Bring back the Nightby *Longinius-II

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Movies & TV

Your poor pitiful sister is no more, Celestia of the Sun! I am Reborn as the True Queen of the Night! I am Nightmare Moon, fear me and love me! From this day forth, the Night will last FOREVER!

Long ago, the Ursa used to live in harmony with Ponykind, living in peaceful coexistence under pacts with Luna Princess of the Night. But that peace was broken when the evil Nightmare Moon killed the eldest of the Ursa Majors. Wearing the fading glory of the Great beasts pelt as a trophy. Distrust between the Ponies and the Ursa.... Was never healed.

It took quite a bit of time to get done, but it's finally ready. It was a bit of a challenge to figure out how to colour her black coat, but I went with a shiny blue highlight style rather than try to use grey. It's very nice how it came out to be.

I hope you guys here like it as well. 8D

I was looking through my messages and I saw this piece of work! This really Embraces Nightmare Moon's look I like how you did not make her mane and tail smoky looking she looks bald that way I love how you made it look like she has hair I even enjoy the gems made in her helm and shoes and the way that claw-like thing wraps around her neck and eventually becomes a graceful piece of flowing jewelry! Hasbro could have done better....BUT NOT BETTER THAN THIS! Not as detailed, flowing and, eerie....It is great 5 out of 5 Stars!

What do you think?

Buh.... Here I am, looking through my messages and I see this amazing piece of work.

I gave a 5 for vision, because both the art style itself and what nightmare moon is wearing set it apart from most of the artwork I've seen of Luna's alter ego. Definitely one of the more beautiful ones as well.

a 5 for originality as well, because most of the artwork out there of her is usually her in-show appearance or as close as you can get with a humanized version. Her outfit sort of speaks viking warrior to me, but with a bit of Castlevania's Dracula flair to it, especially with her cape and helmet.

I'm not a very good judge of techniques, because I'm more of an artist with words, however, whatever you did here made it look amazing.

For impact, I was quite literally struck speechless for a few moments. It almost looked like she was about to jump through my computer screen and bring about eternal night.

Overall, bravo to you, good person, for an epic job that would make anyone proud to be a brony or pagasister.
