scavs for some folks in the rain world discord server! they have a sort of art fight-esque event going on at the moment, and i figured it'd be a good opportunity to practice drawing more scavs :]
this was also a new, experimental technique for me—another thing i've been meaning to practice more with is combining traditional & digital mediums. i sketched & lined these on paper, then blocked them in with copics for an underpainting layer. then i took 'em into sai and painted the rest of the colors in on top (and used some weird blending mode shenanigans to ensure the lineart stayed visible). it was weird to figure out but i really like the result! i think the two on the right suffered a little from their copic colors being too similar to the final palettes, but now i know for next time
original photo before any digital painting/editing is under the cut, if you're curious!

Luna full-body reference, with Celestia for comparison.
And original designs for comparison and design notes under the cut:
Tulli worked with me a bit more on Luna. We decided to have her in a regency era dress, which matches the period of time that she was banished during (the 1820s); in stark contrast is Celestia's more modern art deco dress from the 1920s. Also in contrasts: Celestia is structured and rigid with bold lines while Luna is flowing and organic with flowers and rounded laces. Regency dresses are very youthful-looking without a lot of frills and stiff parts, while still remaining very regal and elegant. Her dark fabrics have, Epiphyllum oxypetalums, or "Princesses of the Night," embroidered on them. Her color palette was given a more cool tone to match her original design's palette.
Within the story of the AU, after returning to Canterlot, Luna cuts her hair (the source of a witch's power) short to temper herself. She wears a blue veil meant to look like her show version's hair to cover Nightmare Moon's face, which is always silhouetted in the back of her hair. The blotch on her left breast is meant to reference her cutie mark. Probably a scar from her banishment.
