Hey everyone!^^Wow… it really took quite some time and work, but I finally finished this drawing of Luna, my favourite princess and Nightmare Moon, one of my favourite villains. They´re both sooo epic, I came up with this idea because of Luna´s mysterious and beautiful character, which has a lot of potential and magic… I like villains in General, so an evil Luna with an understandable attitue is even more amazing and special to draw. The story of the princess of the night really interests and touches me, so I wanted to draw her vainly trying to escape her inner darker side, her horrible past… This evil, monstrous creature still holds her back and sleeps within her, haunting her to become more powerful, to gain power.
On her journey to flee, Luna suddenly feels some kind of magic on her face, wing and horn… she turns back again… That´s why she has darker parts here and there and her eyes have another shape, just like her teeth, these dangerous fangs…
I had lots of motivation to draw this image, it really was something I created with inspiration, happiness and joy. Besides, the streams I had while drawing it were even more fun^^ Music, I listened to while working on it, Especially colouring the eyes was sooo much fun, I totally enjoyed it and I´m pleased with how they turned out, just like the tears. What I am most proud of, though, are the lightning bolts… I NEVER drew them that realistic, I always had problems with those things, combined with clouds. I´m so happy how they turned out^^
In general, I think the work was worth it, it totally was in my opinion. That´s what I create with an epic idea, motivation and under special circumstances^^
Btw thanks to EVERYONE who joined my streams while working on this piece :D It really was lots of fun, joy and inspiring, I felt so honoured :)
I hope, you like it^^ Looking forward to your feedback :)
