Alright, first I want to just say that I do love your art Assasin, I really do. However, I have to say that I have issues with this particular piece.I would like to point out that I love how it is detailed yet simple and smooth at the same time. You can't see the individual hairs, it's in clumps, but it still looks like it's flowing. The grass, background and trees also have this style. For example, the tree bark isn't rigid, but it still has a texture to it. And the grass isn't quite solid, but it still has a very light fluid appearance. The colors and scenery look very warm, and is very pleasing to the eye. There aren't many harsh colors, it's all very soft. And the lighting is spot on. I also really adore her eyes, the way they shine makes them look very lively and draws you to them.The amount of detail you put into the body does not compliment the thin cartoony style of the anatomy. And sadly, it makes it look disproportionate and awkward. Because the muscles are so defined it makes her body look more sickly. Had you made her body more smooth and less defined, like in your other pieces, it would've made her look more natural. Cartoon anatomy is very exagerated and does not work the same way it does when brought more into realism. When it comes to cartoon anatomy they are kept more simple. Yes, they do draw the muscles here and there, but they aren't as defined and the skin is kept more sleak. Or, if they are drawn with defined muscles (for example with males) the skin is sleak. I understand that you were trying to make the legs thinner, but had you made the legs and the body smoother and less defined I think it would've translated a lot better into your final product.One of the things I would like to also point out is that on Applejack's right front leg the fetlock joint and short pastern bone is not anatomically correct.If you look at the anatomy of a horse you'll see that the fetlock joint does not pop out to that extent, the way you made it makes it appear as though it's a high heeled shoe attached to her leg as opposed to a hoof. Another problem I have is that her head looks rather big. When I took a look at your WIP chart the first image and the one farthest to the right on the first row, they actually look very nice, I love how it looks there! The head and snout are smaller. Which looks more complimentary to the rest of the anatomy, unlike the final product. One final thing I would like to say is that the ear is too bulbous and fleshy. If you were to look at your other pieces like "The Cause for Apples" and "Sass of the Saddle" you made the ears more inverted, while here if looks like it's not that caved in.So overall, your technique was very good, as usual. But, the vision is lacking and lackluster, and thus it affected the impact it had on me. I appreciate that you are experimenting and trying new things, but please understand that I did not type this to be "that person." I simply wanted to get my opinion across and hopefully that you could take my word into consideration. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I can't wait to see what you'll try next. ^^
