200th Special: I Will Guard the Nightby ~DerpLight

Fan Art / Wallpaper / Movies & TV

200TH WALLPAPER SPECTACULAR!

Download for full size. The preview won't let you see the details.

Ladies and Gentlemen (or Fillies and Gentlecolts if you have an OC), here it is! My 200th pony wallpaper, with no one else but the magnificent Princess Luna! You asked for her, and now you have her!

As I said several days ago, my 200th wallpaper was drawing near. For my 100th, I did a wallpaper of the mane six ([link]), and for my 200th I did a poll asking which pony you wanted. Guess who won!

This was not easy, I tried a lot of new things: brushes, glows, overlays, clouds, shapes and whatnot. They sure were fun, I am eager to use these techniques again.

Many thanks to =EphemeralBlue and ~Bommster for some advice, and to every other wallpaper brony for just being cool, and inspirational.

Let's go with the credits, if it wasn't for these people's work, this wallpaper wouldn't exist:

*S1 Luna by ~Pazuzu54.
*S2 Luna by ~RelaxingOnTheMoon
*Nightmare Moon by ~90Sigma.

Finally, many thanks to you guys. Sometimes I may not reply to your comments, and I'm deeply sorry, but please know that I read every single one and feel thankful for your kind words.

And... I think that's it. I really hope you like this one!

I'm going to enable critiques here, if you want to take some time to give me some constructive criticsm and ways of improvement I will be very grateful!

Vision: Showing the three Cannon versions of Luna in 200th special, nailed it! I like center luna's sort of side view, really compliments the other two profiles.
Originality: Luna is the only real character you can do this with, unless you count all the other characters break downs and "Special moments" and you executed it in a way that is more than just your average.
TECHNIQUE: The big one, and let me just say their isn't a ton here , material wise. It's mostly black background WHICH makes it funner to pick out the little elements you added. The blue "Clouds" to the center left and right make it not just empty space. I like how young luna is bright, nightmare moon is sharp and very "Inside the lines" and "Regular" luna is in the middle. Very nice show!
Impact: It doesn't hit you with a wave of color or contrast, but it does make you say " This is really, really nice!"
Final thoughts: Nightmare moons expression XD

This is very good! I do love work of Princess Luna, and, being one who has probably seen over 1,000 pictures of fan art of her by now, can say you did a very good job. The white line below the characters gives the picture a great effect, and the lighting aspect is also very good. The only thing I can say would've made the picture better in my opinion is either making the characters take up more space, or putting in a background that was more than just black. Although I wouldn't make the background very complicated, as this may take attention away from the characters themselves. For the most part, I love this picture, and think it's one of the best pictures of Princess Luna I've ever seen. I hope to see more from you in the future, and see what else you come up with.

Hey! I've featured your deviation in my journal [link]

I rarely like pony art, and wallpapapers even less (which is ironic), but this, this I love. Good on you.

~UtterlyLudicrous Dec 4, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Excellent work.
The only thing I'd change is to mask out the part of S1 Luna's hair that goes below the glowing line.
Otherwise, fantastic!

~EaLicaria Oct 28, 2012

Wonderfull!!

~BoneSatellite Jun 12, 2012

That's awesome. I can't think of anything else to say, other than this (helped by the title) gives me a stirring feeling that very few pieces of artwork can.

The ever-changing faces of our lovely Luna ~
