethyst Celestia bares in her attire looks like crystal and I’m almost certain Luna’s must be some sort of opal but is nonetheless just as miraculous.



It will most certainly make an addition to my favorites. Keep adding such beautiful details to your work because I promise while it may not seem so; it does not go unnoticed. I hope one day I can dish out something that’s as beautiful and speaks as many volumes as this.
