[OLD ART] (1st Draft) Skittish Sun Goddess
Every now and again, I will finish a picture and then go "...Nah." Something wasn't right.
This was the first version of Skittish Sun Goddess: https://inkbunny.net/s/1829369 . I wanted something to show the ruler of Equestria out of her depth. Originally, I had this faded, darker, droopy effect as if her magic had be drained. While this certainly made her appear more VULNERABLE, it just didn't feel right. I didn't want a situation of Celestia without her power, I wanted Celestia frozen and flustered DESPITE her power. The grand goddess at full scale brought to stammering by her unfamiliarity to intimacy.
So this version was scrapped and the lighter, warmer version became the final post.
