COMMISSIONED BY *ClairLane

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 :D

i think it was a great idea to use those low opacity brushes. it really makes it stand out a bit, in a good way. and those eyes. they have perfect little detail in them.

now that i look closer at it, the milky way does look a bit off. i have to ask though, what are those tiny silhouette flying things on the horizon line above the trees?

Those small things are just bugs or other stuff like leaves flying around in the air.
