I said in the Celestia portrait that I’ve been in a royal-drawing mood lately. Well, now we’re getting religious on this; why not a little Christian Art tradition (the bright halo) for the OC of the creator of the show?
 
WE’VE ALL BEEN BLIND, AAAAH!
 
I enjoyed doing this; first off, it gave me a wonderful excuse to use a different lighting other than straight from the front. I winged the exact draw 80%, then went back and added more precise details from a reference picture.
 
Second, I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again; I’m a sucker for white coats. That plus the fact that drawing a non-canon (or are we going to literally canonize Faust here?) pony felt cathartic in some sense.
 
Third and last point: CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME.
 
Tau and Celestia. Both are alicorns. Both have white coats. Both have some sort of connection to the sun. Celestia is more or less in-universe worshipped and treated as a physical goddess. What if Tau Sunflare is Celestia wearing a wig?  
Sanity is Overrated WE’VE ALL BEEN BLIND, AAAAH!Sanity is Overrated
 
 
I get the sudden premonition that someone will complain. The funny part is that I’m not even Christian; I’m just an college art student who’s been flooded with religious art this past semester, most of it Christian in some manner.
