I feel really weird giving this a near perfect score simply because I feel like this high of a score should be more rare, but whatever! This is worth it!I guess the first thing I should talk about is Vision. Everything in this piece seems thought through very well and gives it a very sunken-treasure, ghost ship kinda feel. Like the kind of feeling you get when you get to the sunken ship part of The Goonies You saw something in your head and went for it- and it shows! This piece is super original and creative- everything flows together well, much like water. Combining Bioshock and MLP is super great, as well, and something I've never really seen before (I've also never really played Bioshock- too scary for me- but I feel like a Big Pinkie would be horrifying and great)The technique on this is superb- The highlights don't overwhelm the piece and naturally draw your eyes to the important bits. That little curl of water on the left there- that's some good shit. Really love how it's painted! Chryssie's hair seems a bit overwhelming with the highlight's though, and really detracts from the detail around the face- particularly her eyes/snout. The water dripping from the holes in her legs is a really nice touch! It's also wonderfully painted, and her wings are really dynamic. I've never seen her wings painted so well!The background, while minimalist, serves it's function well and really compliments the main focus of the piece. It's a really nice, understated background, quite frankly, and I'm in love with it! If you released it as a desktop wallpaper, consider me signed the HECK up.Overall this painting is super well done and deserves a lot more attention than it's gotten- and that's saying something! This art piece is something that could honestly stand in an MLP gallery- something to represent the artist's in the fandom's works. Kudos!
