Artist notes: Because I can't think up anything original. I decided to design
                     his Lunbra Child in his MLP fanfic: "Beyond Life and Death"


 [MetroXLR99 Description]


This is a unique art piece that did for me.
in that I never really got around to designing this character myself..I just thought up the character, and let design it herself.


So, anyway.. Glimmer O'Hope (or, "Glimmering Hope", as I call her sometimes.)
is the "missing link" that connects King Sombra and Alex Cosmos in my MLP story: "Beyond Life and Death."

She was concieved at a time when Sombra hadn't yet turned evil.
BUT, after Grogar corrupted his soul, and twisted his mind..any hopes of Luna having a happy family were shattered.

following Sombra's "defeat", Luna feared for the safety of her child
(knowing full well that she would be hated, even KILLED, for being King Sombra's Daughter.)

So, hard as it was..she secretly went to the furthest reaches of Equul (beyond the borders of Equestria itself)
and, entrusted her one and only child to a simple couple of farm ponies (who always wanted children, but were unable to concieve their own.)


It broke Luna's heart (and, contributed to her fall into Nightmare Moon many years later)
but, in order to preserve her daughter's life..she HAD to say goodbye.


Celestia NEVER learned of the existance of her niece (she would centuries later, though.)

when "Nightmare Moon" was banished to the moon, apart from plotting her revenge against her sister,
she also spent the earliest part of her 1000 year exile watching her daughter as she grew from a filly, to mare.


as stated, Glimmer was a humble optimist.
she always tried to find the bright side to even the darkest of situations.

to many, she was like a "Star", that shined brightest amongst all others in the night sky.


She never learned of her true origins in her life (though, she would know the truth after death, once she became a spirit.)

There is an old legend that when Glimmer O'Hope died..a frightening wail could be heard from the moon
(of course, Nopony ever learned why. Not even Celestia, who was the only one who knew the truth behind "The Mare in the Moon.")


Many centuries later, during the Ghost Invasion that plunged all of Equul into "Afterdeath"
Glimmer O'Hope's spirit would appear before her descendant, Alex Cosmos, on occasion.

and, just as she did in life..would give the young hero 'hope' to continue on, and save the world from this new evil.


To quote the sagely mare: "A True Hero isn't measured by the size of his strength..but, by the Strength of his HEART."


Later, Glimmer would appear before her mother and aunt for the first time. it remains to be seen how this "reunion" will affect either alicorn.



 TRIVIA: .Her character is 'BLAD' is akin to Mufasa from The Lion King.
                as both characters are dead, but live on in spirit to guide their children.


               .Her "voice actress" is Paige O'Hara.
                who is best known as the voice of Belle in 'Beauty and the Beast'


               .Despite SOME of her descendants turning out to be 'evil' (EX: Lionel Cosmos)
                Glimmer holds no ill will torwards any of them. In Fact..she Pities them for the dark path they follow.


               .The one HOPE that Glimmer has is that one day, Both her parents can be together again.

MetroXLR In reply to ModernLisart [2014-12-31 08:03:27 +0000 UTC]

Sure, Okay. I'd LOVE that!
though, I haven't drawn that much LunBra artwork to go with.

mainly, THIS One, and THIS.

though, if you are ALSO planning on making your own artwork based on my concept,
then I must say, I would be Very excited for such a prospect.


I await your reply.

Would it be weird if Glimmer's husband was a batpony??

MetroXLR In reply to EpicCrasher [2014-12-21 01:22:15 +0000 UTC]

Not really, no.

as Glimmer prefers the night, it makes sense that she would take a liking to a batpony.
(especially since Luna's personal guards are all batponies themselves.)

NOW, I wonder how Luna/Nightmare Moon felt about this stallion.
as Luna/Nightmare was ALWAYS watching Glimmer, she might have understandably had mixed feelings on them "conceiving"

But, in the end..he loved Glimmer, and made her happy.
SO, Nightmare Moon probably DIDN'T give Glimmer's husband nightmares.

Will you be doing more of the family tree of Luzar and Luna? What are the names and histories of the descendants of Luna and Luzar who went bad?

MetroXLR In reply to FoxMan0224 [2014-12-20 19:10:07 +0000 UTC]

It isn't humanly possible for me to think up 1000 Years worth of generations of ponies.

So, just use your imagination.

FoxMan0224 [2014-12-18 22:00:28 +0000 UTC]

How about this? Luna secretly married Luzar, the future King Sombra, since Celestia forbidden them to be together. The union between Luzar and Luna is kinda like Star Wars' Anakin and Padme.

She's an interesting character. Interesting to hear the Luna and Sombra were married before he turned evil.

Oooh I love the extra bits of bio you added.

I always envisioned Glimmer to be a bit like Belle.
I also like how your going to make her like Mufasa.

I'm also happy that she'll get her family reunion,
and meet Alex

And nice pun you made there

PS: "A True Hero isn't measured by the size of his strength..but, by the Strength of his HEART."  Where does that quote come from? it sounds familiar

MetroXLR In reply to EpicCrasher [2014-12-18 18:55:08 +0000 UTC]

Well, I had my OWN input on the works you did for me (and, no offense intended, but your notes can be rather..short.)


From the get-go, I always wanted Alex to have some "spirit guide" during his battle against the dark forces.
some powerful, all-knowing sage to guide him on his journey, and find the strength he needs to fight on.

Mufasa has always been a good example of that.
Although, Glimmer won't just appear in "clouds", sometimes she'll appear in mist, and even in person.

(At some point, I plan for a scene similar to THIS ONE to ocurr between them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAkDnI…)


For Glimmer's voice, I wanted it to sound beautiful.
she'll do alot of talking, so her voice has to be one you like to listen to.

while I had alot of good choices between the 'Disney Princesses' (Jodi Benson, Linda Larkin, Jennifer Hales, ect.)
I ultimately decided upon Paige O'Hara, because she has a great speaking and singing voice.

and, hey..She "Tamed a Beast", right?


The whole Reunion between Glimmer and her family will indeed be a defining moment.

for one thing, Luna will 'fall to her knees, and cry' begging for Glimmer to forgive her for "abandoning" her.
(Glimmer of course forgave her mother centuries ago, so all is well between them.)

Celestia, however..will take things the hardest.
as it was her overprotectiveness that led to Sombra being corrupted in the first place
she will shift all the blame of Alex sufferin, Glimmer's lonely life,
and even the Invasion itself on herself and slip into a deep depression.


Glimmer will then work her magic, and give the great Celestia hope to forgive herself, and move on.

Maybe after the seeing the "history" of Celestia's overprotectiveness for her sister, Luna dating Luzar, Shinning Armor will try to be a better "brother" to Alex, her sister's coltfriend and possibly admit that he had "never been so wrong in his life." You know like in the scene in "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" with Thorin Oakenshield and Bilbo Baggins. Maybe beg Alex to forgive for his previous hostile behavior with a bit of tears thrown into it. Maybe try to get close to Alex by spending a day with him.
