OK, I'm gonna be the guy. I'm going to be the bastard who DOES critique the art as well as the comic in general because I think it's worth mentioning and discussing.This may be more a dissection than it is a critique.I like the way the title is drawn. It doesn't have anything to do with what I'm about to say but I felt I had to get that out of the way. I like the title logo.After looking at this piece for a while, the phrase "bare bones" comes to mind, because that is what this comic is. It's VERY bare bones and only does what works for the piece, but it doesn't go beyond that.It mainly is two characters talking to one another. Two heads facing each other in conversation. The camera only moves to close up the face a few times over the course of the comic, and with no background or environment it's VERY minimalist.Not only is the way you are displaying the scene minimalist, but the technique with which you draw your characters are also very simplistic. Simple cartoony line art with flat colors. No shading, highlights or even magic effects for rarities horn. Although I noticed that Sometimes the line art is colored in the closeups while it's black from far away. One would think it would be the other way around or consistent throughout.At first I thought that the dialogue was cheesy and full of corn. I haven't changed my mind about that but I warmed up to it a little more on multiple read through s. The characters talk like they would on the show, thus their personalities do not feel too betrayed, but it does make me wonder whether or not AppleJack would harbor these feelings of insecurity. Whether she is legitimately be concerned about her own image really doesn't come up that often, but it feels fishy in a way. But it's heartwarming despite it's really odd quirks.If I were to change anything about this I would definitely add shading to the figures, fix some small anatomical quirks here and there, make the sound effects larger and more noticeable because I missed them my first read through, and slightly change the background color so it blends less into DA's background.Responses to this Dissection/ Critique would be very much appreciated.
