Description:
At Flüüfff 2019 I commissioned two artists to draw Moon Flower. It was the first time ever I commissioned someone. They had much freedom, I gave references in form of pictures and general notes about the character. Background and pose were left unspecified.
This one is by Adlynh a.k.a. Yulynh. Even though I made clear that Moon has no cutie mark, I gave in and said that they could draw the logo. Unfortunately it turned out wrong as it has one petal too much, which bothers me quite some.
As a side note, in my imagination Moon is supposed to look more or less androgynous (the notes said hermaphrodite), in this drawing it turned out rather feminine.
Overall the picture is well done. I like how the body and hair shapes turned out. The warm smile was unexpected considering Moon’s character. I especially like the pose, in particular the legs because this is close to how a horse actually bends them when sitting/lying rather than how most artists draw them which lets me think of broken legs.
Unfortunately and as expected, the colours are a bit off due to the scanner. Especially the mid tones of grey are all too blueish, and the flowers too pink instead of a bit towards salmon.
