I’m not sure how you can make this more accurate.

Nice! :D

Doesn’t matter if Luna’s black. She knows how to GET DOWN  

WoW! Kudos to the Artist! This takes a hellalotov determination to finish a piece like this!

I wish people would stop bitching about skin color. They are keeping racism alive with their incessant whining.
 
Really, have you ever seen a completely political correct crowd with a perfectly balanced white to black to asian to whatever else ratio irl? No, that only happens on Comedy Central and cheesy commercials.
 
Stop nitpicking on stuff like a stylistic choice and turn it into something it was never intended to be.
 
I enjoy this picture. The style fits the show, the dynamic is the same and the attention to detail is marvelous.

@ngch  
ok ok but on his other pics she don’t have that much darkened skin…. it’s not even shading problem here since Celestia don’t have shaded skin even if she stand next to Luna
 
it looks stupid imho

@Background Pony
 
The artist has addressed it in this journal.

Luna is the only black in here….
 
srsly wow… >.>  
not cool  
not cool

If you look carefully, the identical-looking background humans match the identical background ponies in the original footage.
 

Even when humanized, we get background “clonies”.
 
(Or just regular clones, that is.)
