Description Nordlys = Northern Lights in Norwegian  

Used both sai and ps. Also used some photos (taken by me ofc) and mixed them with drawings. That was really fun!

Damn, when I saw that title I instantly put it into my favourites. Nordlys also mean northern lights on danish, so I fell in love. Plus the picture is really gorgeous, good job <3

You have no idea how much i love this
my OC is named Sky Aurora and she was named after the Borealis lights. 
in a rough story of her background, a guard told luna that she was drawing and ruining her night so she banished Sky to the stars
i feel like this piece. this beautiful piece captures her looking at the sky at night and realizing that Sky was making her nights more beautiful.
I truly love this piece and i look forward to your future artworks! ^_^

Breathtaking! I love northern lights a whole lot (in part thanks to Skyrim), so I love this very much ^.^

Hehe, thank you. I also really love it. I actually saw it IRL for the first time last year, and it was amazing!

Oh wow so pretty! i don't usually go for MLP art but this is very well done. Luna's mane is especially epic.

Constructive criticism: next time paint over the photo manipulations a bit more to smooth the affect, so that it isn't quite as jarring between the painted and photo scenes I think it still has a bit too much detail and hard edging to totally blend. Just some advice!

Thank you ^^

Got it! This was my first time trying to blend drawing with photography, so criticism is appreciated.

Luna: Beautiful, yet regrettably degrading to transpolar HF communications circuits.

Cadance: What did she just say?

Twilight: Radios will not work all over Equestria for quite some time!

I got to see it back when I lived in England(That's where my dad says we saw it). It's the only thing I remember about living there since we moved away when I was very young.

I saw the northern light in Norway. I was on a school trip and me and a few friends decided to go out at night to take pictures of the stars, and then we was met with this mesmerizing light. That was really exciting. And since we had cameras with us we got to capture it on photo

That's really cool! It must have been amazing to see that in person. What colors did you get to see?

Nekiw In reply to YourFriendlyReviewer [2016-12-05 04:06:51 +0000 UTC]

Only the green with a little hint of blue. But I like the combination of green and and pink/purple better.
