Well guys, ask and ye shall...oh, who am I kidding. I've been itching to draw her since forever. XD
Anyway, this is, hands-down, the most Photoshopped painting I've ever done. But there's Luna in it, so I guess it's worth the effort.
It's no surprise that I went through a whole bunch of tutorials and references to get it right, though; a big thank-you goes to *
Ric-M for this comic which inspired me to shade Luna the way I did:

That's not a pet peeve of mine at all.
This is an excellent portrait of Luna; the reflection is nicely done, but it's really Luna herself and her moon that make this drawing special. I'd have to say my favorite part of the drawing is her mane and tail, specifically how they seem to contain part of the night sky within them. (It's kinda hard to explain in more detail, but they don't merely look like the night sky so much as the sky itself seems to be within them.) Thanks for sharing!
What I also love is the night scene, it works so well and uniformly with Luna (obviously xD) and dark color schemes like this are one of my favorites.
Again very nice, the reflection/ripple effects and the moon look great too
