i have never drawn Nightmare Moon in color, luna I've done several times but not her more evil incarnation. It was an interesting challenge since im very against using black-for-black characters and Nightmare is just that, black. I fiddled around with her colors alot untill i found a good balance that would accept shading with little fuss.
I love this piece.
for Aramis.

I'm glad that you enjoyed working on this! I like how Nightmare Moon remains distinct from the starry night background, but still melds with it a little as befitting her status as Queen of the Night. And you captured their expressions so beautifully, too. Thanks again for a wonderful commission!
I don't think I've ever seen Nightmare Moon without her helmet, or at least not done this well. I always thought the helmet made her look bald by making a barrier between her head and her mane. That effect is still there a bit, since her mane looks more like a cloud than hair, but it really looks good when you take the pose into account. And the presence of Aramis's character makes me curious as to what these two are doing together. There's a story in their expressions. Bravo.
There is a story, if you're interested: http://aramis-dagaz.deviantart.com/.....Moon-315185925
