Description
Anthro ref sheet for my Lunacorn char (my unicorn/moth hybrid moon spirit fae), as inked and colored by the amazingly talented and kind Shadowwolf (the sketch for it was done by me)...Once again, Shaddie blew me away and made Luna absolutely beautiful, graceful, dainty and elegant, just as I imagine her to be. I sooo love how this came out!!! <3<3<3 (Shaddie drew Luna's quad/feral ref as well: swandog.deviantart.com/art/Lun… <3) My dream is to have this eventually made into a partial fursuit by the incredible Qarrezel , complete with a working jaw and animatronic ears.So far, the horn is done (made by SovaeArt , here: indigo-ocean.deviantart.com/ar… ), the animatronic wings are done (collab made by Magpieb0nes /Skaros444 , here: swandog.deviantart.com/art/Ani… ), the leather corset for the wings and the matching collar will be started soon by Azmal , and the moonflower dress will be started soon by MorganCrone . The corset/collar/dress concept you can see a WIP of here (still need to draw the back view of the dress): swandog.deviantart.com/art/Lun…
Addendum: You may have noticed that Luna's wing colors have changed a bit from the previous pics I've posted of her in anthro form. Before, her wings (which are a bit paler on the underside) were a hybrid of Luna Moth (Actias Luna) and Indian Moon Moth (Actias Selene): swandogstudio.com/Lunacorn/sel… , and they still are as far as overall wing shape and eyespot shape/placement go, but I also decided to also toss in the extra pink hues of the Rosy Moon Moth (Actias Rhodopneuma): swandogstudio.com/Lunacorn/pin… (pics in top left-hand corner). All these moths are closely related and readily hybridize IRL, and you can see a beautiful example of a hybrid in that last collage of pics (bottom left-hand corner).
P.S. Also, since some folks have wondered why Luna only has wings in anthro form, I just felt her feral form would be too bulky for flight, and that the wings would look too cluttered on her. Futhermore, she can't have wings all the time, because they would quickly get tattered and worn. (Luna moths only live for around a week, and are totally tattered by the end of that, but Lunacorn lives the typical life span of a unicorn.) So instead of wings in her feral form, she has the pale green crescent moon markings on her withers. Her wings quickly grow from those markings whenever she shifts into anthro form during the full moon (starting the day before it's completely full, and ending the day after). She then sheds her wings again when she shifts back into feral form, the form she is in most of the time.
PLEASE NOTE: My Lunacorn char has no connection with either the "Lunacorn" toy from the "Penguins of Madagascar" or "Princess Luna" from "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", and my Lunacorn predates both of them by several years anyway.

Homg. This is pretty much my anthrosona, but she (Ririn) is a Rosy Maple and not a Luna. So wonderful~!

I love what you did with the hands...They can be hard to decide on in anthros and end up looking odd. Very interesting! The wings and all the details are pretty too.
I'm faving this. XD *stares at hands some more* Neat.

I've seen this for sometime, and still love it! Beautifully done. The luna moth is an exceptional moth. I've only seen a few in my life.

Absolutely beautiful! Love the way the colors are carried through. So, if I am reading your info correctly, this is going to be a costume (using this in a very broad meaning). Wow.
