Description This took absolutely ages. Painting is horrible! Everytime I thought I was done- there was something I could add more detail to, it drew me back in, I missed two meals because of it. I stopped when I couldn't take it anymore. It's like torture you inflict upon yourself!

This is so amazing, Nalenthi! The detail is phenomenal and she looks magnificent. Well done. I will never believe you when you say you can't paint. Ever.

She looks both regal and... somehow manly I'm not sure why, but at first glance I thought it's an OC stallion

I don't draw show style and prefer more squared muzzles, so that's probably it. I decided to stick to my guns and not change my style.

It's not about show style. In general, male characters are usually more "square" in cartoons, while female characters are more... round? You can draw any way you want, but be aware you draw mares with a stallion-like muzzle

Fully aware. Been drawing them like this for a while. Settled on males having taller and wider muzzles rather than more square as the distinction. Sorry if I sound irate. I literally get this same comment every other day on tumblr, like "yeah, I know."

I don't want to sound rude, but if you get it so often, maybe that's indeed an issue?

Wonderful portrait of the princess of the night. Just look at that regal look.

Smile Luna! We love you and your smile warms our hearts.

Aw thanks. Luna's gotta scowl sometimes though, it makes her look cool.

Must be angry of her lack of presence in the the show.

Not the same in the comic, thankfully.

The show needs more Luna so badly : (

I haven't read any of the comics, myself. Keep telling myself I need to get a hold of some.

Painting may be horrible, but you have absolutely nailed this. The colours are amazing, especially the vibrancy of the eyes, and the hair is...astronomical (sorry, I had to throw in a pun). Seriously, this is awesome.

You sir, need a slap. Because you can damn well paint, I personally find it amazing, and your other artwork is as well.

Nalenthi In reply to Notepadgamer [2014-05-31 23:14:14 +0000 UTC]

Well I'm not a sir, and I'l pass on that slap thank you o_o. Thank you very much, but this took me three attempts and five hours on each of them, whereas I normally draw much faster. I don't consider it worth the time I put in, but again, thank you <3

I told you you could do it. And you didn't even need my help after all.

You did however motivate me to get it done.
