One of my favorite animating pairs, DuoCartoonist, has finally released their much awaited animation "The Moon Rises"! If you feel you may recognize the name, their previous hit was "Children of the Night".
The animation is about Princess Luna and her decent into madness as her jealousy transforms her into Nightmare Moon. I've been following the process of it for months and I've been very anxious to see it completed. I know the Luna / NMM is a subject often explored, but I can't get enough of it. Especially when people can make things like this out of it!

There are some hiccups, and it doesn't have all the same fierceness as the animatic did (especially with Luna ascending the stairs to the throne). Also, the ponies have their own style rather than just being G4 models, which is really nice. I know working on animating that hair must have driven them mad.
Just wanted to share because I haven't seen it posted here yet. It's quite a sight!
