Description
*Awoke from deep slumber**Yawn*
...great to be back.
Heya! It's been quite some time since my last upload on dA, hasn't it? Nope, I wasn't being lazy or any of that sort (maaybee). I was busy spending the last 2 months focusing my time on my final semester, so I didn't really have the chance to start a new piece.
Anyhow, last week was my final papers, which means I now finally have the time to get back to painting. It's going to take some time for me to get use to it again though...
Starting commissions soon. Check the front page for updates
(Wow Aeron, is that all you have to say to your awesome watchers after being gone for this long? Bad Aeron...)

Nothing says harmony like warm and cool colours combined. I think I might stick to this colour references for sometimes, maybe as a study, if you will.

This is just wonderful! Very simple but so beautiful! I love your shading style in this picture, it is really simple and just so awsome and I also love the light. I love Derpy's hair, it is so simple and cool! So lets talk about the background... Omg! The background is absolutely best in this picture! The birds in the background, and of course, the amazing clouds! They're just so beautiful! I love how they turning, like a spiral! Wow, I really like your style when it comes to doing clouds! I love this amazing art, keep up the good work!

Ah, I'm so happy I can find these BEAUTIFUL art in DeviantArt. I love this work, the clouds are amazing and Derpy is cute and beautiful at the same time. I absolutely love it! You will have my favorite. This is absolutely wonderful! The birds,Derpy's wings...Her eyes shine and sparkle...I really like her mane! (LOL) Just so you know, I really really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY like it! It's so absolutely absolutely W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L!!!!!! Yey! The lighting is perfect an know what? Derpy is my second favorite character right now. Vinyl Scratch is best. But still this is loovelyyyy!

I think that you have accomplished a wonderful feat here. I know I'm not much of an artist, and that this is my first critique, but I feel that this work is by far one of the best I have seen. The technicality of the clouds, the wake left behind from an unknown source (perhaps another pegasus passing through at high velocity and zooming past Derpy, I'm not sure) is pretty spot on. I also like the lighting effect behind derpy. Not only does it accent her hair's color, but it shows that there are sometimes breaks in the clouds where the sunlight passes through and, due to the implied high elevation, allows for the said effect easily. The background, like where the little birds are, shows that it is, in fact, still during the day. I personally think the brush style is unique and should be used by artists who know how to use it, much like AeronJVL has done. The perspective (and slight chiaroscuro touch with the central tube versus the surrounding clouds) is refreshing and wonderfully accomplished. Attention to detail has obviously been taken into consideration and pulled off well. Congratulations on a job well done.

Let me begin with: this is a very fantastic piece. The painting job is wonderful and something I would like to get up to. I need to practice more in that regard.
Per the mechanics of the piece itself I can't find anything wrong to my eye. Visually we're cleanly focused on Derpy and the use of warm colors against the blue and dark background really helps to focus viewer attention to our favorite blonde-maned, yellow eyed Pegasus.
And even with the subject matter set off to the side balance is kept. There is enough going on off to the side and the rest of the piece as a whole that it doesn't leave me feeling it is oddly skewed, or wanting more in that regard.
I also like how you did the clouds. And might I ask: actually painted in or were stocks used?
Per the originality though I'm tempted to say that I've seen a number of pieces like this before. Though provided being fan art I can excuse it; all if not many who will be viewing this would be doing MLP art themselves. And given a pony in a magical, fantasy plane-scape is in-of itself a popular subject.

The clouds are painted with default Photoshop brushes, and some custom ones.
No image stocks were used.

Heavenly brush strokes my friend!
why does it seem that the brony artists are always the most skilled?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Because we are inspired by friendship :3

Yeah, makes sense now. Friendship is more than magic you know.

Wow, this sky you painted has a real classical renaissance feel to it! So much for those who say Pony art isn't real art, or whatever they think up to put it down.
Love it, love it, love it!!!
