Description
I was drawing this Sunday night, and ended up CGing. This is the result I got.I haven't drawn Nova with Dark Nova for a while, but for those who haven't read the history of Dark Nova's creation, she is NOT Nova's alter-ego. She's a half clone, the other half being imcomplete and robotized. The storyline is long, but it should be somewhere in my gallery. Basically Dark Nova's final ambition is to destroy Nova, and rid of the creators who "foolishly" abandoned her.
And the title, yes, is a song that sent me as I drew this and strangely enough I thought it kind of suited the pic, thanks Kiera. ^.^ It's such a beautiful song, even if the melody is rather sad and so are the translations to this song in english.
Art, characters (C) Moonlight-Echidna 2007

This just gives off a happy feel
Nice work!

Creativity FTW
There's a difference of both appearance and personality. That much is clear. I get the impression of a circle with those wings being places like that. Yin and Yang; Light and Dark.
Nove seems to be the somewhat energetic type while DN is one for apathy. That's what it looks like to me

And so you are very observant and precise, yes, the picture was slightly based off Ying and Yang, and originally I was going to go for a design. I ended up using that concept in one for a good friend, but I kept this one on the same subject.
Indeed, Nova's personality differs alot from Specimen #93, as it seems through 50% of inherited DNA, Dark Nova didn't record a trace of positive data, but what seemed to be negative data.

I still remember the story.
Observant. Yes, I tend to make such comments like that. They're way better than one-word ones, right?
So we all have some story for our characters. They can be inspired, original and in some cases down-right messed up. I got one of those moments where I baffled myself with one of my own character quotes.
"Saracos: With our sight we ask: Does the sun shine. The light moves. The light. It travels. Sibling of the kin⦠perceive capacity⦠Light."
I forgot what he really wanted to say and... you know the rest

Good good. x3
and yes, it is. It also shows a thorough understanding, so you must have an artistic mind.
Yes, without the background and story, you would not know your own character's true personality and intentions. That's what's so fun about having them, you can be imaginative and end up with mind-blowing storylines if you really try at it.
x3 Hehe.

I remember having it in my notes somewhere. That's good. Then I won't have to type the whole thing again. XP

Absolutely brilliant piece here Moonie!~ The colouring and lineart is so smooth and greatly worked on. And I love how the BG turns light to dark, it's very pretty <3 :3
Can I ask what program you use? xDD;

I love how Dark Nova or Avon(I think it was) isn't just a copy of Nova that's evil. It's also great how she isn't just the opposite of Nova to make the evil character. For an antagonist like this, you really did a great job with it.

Yep, Nova backwards XD Scientifically known as Specimen #93, but obviously it's just easier for the others to refer to her as the dark version as one of the main protagonists.
Thank you! ^.^

*is actually drawing out a body reference for Dark Nova/Avon/Specimen #93 as she types this XD*

Nova: <3 Yay! and me likes that nickname.

We'll have to do an art trade sometime, or you'll have to let me draw Vio, she's a fun character to draw and I haven't in ages!

Very cool piccy! I like the design of Dark Nova! Along with the colors & background! Along with the poses! Keep up the good work with your art!

Thanks! Ehe, she's basically a recolour of Nova, with eyeshadow and half-robot body (though the majority of her robot half is under her clothing)
Thank you as always!

This looks really awesome! ^O^
I love the idea of her being a half clone =3 reminds me of rena and her clone x33 and the colouring looks awesome on them both, especially with the eyes, they look really shiney! <333
Awesome pic!
