Description
Poor thing has got to have seen some terrible losses in her time.
Time: 1 hour
This one started out badly. My hand refused to function. I guess I warmed up enough during the process to make this one into something relatively decent.

I like to think that is is AFTER Sisterly Spar.Β

Yet all losses she lived through in all those years were nothing compared to the loss when she had to banish Luna.
Because for the first time in her life she didnt have somepony to rely on.
Somepony who always had her back, who understood her and always supported her.Β
The greatest loss she ever had to suffer was the one she inflected on herself. And the wound that loss left behind would not be healed for another thousand years.

ohh! this gives me an idea for a little story! Β if you dont mind reading it :3
---------
Celestia looked over the fields, no sign of live was there anymore. It was like she was back on her childhood, the creating of the world. but this time it was not created but destruction. Β Luna was gone, dad and mom , everyone was gone . And all because she did not see the proplem on time, if she only would been there for luna. If only she was on time . She layed down her axe and helmet with her magic. she looked over the burned landscape once again , admitting her failure she let down her head and began crying. Was there one way she could save equestria on her own, without her dear sister , how on earth could she appoligise to her sister if she was miles away , stuck on the moon . And that all because she was selfish and did not see the shadow she casted upon luna. " Could you ever forgive me?" she wispered quietly .

sorry if there are any spellingmistakes , english is not Β my main language

(Hope you don't mind if I budge in) Jon walks over to Celestia with agony about the battle they missed.
"Celestia, this is our mistake. But we just move forward."
Celestia drops to tears
Jon gets a radio call for something found "where is it?" Celestia looks up.
"Well, apparently we found our second chance. Let's move"

This was all done in Photoshop CS5 with a few special brushes.

hey I'm looking for software to use so I can make computer art, so do have any advice I could possible use, by the way love your art :3
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks!
And sure, I have some suggestions.Β
My highest recommendation goes to Photoshop since that's what I use 95% of the time. The newer versions are pricey BUT they're giving out the old CS2 version for free here (www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlem⦠. Or I think they still are. Photoshop, though, for all it's power and glory, doesn't have stabilizers on your brush strokes, so you'll have to adjust to working with out it and/or grab something like FireAlpaca from below.
Second would go to Manga Studio or Paint Tool SAI. I've only dabbled in the trial versions of those, but they're both pretty solid programs. Again, not cheap if gotten legally, but far cheaper than PS.Β
Third would go to Fire Alpaca (firealpaca.com/en) . I actually do use this one from time to time. It's very lightweight, so don't expect the same amount of tools as the others, but... It's completely FREE. Great for practicing and getting a feel for digital painting without dropping any cash or getting a cracked version.Β
If, however you feel like trying something closer to MLP show style, try Inkscape (www.inkscape.org/en/) It's a nice, FREE vectoring program in the same vein as the bigger Adobe Illustrator.
I hope that helps. There's others out there, but those are the ones I have some experience with.

It's a miracle that she has retained a (seemingly) healthy, cheery outlook after well over a millenium.

And this is yet another reason for I wouldn't want to be an immortal or go at war. I just don't want to know what she's thinking right now, most likely on all of the souls that she taken and even many others that were lost and she feels guilty for them.
But still, very good job.

Oh, yes. I have no doubt that, in Celestia's darkest moments, especially in the thousand years when Luna wasn't there to chase them away, her dreams are nothing but a long series of faces of friends and lovers long gone all screaming: "Murderer!" "Betrayer!" "Liar!" "Tyrant!" and other accusations at her.Β
Sometimes, I really wonder how saneΒ Celestia might be after all this time and all those dark experiences. You really capture her exhaustion, self-loathing and horror at what she's had to do, the crimes she's committed, without choice, in the name of sanity and of peace.

I've fought for harmony in a world defined by strife. Now the time has come for me to finally confront the cost of all the choices I've made in the name of Celestia. The fate of all of Equestria now rests on the outcome of one, single, impossible day... The day I've been running from all of my life... The Day of the Alicorn."

Seems decent enough to be present in today's EQD drawfriend. Yep! With your other new one. A very good reward to your pain in your hand.
I suppose this would be the following of her in armor in another piece. Yes. Poor Celestia. Losing so many ponies... so many friends... and living to remembering them. Forever.
Wonderful work

Indeed - one can only imagine what those eyes have seen, and what those hooves have had to do.
