Description And then something lethal happened. The End.

Actually, this drawing is kind of a training ground for new techniques. I hope you'll like it, though.

Lol, it's a fanart based off a fanfic which is based off another fanfic ^__^

You got a really good piece with a nice original concept going on here. I really like the line play on the road and the background and scenery. Although, if I had to complain about anything, it'd be that BlackJack looks like she's getting a five o'clock shadow and her neck is weirdly long. And perspective wise, a bit like a dachshund.

Otherwise, you got a pretty interesting piece going here with a rather original concept. I'd just work on the proportions of BlackJack. If possible, it'd be wise to go in and try to shorten the body length, it appears a bit long with where everything is set up.

And that five o'clock shadow. I can't help but think someone just stole her coffee and she's pissed.

I'm sorry for a late reply. Thank you very much for your critique, it really matters to me that you spent your time and did it (:

I will try to figure out what to do with fur texture later. I actually want to switch from textureless ponies and environment to textured ones, with values created more realistic-like way. But if it looks like a five o'clock shadow, then it's probably a pretty wrong way. I think it would look better if drawn more regular, like actual coat, unlike actual beard ^__^

As for the long body, I tried to make some sort of distorted perspective. To bring in more dynamic or something like this. Perhaps I failed to make everything else fit this scheme. Or it's really just too long. I'll give more attention to this in my future drawings.

Yeah, long neck is my flaw ): It's not the first time, and I always notice it only when somebody points it out.

And again, thanks for the critique, it actually helps me.

Know its just a fur effect that ponies should have, but it looks like she's sporting a Many Beard!!

Then again... the radioactive taint giving her more testosterone might explain much... XD

Heh, you don't get it, bearded girls are hot! :Ь

Talking seriously, I know, this is my fail. It's actually the first time I tried to make something like this, I mean textures and stuff. I'll try to figure out how to make it better next time.

P.S. Oh my, four days. I'm going for a record ^__^

Perhaps instead of pure white, a lighter spaced shade would remove the bearded mare look...

Not that I can claim to do any better myself, that is...
