Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


To be perfectly honest, I kill to have something like this on my bedroom wall, hell maybe even the office. The way the colors blend from sunrise sky to sky blue waters, and how the clouds centrifuge to the horizon is much to be astounded from. And with Fluttershy swiftly flying dramatically calm in the foreground, i'm not sure what else could make the painting more adorable.

I do admire the fish-eye effect, and the way streaks of what appear to be an illusion of clouds forming contrails, make a great mix. There's not much to look at here, and the title seems off, unrelated and I'd assume somepony could easily misinterpret the meaning of the painting, the visual impact nevertheless means the most for me.

thanks for the comment, but this is more like an opinion instead of a critique, a critique purpose is to make an analysis of an artwork with the end of helping the artist getting better at what he does, my work is far from perfect and is pretty amateur and compliments, even when I appreciate them, are not a suitable for a critique because it won't make me any better artist, for a critique you need to point out the mistakes in something instead of what is good, if you want to use the critique feature, try to give important feedback by pointing out the flaws instead of the good part.

thanks for the compliment but the rating is undeserved.

But you must agree, it still looks awesome in one way or another, in a different comment or a different perspective. I gave a fair judgement, and a judgement is always based on the discerning and promiscuous, and not always on the obvious and/or tangible, and mine screams "AMAZING" at the top of its lungs. Not all art is perfect, and there are always cases where one person likes a piece of art whilst another individual does not, but that's perfectly normal. Not everyone has the same opinions. The "suggestions" I may or may have not stated is not the recommended. For all you know what I may "suggest" to make the art look better is actually something that would make it look bad, or worse. See, the main point here is that not everyone has the same taste for art.

And according to my critique, your artwork is breath-taking. Your rating is very well deserved, I'd oppose.

Well, art is subjective, as well as opinions, but a critique is still a critique, I may agree with a critique or I may not, that should not limit yourself to give your judgement, for example if you told me that the pegasus cutiemark was too subtle and should stand out more, I would perfectly agree, if you think it looks good, thanks, but the fundamental basis of a critique is to give a detailed explanation of the good/bad of everything (mostly the bad), if you are just giving compliments, is very hard to know what to do to improve in my art.

I still think the rating is undeserved because a professional will probably spot way more mistakes that I might not have spot myself, thatΒ΄s why I think it's an unfair critique.

Wow, this is gorgeous artwork! I love all the colors and clouds; Fluttershy herself also looks really nice with her swept back mane and ghost of a smile.

Epiiic. Not a fan of the show, but this is awesomeness.

Love how you put layers with low capacity over for extra effect: the green of the sea reflecting off her, as well as the white of the clouds and the yellow of the sunset.

Awesome

thanks ^^.

let's see..., the background was 1, 2, 3.... 5 layers I think, I don't remember using low opacity layers, it's all hand drawn.

I can't help but thinking of One Piece while looking at that background... Which is no bad thing after all.

It looks awesome, but was that sketch layer left on purpose?
Also random quadrilateral in her tail.

I love this kind of comments, it means you can respect something for its value and you admit it instead of trashing it just because it belong to something you don't agree with.
