Damn, this context makes it so much better.

BEST PRINCESS

Now their needs to be a pic where Luna is about to do the same thing.

Yo, Zeb–
 
This should definitely have the daybreaker and transformation tags. Here’s Celestia’s gorget:  

 
Now here’s Daybreaker’s gorget:  

 
Look familiar? She is most certainly in the process of turning into Daybreaker, she even has the little wing leading edge armor starting to form.

@Drefsab  
Same here! Best Princess (not Daybreaker)

I love a good Best Princess pic

This art is too good

Now this is a feature I can get behind. A+.

my god I love this

@Litrojia  
They are quite a bit different… it’s like Bugplayer and ncmares… their style is quite a bit different but at first glance you could get them confused

@Rainboom Dash  
@Oliver peck  
I really don’t see the resemblance. They draw tears the same, but otherwise I think their pictures have completely different feels to them. I’ve seen much closer art styles before.

this is now the kind of art that needs a artist signature, it’s easily confused with assassinmonkey, so ether this is him, or someone inspired so much by him that ended up adopting his style

The Fires of Purity.

no surprise to see this Featured.

Because she’s transforming into daybreaker by being set on fire

Looks great, blur might be a bit too intense though.
