One of my favorite things to do with a face is create tons of contours. Actual anatomy obviously does not often contain this many crevices, turns, and almost dimple like effects as I enjoy applying, and to be honest...this is actually toned down A LOT from what I first had as I worked this.





The background of her mane is done with a Photoshop made glittery-star background I made a long time ago, modified some. I considered making this a Luna portrait and leaving the stars in her eyes too - which looked cool imo, but I was already taking the Celestia route and decided I'd stick with it.





Yes the eyes are obviously very abstract, I felt like playing around with reflections and colors would look more fun than trying to make realistic eyes.







Just felt like doodling a quasi-real Celestia today and playing around with a face. I hope she doesn't horrify you too much.
