Description On this night, we gaze up to the sky
and wonder at the stars sparkling high.
For this is the night, pristine, everlasting
The moon shines down, its rays ever casting
And henceforth, the night serenely fades away
in favor of a longer, brighter day.

I've been waiting six months to make this one. It was interesting trying to match [link] while utilizing six months of new tricks. Or maybe I just haven't developed that much. I hope that's not the case.

And so concludes the Solstice set, albeit a very small set indeed. As the heavens cycle, so shall I see you all in the new year. Have a wonderful holiday and a happy new year.

HAPPY END OF THE WORLD EVERYONE.

"The stars didn't aid in my escape after 1000 years just so I could have a two-year vacation!"

Happy New Year!

Awesome! I love the stars in the background. Some are bright while others have varying degrees of light.
The moon is awe inspiring and Luna herself is just the right shade of dark and light.

how do u do the clouds?

Esuka In reply to BronyMike [2012-12-21 20:54:39 +0000 UTC]

I have a special brush that I use for clouds and dust, and I keep the shading towards the center of the cloud. Being so loose, they don't really have cast shadows like a ball would. As for the lighting on the edge, it's a soft round brush with some erasing for shape.
