Request: Nightmare Aurora Moon (Anthro version)

Description

OK, bear with me for a little bit.

This is a request that someone made me a few months ago in my Livestream, and that I had to keep on the shelf for a while on account of being busy performing other tasks with higher priority. I am a man of my word, so once I accepted it, it was going to be made. However, I didn't expect for it to force me to bend the laws of physics and anatomy so hard with the pair of humongous bazongas that the requester solicited for his character.

I must say that I would never draw a character this way by my own volition. I initially had doubts about whether I would be able to fit those massive globes into a proportional torso. I guess I did it, but I'm really not in a hurry to try it again.

Practically everything in this piece was mandated, from the exact pose to the boob size and the hair length and whatnot. On the one hand, it's a bit relaxing to know that the hard decisions of designing and illustrating are out of my hands, but on the other hand, it turns the whole task into a mechanical application of my drawing skills, with only the relief of knowing that there is some challenge in something that I hadn't yet tried to do. For instance, it was interesting to work on a character with such a dark palette, since that places a challenge when the time comes to do the shading.

Besides that, there's the issue of being compelled to execute a piece with design choices so contrary to my own nature. I like making the things I do *plausible* (in a fantastic kind of way), but this just goes above and beyond that. Or maybe I'm just overthinking and overreacting on all of this? I dunno.

So there you have it, miss chronic back pain herself, Nightmare Aurora Moon. May she have sweet dreams of breast reduction surgery.

Viewing tip: for optimal viewing, this piece should be shown in full resolution, full screen and in a dark environment, to be able to perceive the shading and lighting details.

Heheh, I find it really amuzing the way you see the tipical exageration of certain atributes that people like to include in their works, that in this case was asken for you to include. 
In my oppinion I don't see any exageration the the amount of though you've placen into this work; and on the work itself, I believe that you've managed to make a grand thing with that dark pallete of colors, even if you also implemented them on the background. 

I'm wondering what you'll be up to next. It's really interesting how you can varie so much on your works.
