And yes, it's his OC, Apollo Heart. [link]

Ooooooooh I had SO much fun with this one. Haven't even thought about full nighttime view after my Nightmare Moon pic.
I absolutely loved working that milky way into the sky, altho it ended up being a little bit off in angle/position.

I didn't really know how am I going to make a worthy picture as I knew I couldn't really haul a lot of stuff into dark night. So I pretty much developed the whole picture in my mind while drawing it.
I also tried to really use soft & low opacity brushes to get somewhat more realistic picture.. Not quite sure if it's a good or a bad idea with ponies.

And owwwh sorry Clair, it was already too late when I realized I couldn't get the cutie mark to show in this perspective. Drawing OC without including the cutie mark was pretty absurd so I painted it as a reflection in the water.

And once again, layers, layers, layers.. Too many layers. I just can't really get out of it.

Hope you like it, Clair
