Given the extreme amount of MLP art there is these days, it can be hard at times to rate originality and vision. So, a little leniency tends to be necessary, but not here. I've seen plenty twilight with coffee cups (or in coffee cups), but the posing, expression, and the entire tone here is unique from any I can directly remember. Not just cute, but coy and a bit seductive. It's a wonderful approach.Your technique has resulted in a very lovely piece. The hair and eyes (the two parts of any piece that seem to grab me the most) are wonderfully detailed, but not too detailed. More detail than you have would have detracted from the "cozy glow" that the image has. Well done walking that line.The only things I can think of as potentially needing considered in future are:1.) The text on the cup, particularly the equal sign, doesn't curve appropriately for the intended surface. However, I know that a number of art programs do not make it easy to deform layers appropriately when starting with a text block rather than drawing freehand.2.) Her horn seems a bit small as compared to the other proportions in the piece and the sharply defined border makes it appear a bit more 2-dimensional than intended.All that said, those two things don't really detract from the image as a whole. I was actively looking for potential flaws for the critique - I didn't notice those at all prior to that. Again, beautiful.When I first popped this image open I got an extra heart-thump as I scrolled down and saw the eyes, then grinned and said aloud "you are indeed a cutie-pie" when I saw the cup. Any image that gets an instant, unthinking reaction from me I automatically grant high impact rating. After all, a reaction like that only happens if it has an impact on you. It's wonderful.---As I'm sure it clear at this point, I adore this piece. Thank you so much for making it, for sharing it, and for opening up critiques so that I could express in detail my love for it. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title="(Smile)"/>
