'My Dear Subjects'

"I present to you your Princess of the Night, Luna."
Luna's formal introduction to the Court of Canterlot. She's been away for a thousand years and her landing wasn't well accepted, so she's naturally a little nervous. Celestia knows she'll be fine.

I intended their dresses to be styled after a phoenix and an aurora, respectively. I wasn't too happy with how the feathers came out with Celestia, color-wise, so I recolored them to tie in closer with her overall scheme. The original's over in my scraps [link]
Damn, Luna's hair was fun. I like her expression, but when compared to Celestia's smooth as silk expression and lowered eyelid, I wonder if I drew her eye too large.
