I was just finishing up some sewing for the day and seeing as I had a bit of extra time, decided to finish this painting. I really enjoyed the stained glass style I used in another picture before and decided to make my water colors feel loved again. Other than that, it gave me an excuse to doodle a knot design in the center, which it always fun to do. Originally I was going to have both Luna and Celestia in the picture, but I couldn’t get enough details in that I felt it would be more fun just with Discord and Celestia. Besides, as much as I ship this pairing, I don’t seem to have any pictures of them together save for my first ‘tablet practice’ comic and thought it would be a good opportunity to remedy that.
I’m extremely happy with how Celestia came out. My only disappointment with Discord is the fact he has the same smug grin I ALWAYS seem to draw him with, even though I explicitly drew a more serious expression on his face in the pencil draft. Next time, you better cooperate with the pencil plans, Mr. Pen and Paintbrush. BI
