Description I guess it was just a matter of time. Little simple thingy kind off...

Quite a rough finish on this one, didn't exactly go and clean up my brush strokes. for a little change hehe. Also probably because of distractions during my stream haha. Mainly myself.
Playing around with the composition, hiding large parts of the subject behind something or outside of the canvas.

This is amazing. The light and shadows in themselves make this picture exemplary, but what really makes this picture stand out is the total anguish on Celestia's face. Wonderful picture, really.

With these new episodes coming we're bound to get sudden bursts of inspiration

I just finished a painting related to the premier myself, actually!

You did very well on this one, especially with the metal rendering. It looks very convincing.

The one thing that kinda sticks out to me is the low saturation of the fire or w/e surrounding Celestia.

I feel it could've been upped a little bit, but I'm assuming you didn't want it to take all the focus.

Nicely done and it fits together with the Nightmare Moon counterpart.

This is an awesome piece AM! I like this rougher finish, it gives the subject matter a much grittier edge to an already dark piece. I'm especially impressed with, of all things, the lighting on Celestia's mane at her forehead. It's both colorful yet has that very grungy look to it.

This scene was kind of made for your darker art style Assassin monkey, the darker coloring really helps capture the mood.Β

The harsher brushstrokes lend some intensity to Celestia's emotions. I love this. She's angry, and she's sorrowful, and she's ready to kick ass. This is beautiful!

rolandscythe In reply to MoppyPuppy [2013-11-25 21:34:26 +0000 UTC]

...what? They did. Several times. She felt ignored and unappreciated and turned on her sister in a fit of anger and jealousy. This was brought up as early as the first episode.

Now if you're talking about them doing episodes SHOWING that in detail, it's never gonna happen because that's extraneous exposition in a show that's targeted at little kids.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

MoppyPuppy In reply to rolandscythe [2013-11-26 01:34:47 +0000 UTC]

Kids get shunned by classmates from mass hysteria all the time. Its a good lesson to learn.


Anyhow, Luna not having full understanding of what was happening when she transformed is something to look into among other things. I feel DHX knows now that there are those that analyze episodes for unanswered questions.


Questions such as why Twilight's use of Alicorn magic to turn the potion white ended up being DARK magic?


The writers are up to something.
