I see the point of this artwork, but I couldn't help laughing. Something about characters in still-shots that still show their idle movement is just hilarious to me.
Especially with that scrunched up face RD has.
But in a critical perspective, well done. I like it.

Wow, beautiful work! I love the subtle little movements on their wings. The wind-blown manes and tails look natural too. I like the extra work you put into the background as well. All these different movement variations make the image visually interesting to look at. I keep noticing new things, too, like the river flowing behind them. The dappling and light rays are lovely as well. I imagine that this could be their secret stormball practice spot they visit on the ground. Thank you for the beautiful animation, Shutdp!

Thank you so much
The environment in this case is crucial, so I worked a lot on it. Originally it was just a "block" of foliage, but then I decided that it was just too easy and stupid, so I went with random stuff until I got this. At the beginning this was meant to be some sort of cliff, with the waterfall in the distance, then, with the new computer the water model wasn't just black anymore, and I liked it, so I added it behind the rocks.. Then, river or lake, that's unknown :3
In the beginning also the camera angle meant something, with one going up (the right path) and the other one down, but then it kinda lost that meaning and became just a cool angle. Maybe there's still some of that in it, the actual story behind this is just an idea, a "sketch"..
But I like the idea of the place being their secret practice spot on the ground, or maybe a place they only know about who know what they did there, heh sorry :c
P.S.
I actually didn't notice that dappling effect until you noticed it. It's an interesting trick with lighting, I might use that in the future, don't know if it's situational though, it might depend on how the lights are posed in the scene.

Beautiful. Truly beautiful!
How did you get those light beams to dance like that?
