When it comes to the quality of the art itself, this is a very good-looking picture. The lines and colouring are both good to look at as well as being consistent with the colouring and character designs established in the show itself, and faithfulness to the source material is always something I’m pleased to see. However, I will not go so far as to say it’s one of the best pictures I’ve seen, as I think there are better pictures out there, but that’s no real criticism as it’s still an impressive work.The characters portrayed in the picture, despite merely posing, manage to capture the essence of what these characters are like. Features such as Fluttershy’s shyness or Rainbow Dash’s brashness all come across at a glance and it’s clear that the artist has managed to remain true to the spirit of the show and it’s character in this image.In terms of originality, the picture suffers somewhat as I have seen many anniversary pictures based on MLP in my time. But as I’ve said in many critiques before, that it no real issue for me. Originality is not something I care about provided that the picture is made well, and this picture is certainly made very well.As for what the picture makes me feel when I look at it, I feel just why I fell in love with this series in the first place. It gives the kind of love this show deserves and it’s clear just from looking that the artist has a great respect for both the show and the people who make it. And that alone earns it my admiration.And impressive and well-made picture that’s worthy of the show it’s praising.
