Distress in victory

Luna's banishment. History calls this a victory; Celestia calls it a tragedy.

This took forever, boy am I glad it's finished. I think this used more layers then any painting I've ever done. And I realized decent looking hair is neigh on impossible. I need to find some good tutorials for it soon.

So what art should I do next? I'm thinking maybe some Gravity Falls fanart. Oh or maybe How to Train Your Dragon. Hmm options...

EDIT: sta.sh/0sfolmsli7r version without the saliva if you don't like it.

EDIT2: Some one has approached me about selling this image at some brony conventions, so to make it more print worthy I have finally changed the background perspective so the whole image's perspective matches, or at least looks better. That's my intentions anyway, looks better to me.
