More human ponies yeaaahhhhhhh

***EDIT*** Since this picture has been getting a lot of attention (some of it negative), I'd just like to add something here. From now on, any stupid comments about race/color are going to be deleted. My personal version of Luna is African-American; if you don't personally see her that way, that's fine, but DO NOT tell me that she isn't allowed to be black. Do not tell me that it doesn't make sense for her to be black because she isn't in the sunlight. Black people do not have to tan to be black, if you somehow weren't aware of that fact already. And do not tell me that Celestia and Luna can't be sisters if they're not from the same race. Any and all derogatory or otherwise idiotic comments about race and color are not welcome on my pictures at any time.

On a nicer note, thank you to everyone who's supported me, favorited/liked the picture, and has been kind/non-offensive in their comments. :)

Argh, not to sound racist or anything but in all honesty shouldn't the colours be reversed? I mean the reason African people are, well... black, is because of the adaptation to intense sun rays. You tan in the sun. Likewise, when you're in the dark for a long time, say being sheltered in long winters, you pale to get as much sunlight as possible, hence why europeans are so fucking peachy, especially as you go North.

Then again they're fucking magic, so fuck it! I dunno, I got my headcannon. Otherwise beautiful pic.

People whining about the race for those reasons are silly. Imo, I would see Celestia as darker-skinned (who stays that pale in the sunlight?) and Luna as paler(like most nocturnal folk), but I think your depictions are beautiful nonetheless. <3

I think she looks great with both white and black skin, she could be either and I love both :heart: I love this picture

Personally I love Luna more with dark skin, as I (for some reason) have always pictured her with that. I think it's because her base colors are just overall a lot darker than Celestia's.

Anyway, lovely drawing of the two :heart:

Oooh I love this! I adore the idea of dark-skinned Luna, and RP her with such an FC, so I'm always glad to see people drawing her like that :D It's nearly exactly how I picture her! Awesome job!

Oh my god this is sooo beautiful! It was as if you went into my mind and took what I saw and actually drew it! Seriously, this is exactly what I thought if Luna and Celestia were humans!
