I’m currently working on the visual development of another original game concept for one of my final projects, and I decided to take a quick break so I whipped this up. I haven’t drawn young Luna or Celestia before, so here’s young Luna, as she was seen in Season 1! ^.I of course took some liberties with her design so it can fit my headcanon. Luna here has been freed from the Nightmare’s influence for a couple of months, and her body is undergoing a rapid change in order to try and “catch up”, as it were, to the magical growth Celestia had already experienced so many long centuries ago. This is the first of many (she’s essentially going through a secondary puberty) magical spurts, where her physical appearance begins to take on a more ethereal look. She’s only just at the beginning of the spurt though, hence why her coat hasn’t darkened and her mane and tail hasn’t lengthened yet. It’s also why her hair and wings aren’t reflecting the night sky as vividly as they do when she eventually reaches her peak, but there is still the beginnings of twinkling stars and gradients. C:This was a bunch of fun to do, and so sketchy! I may try drawing a young Celestia next. O:
