First of all, you have done an amazing job of conveying a strong sense of motion and the feeling that the suspense has been building until this moment. Several factors combine to make this dynamic feeling - one is the detail in the articulation of her body. Every bit of Rainbow Dash is tense and precisely angled so as to minimize drag, from stretching her long legs back to slightly angling her front hooves. We can see the muscles in her front legs straining to hold them steady, and her hair torn from its usual shape to flow out behind her. These obvious signs of effort in just her pose clearly convey her effort to the viewer in a much more visceral way than could be described in words. This communication of feeling to the viewer helps set this piece apart from usual pieces of RD preforming a sonic rainboom.





Then, there is her expression. She looks fiercely ahead, completely unaware of anything except the cone in front of her and her determination to achieve this, which no one else can do. Her expression is completely unrelenting, a raw feeling of complete control of her willpower that few could ever reach. This extreme expression causes an emotional response in the viewer, who wishes for her to succeed.





These are in no way the only things that make this drawing so wonderful. The coloring is phenomenal, with the mountains textured to suggest the presence of trees and rock, and the clouds fluffy white. Rainbow Dash's colors bleed into the air behind her, causing a visually interesting motion-blur effect. Finally, the strong diagonal formed by RD suits the background and the tall canvas.





This work is phenomenal, and I don't really see anything that detracts from the intensity and focus of this piece. Amazing job!

Wow, such a dynamic and interesting piece of art you have made...
