(ogod the feathers why do I keep doing this to myself)

I’ve got a lot of ideas for these two. Too many to really show in a single picture. I’d like to do a sketch dump at some point, showing some of them. For example, NMM’s wings are bioluminescent. The iridescent colored splotches on the undersides can flash and pulse, varying in brightness from almost invisible to what you see now. She’s currently in full threat display, with the colors at their brightest. Likewise, Daybreaker would normally hold her semi-solid, fiery peacock tail back in a neutral position. ( the way I portrayed Celestia’s in her headcanon.) When she has it fully fanned, as it is now, it resembles an explosion in progress.
