There really needs to be more anthro LittlePip artwork, or just LittlePip artwork in general.

When I was expecting the request, i was hoping a little more for something like this

That's kind of really awesome...
The dynamic, off-balance pose and dutch angle are great for the energy of the piece, and while I'd be interested to hear why you used the fisheye effect, it's definitely a cool visual choice. I also notice that you pushed all the action to the sides of the piece, leaving the 'traditional' central focal point empty -- is that related?
On the downside, the gun's proportions feel a bit off to me, though. I think you were using Blackhawk as a reference, but the barrel came out a bit too long and the scope too short. The barrel also doesn't seem quite straight, even allowing for the fisheye.
The "spray paint" dirt is a little bleh, in my opinion. I think you could have put a bit more effort into the texture of the ground, and the way it's reacting to Pip's slide. I don't think I would have even noticed except for the spray of dirt where she's hitting the ground.
Also, your vault suit isn't quite correct -- the yellow stripe makes a circle with the collar coming up through the middle, rather than tracing the edge of the collar.

Thank you for the detailed critique.
I don't typically work with dynamic angles and movement in conjunction with each other. This is actually my first one on DA.Β
Add that to my struggles with backgrounds. This was a good learning experience for me.Β
I used the fisheye because I wanted to create a sense of depth and action. I actually did not think about using the fisheye specifically. I fiddled around with the building/structure, and that was the end result.Β Most of the stuff I drew was not focused on technical stuff but rather what looked good in my mind's eye, developing from a vague image to a more complete one. So I guess you could call it intuition. XD

So, we took a human series, ponified it, and then turned the ponies back into humans?

Something like that. XD

Interesting picture, but this anthro execution doesn't look good to me.Β

Can you explain in greater detail? I'd like to know so I can do better next time.Β

Well, to me, the combination of her nuzzle eyes, hand (glove) and breasts repulses me somehow.Β

I see. Well, I guess I'll try out different styles in anthro, pony, and human categories.Β

I think what Anttosik may be picking up on is Pip's hands. She's kinda got man-hands here, or at least, that's how I read them. The proportions of her finger length to width and the size of the knuckles suggests a big, beefy character, not a compact, agile one like Littlepip.

Ok, thanks. You gave me a lot to think about and reevaluate.Β

I hope you take all that with a base coat of "Celestia's mane this is awesome". It's not a detail that particularly bothered me. ^_^

The perspective here is very well executed, in all but one aspect: the gun seems to have two focus points, the butt and the barrel, which looks a little odd. That's really the only criticism, outstanding work.Β

Thanks for pointing that out. I did think something was odd but couldn't put my finger on it. ^^
