Request: Sonata Eos

Description

This was a request for an old friend, :iconsaramoon23: . I asked her if she would mind me making her into a ponysona. She was more than happy to allow me to draw her. So from there, I grew on what to make her pony like. Here's a small bio of her pony since I feel it's a bit needed when I got this idea last night:

"Sonata Eos, or just Sonata to her friends, is a pegasus pony from Canterlot. She has always loved both music and the night sky. She often would soar just a few hours before the Celestia was to rise the sun to sing beautiful music before the dawn. She loves the time before the dawn and her singing pleases Luna, Celestia and all those who are awake to hear her soothing voice."

This is what I get when I listen to Sigur Rós before sleeping. And for those of you who are wondering, sonata is from the Latin and Italian word sonare, "to sound", and eos is in Greek mythology, is the Titan goddess of the dawn (eos means "dawn"). It also should be noted that Sara and I had some issues figuring out what music I was going to listen to, and I do apologize, and I do hope she will listen to the music I did select to listen to since I believe they work very well.

Wow. Color. Not bad I say, but it took a bit longer than I had hoped to make it look good. In all fairness, I wasn't expecting to color Sonata, but I had this great idea for color palette, so I just had to. Maybe this means I'll start coloring? Who knows. One step at a time.

Sonata Eos belongs to :iconsaramoon23:
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made for television by Lauren Faust :iconfyre-flye:

The songs that I listened to while drawing this:

"Hot Like Fire" by The xx (Aaliyah cover)
"Window" by The Album Leaf
"Viðrar vel til loftárása [Good Weather for an Airstrike]" by Sigur Rós
"Stop The Dams" by Gorillaz

Good work on this. :)

Quick tip for GIMP: when you save a .jpg/.jpeg, it's best to always save at 100% quality to avoid artifacts. Any less and you'll probably get a noticable amount. I don't save .png files often, so I don't know what compression is the best. 0 will get you no artifacts at all, but the file size will be massive.
