Description
Many other ponies find the icy silver of moonlight to be cold comfort at best. But I would take that over pity any night...----------
BĂC reference for the title, wooo!
Just a pic of Luna raising the moon. A bit less melodramatic than Celestia at the Summer Sun Celebration.
Tried a ton of new and different techniques. Just about everything was done differently. Especially the initial sketching (no pressure sensitivity features at all, and a single-pixel brush), and the hair.
Still did lazy edge-highlighting, though. Weeeee.
This one took awhile, especially to figure out how I wanted her arms to bend. Accidentally ended up with the exact same pose as the "A BRIGHT AND GLORIOUS FEEEEEEAAAAST!" scene, the first time, and had to redo a bunch.

'cause this is Thriller! Thriller night...
What? Oh, right. Get into writing mode...
Beautiful, innit? But they still don't care. And so you once again find yourself utterly alone. Oh yes, you have your attendants, you have that colt. But everypony outside of that tiny, tiny social circle wants nothing to do with you. Just burns you up inside, doesn't it? Doesn't it hurt that once again, the world is quick to bury you?
For a thousand years, you were a boogeyman, nothing more. A tale used to frighten children. She told me, some time between then and now, that she hid the truth of your existence from countless generations because it hurt her too much to be reminded of you. Bet that made a thousand years pass so much quicker, eh?
You wanna know something? As far as I know, you were supposed to stay up there forever. You were a lost cause to her. Your sister, who supposedly loves you more than anything in the world, wrote you off. She would've abandoned you. You know first hoof how long a thousand years is. Imagine how long forever would be... Are you crying? What am I saying, of course you're crying. You're pathetic; always were, one way or another.
It's funny. The one saying all these hurtful things to you is the only one who wants you to aspire to a higher station than Princess for a Night.
Trust in me, dear. Surrender yourself to me. I am the Master, and you will obey me...
Just imagine that there's dialogue from Luna in there.

Yay!
Very depressings, though.

I think this guy being the Master works so much more than him being the Fifth Doctor, don't you?
đ: 0 âŠ: 1
Hm, depends on which Master. I wanna see a pony version of the 2nd one!

Evidence suggests he's the Simm master .
You know 's Nightmare Moon'd versions of various characters? 'cause I think a ponified version of the Pratt Master would work for a Moon'd Doctor Whooves.

Very weird, I never even noticed her.
And I dunno, Pratt was much scarier than NMM.
đ: 0 âŠ: 1
Too much so for a NMMified Whooves to be based on him?
đ: 0 âŠ: 1
Might be. Hm, it'd depend on how ponified he was.

Well, the light of the moon warms me. It's a comforting feeling, moonlight. Soothing. A feeling of security. The sun shines down harshly, searing all in its path in a fit of dominance. The moon, it shines without glaring, without malice, without pain. The moon is my sun.

nicely done, but her forehooves look backwards...

Ponies bend their arms like that all the time. [link] [link] [link] etc. They seem to shapeshift between horse and human forelimbs at will.

Yes yes, Marshmallows and pipe cleaners, lol. But it seems out of place in this setting.

Dunno, she's just supposed to be lifting the moon. By holding the bottom. Or maybe gesturing like she's conducting an orchestra. "Loooouuuuuddeeeeeerrr!"

Yea, I understand what you were trying to do, and on a human, it would be appropriate, but it looks subtly wrong on a pony. I think the hoof ornaments kinda aggravate the issue. 90% of the time their hooves point down, and having them point up kinda looks like their fetlock is broken.

The title reminded me the song "Astronomy"... oohh.. yeah, the reference. XD
