Description I took on a massive project to revist older works and to show just how much my art has evolved since I first started making art of mlp back in 2011. This is only one half of a much larger work that I will now be working on, featuring Nightmare Moon! This is all part of Phase 1 of my Era of Night AU.

I am keeping the resolution viewable in the original size so you can see all the details that the background has

I really, really loved the turnout and I am h appy to say this is not only a great start to 2020, but this is also my best work to date!

Hope you all enjoy

PS. there was much suffering in this piece that may not be apparent, but it is there I promise

The companion piece to this can be seen here:
The Darkest of Nights (2020)


It's been a wild ride since the original:

I definitely wanted some fiery colors with her design and lighting like this really helps me exploit those colors >:3

Excellent work! I always love heavily detailed artwork because it means that the artist spent a lot of time honing it to perfection, and that shows on Daybreaker here!

Excellent work on this! I always love massively detailed pictures because it means that the artist spent a lot of time honing it to perfection, and that shows with Daybreaker here!

What I can't wait to show more of is Celestia's background. Now that I am starting to work on Phase 1, I can start to do just that ^^

The amount of work done for this piece is insane but I think pieces like this really show how much potential I really have. Thank you for your kind words

The struggle is so real with this one, but I definitely am proud of all the work that was put in ^^

Thank you very much

In the final version, she'll be facing Nightmare Moon. Hence why she's all mad, there's a WIP of that one in my scraps if you need a sneak peek ^^
