Description
Obligatory Luna turning into Nightmare Moon picture. Not all at once, but the seed is starting to grow. I've always liked how NMM's armor roughly mimics the shape of Luna's mane, so I tried to show the transition of it here.That odd, random golden thing she is pushing down is a photoframe (although you'd never be able to tell if I didn't tell you) of this picture - [link]
This picture also reaffirms that lineless style coloring just doesn't like me.

Wonderful work

I love it! My stories are going to be heavily Luna/Nightmare Moon based, and this picture is just gorgeous.

The funny part is that I never intended to like the show as much as I ended up liking it (which seems to be a pretty common factor for many people going into it lol) but with so much wonderful art and music and creativity bursting out from all these talented people in the pony fandom, I couldn't help but contribute a bit myself!

Wow, this is stunning! Now that you mention it, the armor does somewhat mimic her mane.

Is this also the reason why wasn't Luna having the old mane in Season 2?
Nice work!

Looks very nice! Tying the fear of regression to her starry mane like that is delightful symbolism.

I love the effect you pulled off with the mane melding into the armor, you really did a great job with that! I love the concept and the composition.

Thank you so much! I was actually really worried that it would look really unnatural, so I'm so glad to hear that the concept worked out the way I wanted it to!

Oh yeah, it doesn't look unnatural at all, it looks completely seamless. Again, great job.

oh my gosh, thank you! I was actually really worried that NMM would look like some kind of hideous second head sprouting randomly out of poor Luna, so I'm so glad to hear it doesn't look (too) unnatural!

Thank you! The coloring was actually difficult for me, not used to working with so many similar shades of blue and purple! (and not used to lineless coloring, ever.)
