Dump for one of my newest Next Gen children, Prince Nocturne!

Prince Nocturne is the eldest son of Princess Luna and Lord Sombra, and the crowned heir to take his mother’s spot when she no longer can rule.  Silent and stoic, Nocturne only speaks when he feels the necessity to–often his words are profound.  However, the fuse of his temper is short and he’s easily angered if provoked–and if provoked enough he may wield the dark magic he’s atoned to due to his father.

I drew these early on in the year but they’re some of my favorite pieces :)

(From Reflections #19)

I love this part. :D

A: One of the things I always enjoyed about King Sombra (as a villain) is that he’s genre-savvy. That trait carried over to Mirror Sombra, tenfold. He doesn’t trust Mirror Celestia and knows very well what she’s clearly planning if he accepts her offer. It’s a very typical villain tactic, to hit where it hurts, but he doesn’t fall into it. I just love how he responds with “Of course”, like it’s the very obvious answer. And it is! Plus, his facial expression is just perfect. XD It’s hilarious because of how serious it is. Like, “You seriously think I would agree to that obviously evil plan?”

This was one of my favourite moments in the entire Reflections comic. For one thing, it makes me laugh. Celestia doing a spit-take, Sombra just wiping his face like nothing happened, Starswirl being a goofball, and of course… the freaking doofus thought bubble! Combined with her facehoofing, it makes me laugh every time I see it.

Plus, it’s so cute. It’s the very start of Sombra and Celestia’s bond, and it works really nicely.  He’s flirting with her and she’s very flattered by it, hence the reason she did a spit-take. XD Her shy, sweet smile and his tender eyes are just… d’awww, they say it all! <3
