Description EDIT:
Dont get excited, The Luna comic got some "updates" [link]

The whole Luna comic may take some time, but I can upload the second finished pic if you want....

either way, I also updated this pic over the days with some undercover updates: fixed the lighting on one of the front legs, added my signature on Celestia's painting and other stuff.


Luna represented in a key moment before she became Nightmare Moon.
my first try at making "complex" shadows with photoshop.

The first thing I thought when I saw this was The Beast!? But then I realised the painting was covered with ink, not shredded. You have intrigued my interesting regardless. I do anticipate the coming of the comic.

No Luna. You are realizing that you should be ruling over night and day. You have let you sister have control, but no more. You will soon form a New Lunar Republic where peace, freedom, and prosperity shall reign, and we shall join it.

noooooooooooooooooo Luna noooooooooooooooo
*sing*
Luna won't you cry for me
I'm as lonely as I've ever been
I am forced back into the start
Is there any way to fix a broken heart?
*sing*
now go and be happy luna instead ;/


really nice work ♥, great stuff a always, even though i am wondering if this is a child photography in the background, because Luna seems kinda grown-up (like we know her), but Celestia still got her "old" fanon? pink hair and looks like we know her, really like the tar spots on her face ^.^

yeah Eurobeat/Odyssey are geniuses, but AlexS just improved this masterpiece again(imho) unbelievable, but i checked some more music of Eurobeat/Odyssey and i must say I Breathe Fire is also freaking great, even thought its less pony related(still could be if you make up your own story for it , cant wait for Super Ponybeat Vol. 2... aah this fanbase is awesome... you know what i am singing right now ;D

omg, sorry it took me so long to realize this. about your worries of Luna looking too old and Celestia having her pink hair.
well, we can see she has pink hair in the first episode intro, and when Celestia see's Luna after destroying Nightmare Moon she says "It's been a thousand years since i`ve seen you like this sister" hence me drawing her like she appears in the show.

But then we wouldn't have the Elements of Harmony. And, most importantly, no Sad Luna comics.

Semolika In reply to B127 [2011-08-04 20:37:05 +0000 UTC]

Hmm. Good point. As much as I hate seeing Sad Luna, it still has an impressive emotional impact for some reason, which is awesome.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

B127 In reply to Semolika [2011-08-04 20:46:49 +0000 UTC]

It's probably a matter of taste. I have read too many fantasy stories where having a pure-blooded/god-sent/whatever king as surpreme ruler is apparently the natural order of things, which, for some reason always bothered me a bit. I like how the brony fandom put a little crack in the shiny 1000 year ruler image.

... and no, I don't like the "rise up, ponies of equestria" grimdarks. They are overdoing it. But sad luna is just skewed enough to make you think and still fits into the theme of the show IMO.

InkBottleInc In reply to B127 [2011-08-06 10:04:27 +0000 UTC]

I can only guess its because a lot of pure-blooded type characters are written in a way that makes them rather unlikable or unrelatable to the readers/viewers. One of the most important things about character development is making sure that your character is of course LIKABLE but it is all too easy for people to just create a 'perfect' character that might have all the powers of god but have the personality of a peice of cardboard but nonetheless, everyone loves them, their powers are endless and anything opposite of such is conformed to cliches in order to make the character look all the more important.

Semolika In reply to B127 [2011-08-04 20:49:57 +0000 UTC]

Exactly. I don't go for the grimdark stuff either, though some of my comments may give that impression.

But you're right, Sad Luna really makes me enjoy the basic plot of the pilot episodes. Of course, then I got mad that Luna only got a minute or so of air time. At least we'll see her again in season two!

Yeah, really looking forward for Luna in Season 2, too! We ... must ... persevere ... hnnnng!

AVeryStrange In reply to ??? [2011-08-04 20:13:50 +0000 UTC]

I want to see more but at the same time I know where it's going. A character you love "going crazy", if done right, is one of the most disconcerting things to see. Unfortunately, knowing you and your work, I don't doubt you're going to pull this off well.... and that worries me D:

xscaralienx In reply to AVeryStrange [2011-08-04 20:52:07 +0000 UTC]

oh yo , I always "loved" the moment Luna was full of jealousy and despise towards her sister and the other ponies, dont know why.

...stil, thanks for believing this will turn out good
