Description Commission work done by ~jakneurotic . Always been a fan of his more adult, grown up pony designs (from the My Little Pony series for the uninitiated) and I had asked him to do a key illustration from a fanfic I'm writing up.

The scene is of Princess Luna's final night with her loyal attendant Angel Song (who is also becoming a princess, hence the title). Angel Song is Princess Luna's one true friend in Canterlot, however destiny has her leaving for adventures elsewhere, as is her duty to the Royals of Equestria. What duties you may ask? You'll just have to read the fanfic when I post it!

A description of the scene straight from the artist, who I couldn't help but quote (with his permission) as I really loved the way he described his work on the scene:

"What I liked the most about your fan fiction concept was the sort of "love that can never be" angle. I tried to bring that across in this scene. In their final moment together on the balcony, the two characters express their pent up emotions with a very reserved physical intimacy. We view them from the rear to convey hidden feelings and the moonlight makes the scene more sombre; night time communicating an end to their relationship." ~ ~jakneurotic .

This is an incredible piece; the colors are soft and alluring. The details in their anatomy and Luna's mane are exceptional. This is wonderful work.

Ah... emotive piece, I like it... however, I have nothing but contempt for the "love that can never be" angle, so it just kills me inside.

I can deal with other moves that amount to the same: They are going to be separated, possibly forever. But no, the "can never be"... well, screw it.

Heh, well my fanfic is being written as a possible episode (or story in this case) that can plausibly happen in between actual canon episodes too... which means I can't do anything earth-shattering as saying this OC gets together with Princess Luna or Celestia, and also a way to 'write off' the OC and why she doesn't appear in MLP episodes.. because she's far away ^^

I'm not one of those people who are presumptuous enough to write myself or a friend in and do all these Mary Sue things and take the light from the real stars of the show, the Mane Six, you know what I mean? ^^

What are you talking about, the pony standing by her side is Twilight, she's not an OC

Here is a better version of the art : [link]

Oh, I didn't get it, you had a modified version of the art to match your upcoming fanfic, amirite ?

Lionel23 In reply to BronyForever [2011-11-03 23:10:57 +0000 UTC]

Totally not Twilight, check the link for the OC ^^ Also notice closely the left pony is WHITE instead of purple like her ^^

Oh alright... Makes a great light shipping TwiLuna though, the hairstyle is pretty much the same, I'm going to ask the guy i got the pic from about this...

Lionel23 In reply to BronyForever [2011-11-04 18:26:36 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, you can pretend it's Twilight ^^ She has the whole two-toned and straight hair thing going on, and she is very similar to Twilight, just a bit more outgoing and mature and not so much the innocent bookworm that Twi is ^^

Of course, being a dabbling writer myself. I'm just saying... Hm... I don't know how to put it, since sometimes the differences between angles are incredibly subtle. Still, when someone puts it in just that way it kinda puts me off.

Jakneurotic did so, check out his gallery! I've seen a lot of MLP fan arts, but his and Johnjesco's always takes the cake in how they draw and portray their art ^^ The artist for this had a grand time making this for me!

Yeah he's a real gem that I found, hence why I am asking for a few pieces from him to promote his art. He really deserves recognition like Johmjesco ^^
