Description Vanity of day holds thee entwined
Driven by hubris and boiling with sin.
Masked by the sun, to truth you are blind
Slaves of the light that you may bask within.

Coolness of gloom oft reveals the truth
Safeguard against the cruel light.
Rise, Lunar Princess, bring darkness eternal.
Protect us, shrouded in everlasting Night.

From all of us here at SFS, we're wishing you a Happy Halloween and Nightmare Night! (It was one year ago today that Luna made her reappearance on the show.)

Song is Daylight's End. You may recognize it as the theme for Diana (League of Legends) during her launch week. You can get the song here: [link]

Thanks to Shadeoses and HC for rendering and vector assistance.

I'd like to give a shout out as well to *spiritto and ~Lionheartcartoon (the team behind Children of the Night) for some intuitive help on their blog, [link] You'll notice this drew a bit of inspiration from their work.
I've wanted to animate something with Luna involving Daylight's End the moment I heard it. This was my first time working so heavily with After Effects. The end result not only produced one of my favorite works to date, but also (with help from HC, one of our top vector and effects artists) granted me a lot of experience with After Effects, and Illustrator.
Snowdrop is still underway, and can be expected to have similar levels of visual aesthetic.

Also... Hot damn! 2000 watchers! Consider this my milestone submission.

Programs Used (in order of significance):
Adobe Flash CS6
After Effects CS6
Photoshop CS6
Illustrator CS6
Adobe Premier CS6

It's technicly true... ((In my point of view that is))
One day the sun will die...
No sun = No light.
No light from the sun = night.

SO, when the sun dies the night takesover, and lasts forever , unless a new sun is born.
And I was also thinking, the moon wont die, its an asteroid/satellite...

THANK YOU THANK YOU, This will be all for tonight! That was like... University Caliber here..

But the moon shines because it reflects off the sun... I think...

Zedrin In reply to omfgpainkillers [2013-01-28 03:26:41 +0000 UTC]

if the sun were to die our orbit would be disrupted and the Earth would subsequently die pretty quickly. And there's a good chance the moon would lose its orbit as well.

Though, in Equestria, the moon and sun are controlled independently, so that logic goes out the window.

omfgpainkillers In reply to Zedrin [2013-02-06 00:23:05 +0000 UTC]

Even if the moon stopped orbiting, it would still exist, as the sun died.
And, absense of sunlight, is night. Night lasts forever.

and without the sun's heat, everything will eventually die, unless we develop into frost zombies or something...
