Look at those rolling hills e.deviantart.net/emoticons/o/o… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="555" title="Oh Noes!"/> They actually look like they're rolling! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="577" title="La la la la"/>

Looks to me like you did a good job of capturing what the opening scene to the latest season was displaying e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/m… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="578" title="Meow :3"/> Though, you've given it a much broader and more beautiful landscape. One could even say this may have been a scene prior to the premiere. Coach Rainbow Butt has surely had more practices with Twiacorn before now, after all e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

What I particularly think you did well here is the wings. Wings can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but they look very realistic on all three ponies, one of whom has them folded down, too. Expressions are very nice, as well. You can practically hear Dash loudly tossing out her vices and critique on how Twilight's doing, how she can do better, and how Twilight is about ready to flop over from fatigue.

The only other thing I'd mention is that, the tree's upper canopy and Dash overlap a little. Now, there's absolutely nothing 'bad' about that obviously, she's in the background and it's in the foreground with Fluttershy, but it does bring up a point of encouragement about depth in artwork e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/> I believe your pieces could highly benefit from further use of shadows and other techniques to enhance the visual depth of scenes like this one, where there's a foreground (The Tree and the Tree e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/g… " width="17" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="100" title="Giggle"/>), a middle ground (Dash and Twilight), and the far background of the rocks, Canterlot and hills.

Taking a look at your gallery, I notice a few pieces where you've noticeably done just that (such as this), so yayz on that, and certainly keep it up; this is just my observational suggestion from this piece alone e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

All in all, it's very cute very bright, very eye-catching and very relaxing. Keep up the good work e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="60" title="Clap"/>

This is still my favorite of yours. The way you made those rocks shiny is just so beautiful. My favorite part of the picture are those rocks. Oh and the waterfall you drew coming out of it. I also love the way you accented the curvature of the rolling hills to give it a nice shiny effect.

I like your art style, but the picture is pretty pointless and unoriginal.

Thanks, but it wasn't my idea. It was an art trade, so I did what the person I was trading with wanted. hope that explains

it is awesome, only thing I am bothered by is twilights horn is a tad misplaced, but other than that it is a very original style, and a very cute scenery ^^

Until the season premiere I had never pegged Rainbow as the teacher archetype.  Guess I know better now.

Practice flapping wings with finess & care
Soon you'll be graceful enough to look like you're walking on air

as someone already said, love the expressions on their faces. You've really captured each characters personality and current feelings and emotions in this one ^^ And nice to see Canterlot far away in the background too

Yeah I can imagine that.. quite small rooftops and other tiny details, so I understand why it was hard, but it turned out nice in the end anyway ^^

Kokirikid07 [2013-12-13 16:31:48 +0000 UTC]

Love the background and their expressions specially Twilight's. Fluttershy is the best moral support. I'd imagine Dash being all its not as hard it looks.
