Another piece inspired by Sharaloth’s Harmony Theory. Nightmare Umbra, also known as The Shadowed Alicorn, The Gray Mare, or The Destroyer, is said to draw her power from the ongoing animosity between the Lunar Republics and Solar Kingdom. She strikes with terrifying force, conjuring a black flame that quickly engulfs any living creature it touches. The ashes of its victims return to The Destroyer, where they become a part of her. Truly an existential threat to ponykind, Umbra has been regaining her strength since the Schism, appearing mysteriously from time to time to smite select targets.
 
–Art Notes–  
I used a pose and overall composition similar to my favorite drawing by Ruhje, Deliver Us. Like Ruhje’s piece, I tried to use two colors (more or less) exclusively throughout the work. Personally, I find that drawings with such a limited range of colors have a stronger mood and a more “unified” feel to them.
 
Time for me to go read more of the latest chapter!
