Something Unforeseen
Fics
Hey there, Ember Moon.
The title and prompt make this piece more powerful than any one part of the visuals themselves.

That glitter is going to get all over everything and never go away.
I'm not really sure what's going on along the edges where the mane seems to just stop, but that's a minor nitpick for a great piece.

I thought that it was a cloak, which gave me a kinda fortune-teller or shamanistic vibe.
In any case, this is a very beautiful piece. The stars in her mane look pretty but don't detract from the power in her eyes. I can't stop looking at it haha

I think, in terms of raw artistic quality, this is the best piece I've seen on the Writeoff yet. Not that my exposure is 100%, but still. Damn. The details in Luna's eyes are beautiful and striking. It looks like the sun reflected in her eyes, but there are also stars in there, so I'm deeply curious about exactly what it is she's looking at. Which, upon further thought, plays perfectly into the title.
Special shout-out to the quality of her mane. You captured it's ethereal character in still image.

This picture is the one that inspired the story I couldn't finish in time. Spoilers for that story or whatever.
Seeing a cloaked Luna with a powerful expression reminded me of the Spirit of Hearth's Warming Yet to come, so I decided to write the story of the spirit learning to love the holiday and then seeing it ruined by windigos.
To the artist, when the contest is over, is it okay if I use this as the coverart for the story? If not that's totally fine, I just love this image :raritystarry:

Thank-you!

With this piece, I wanted to think of something fitting considering that this was something that should be properly named. I definitely contemplated a lot, but I was satisfied in the end.

Phfffff, definitely never such a thing as too much glitter. And the edges are indeed part of a cloak.

Yeah, when I first thought I finished this it was lovely and all that, but I thought it was missing something. After staring at it for like half an hour later, I came to the conclusion that the eyes needed to be more striking. I mean, to me, the Princess of the Night's eyes should look ethereal like her mane, but somewhat more powerful, I think. Like the reflection of her soul.
Thank-you!

Your review actually made me blush, a lot. Thank you! I haven't been using my abilities to their full capabilities lately since I was so busy this year that I didn't have time to make art. Than I felt like my skills were rusty for weeks when I finally had the time. It didn't help that I felt that my art seemed to look wrong to me lately.
Besides that, I wanted to make something that conveys a sense of story that makes people wonder what was happening and if there’s a story to it. I think inspiration finally hit along the line, and this was the result. I was really excited when I posted this to see other people's reactions. But then became anxious and wondered if I went overboard, if it was too much. Funny that I became a nervous wreck afterwards when no one said anything about this piece for a couple of days.
Also I’m honestly horrible at coming up with names, but for this one I was set on finding the most fitting name as possible no matter how bad my naming skills were. ’Something Unforeseen’ was really a filler name at first. I looked at a Thesaurus for ideas then it turned into random search for inspirational quotes online. I even went as far as to ask my younger brother at some point. Nothing came to mind. ’Something Unforeseen’ just stuck after that when I realized it already was a fitting title.
And my personal favorite part of any art piece that I ever done is the mane/hair. I don't know why, but I find it's the most enjoyable part to do. It's additionally therapeutic to me for some weird reason.

Well, I made this piece specifically for this WriteOff competition, so I don't see why not. Plus, I actually feel flattered that anyone would consider using my art as coverart at all. But I suggest to use the one I posted on DeviantArt since that would be a better image quality. Here's the link to it.
