Like several shinning ducats in a murky pond, stars shone through the gaps where the thick clouds did not take up residence. They shimmered and danced, fluttered and winked. So beautiful and mesmerizing were these heavenly bodies, yet the truth of their existence, their matter, was still greatly debated, theories often hushed away from the ears of the ever listening papacy.

Created this piece yesterday. I had a lot of fun with it! Luna's hair gave me some trouble for a while but I figured out the tricked to get it to look the way I wanted eventually.

I'm getting better at backgrounds! At least I think I am. lol

Absolutely fabulous--Can hardly tear my eyes away from this pic! I love how her stylish cape (nice soft lunar/nighttime color choices for the cape and the whole scene) is slightly askew, as though she raised the moon for the night and immediately dove into her reading, hardly thinking of anything else as she became engrossed.

Well played Byron quote, too--Is Celestia on your list to receive a similarly splendid scene?
