Doodle a day #22, Nightmare Moon.

I was a bit underwhelmed with this character in the pilot episodes. Sure, she was a threat, but aside from a few illusions and traps, how big of one was she, really? I mean, besides the whole imprisoning Celestia in the moon and bringing eternal night part.

However, I VERY much enjoyed her return in the Season 5 finale. Even with limited time, they fleshed her out nicely. Was she truly a tyrant? It didn’t seem so. Just a powerful ruler that expected absolute respect of her subjects, and absolute control of her domain. Out of all the alternate futures, hers I would have minded the least. I’m sure she found a solution to the crop problem. How do you grow food without sunlight?

I decided to give the big bad of Season 1 a little more effort than some of the others. My hand is actually cramping a bit as I type this. Worth it, I think.
