Ah nevermind, Celestia cries because of her sister. That image is before twilight fought Nightmare moon and turned her back into Luna.

Yes that is exactly what it is about.

Well, at least thats better then the rabid bronies who say Celestia is a dictator and loves sending people to the moon for even minor offenses

Mmm, yeah... I mean the joke is kinda funny in itself, but it doesn't give her the respect and love she deserves.

Aw, she misses Luna...

I always thought that Celestia probably had it hard too during the long years that Luna was gone.
(I'm a Celestia fan what can I say?) XP

Ohhh, well that'll be quite impressive when it's finished, I dig the focus on Celestia's feelings, perfectly communicates the regrets that the show kinda glossed over.

Thank you very much. 8D I was always very interested in that story, all the "untold" extended universe stuff. Oh well, I guess it's the teritory of fan spoeculation and fiction.

Indeed, there is a lot left unexplained... probably because in-universe mythology isn't a priority most of the time.

Yeeeaaaaah, that is true. But it's that kind of stuff where you can extrapolate a lot.

Of course you end up a bit red-faced if info revealed later contradicts your theories.

You think so? Hmm... Can you elaborate?

... Sonovabitch... Thanks for pointing that out... That's what I get for not knowing how to draw this sort of anatomy... Dammit. >__> Oh well, I can't fix it anymore, but I have to keep an eye for that in the future...

To elaborate further you have Celestia bending what is anatomically equivalent to her ankle like a knee, and the only way that can happen is if her legs were badly broken.

A quick Googling finds http://foreverhorses.blogspot.co.uk.....e-hindleg.html which seems like a decent reference if you don't want to go into great depth (MLPony anatomy is considerably more flexible than Earthly equines anyway)

Yeeeaaah, I noticed that after it was pointed out... that's what I get for being too used to human-like jointing. >___>
Thanks for the ref, hopefully I can get it right next time. Let's just assume that Celestia's special powers allow for her to be double-jointed... (Or made of rubber) XD ^^;;;

this looks oddly sad...

That's kind of what I'm going for with it. 8D

you're doin' a good job then.

Thank yah. 8D

of course dood.

I've always wondered if Celestia knew Twilight was going to be the one to free and cure her sister....

I kind of have that feeling she diiiiid. 8D

I believe I can already guess the concept.

Also; little Twilight is so cute!!! ^^

Ahahah, It's not THAT complicated. XD

Little filly Twi is best Twi. 8D

Poor Celestia; as hard as the whole banishing was for Luna, it must also have been incredibly hard for her. Having to resort to such drastic measures, confine your own sister (transformed into a nightmare) in such a cold and desolate place, with nothing more than the hope that she might be released when a millenium has passed... yeah, that's enough to make you cry alright.

Definitely looking forward to the finished version. I already love what you did with Celestia's anatomy, too, her muscles (e.g. on her neck) and all that. And Twily is just so cute, curled up like that and sleeping peacefully.

That is what I feel as well, and I always wanted there to be more stuff on that storyline. But hey, we cn't expect that kind of thing now can we?

Thanks, I will try to do my best with it. ^w^ I love d rawing that neck area with the muscles and so on. It's very elegant looking.
And yeah, Twi is always so cuuuute! Especially when she was little. <3

Looks beautiful so far :>

Thank ya very much. 8D

I must be crazy but looking at her eyes it looked to me like a bird was crawling out of her eye i mean the dot looked like a eyes and her tear duct like a beak.

Know im wrong and all but ugh keep thinking of that when i look at her eyes now, the finished version will be awesome im sure.

And would be hard not to miss the only person close to you that you would not need to watch slowly get old and wither away

.... Now that you mentioned that, I can't unsee it either! D8

I'm sure colour will fix that. XD

I know man, It's the only family she has too. 8D

what has been seen cannot be unseen

at least she got filly Twilight to take care of to forget the pain for a while.
