Regret. Call for forgiveness and help. Emotion is so well transferred that I found it hard to look at this piece of art objectively. After overcoming urge to hug her I was finally able to make some observations.Focus is nicely drawn to the character. Background is the main reason for that. Color changes create real and existing background. Being unimportant it's nicely left blurry thus not competing for focus whit more important parts. Still it's tied to the character by using same colors as can be found in her eyes.Her mane is my favorite part. It's nicely detailed all the way to the stripes getting slightly mixed whit main colored hair.The most important element here is water. I was pleased to see that tripping water wasn't just random drops of water somewhere under the character. All drops of water are placed under lowest points, where the water naturally would flow and drip from. All 'runaway drops' are also seemingly following reasonable routs. Even miniature splashes of water hitting on top of her head exist. Water flow continues the same realistic behavior. It's seemingly random but follows curves of the face.Even thou lack of the horns spiral bothers me, biggest problem for me is the rain. I can not ignore how the lines of the rain are bigger on the right side of the picture. They also seem much too solid, long and few. On the left side they are great. Shorter, little fainted, varying in size and there are more of them. On top of that rain seems to bend in area around her manes back part.I was going to point out some flaws in her ear until I actually took piece of paper, folded it and realized that it resembled the ear. That turned hen ear from minor con to the nice pro. Soon followed the embarrassment of not seeing ears realistic posture right away.This might bee too much of a nitpicking but considering heads posture her chest shouldn't be visible. It's not a big deal considering how well focus is guided elsewhere. Overall Trixie's Hardship is nicely detailed picture aiming to be realistic. Most importantly it does what art is supposed to, capture and transfer feelings of the artist.
