This is amazing-look at that shading! It is fantastic!SHADING: On the mane you can see each and every hair as it gets darker and lighter, and on the fur it is so perfectly blended it looks real! The shading makes the entire thing look 3D-at first I actually thought this was a 3D rig before I looked closer (it was too amazing to be a 3D rig anyway)! The shading on the wings is fantastic too, you can see each and every part of each and every feather and it is all shaded PERFECTLY! I feel like this must have taken four to six hours on the shading ALONE! You even have shading on the eyes-and it's also done great! The shading on the leaves looks nice too, all though I can tell you just used a gradient, it still fits with the picture. I'm sorry, but this shading is literally FLAWLESS!EYES/EXPRESSION: Ahhh! That face is just sooo cute! :3 Look at that adorable expression! The eyes are a bit bigger than what would be show-accurate but the size really seems to fit with this picture, so I think you made a good choice. The folded ear is a nice touch as well, and makes it even more cute, and realistic!MANE: I love the way you drew the mane! It looks so cute, especially the bangs-they aren't exactly show accurate, but the way you drew them is SUPER adorable and a very nice touch. I also really love the tail (especially the shading) and.... I'm sorry, but I really want to go on and on about the shading in this section, even though I already have a separate section for it, because the hair has the BEST shading of the whole picture-it just looks so real! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title="(Big Grin)"/> I also think those extra, curly strands are a very nice touch. It's great that there aren't to many... or not enough! There is just the right amount and they are all in the perfect placements!ANIMATION: I really like the animation, it adds even more depth to the already amazing and in depth picture! I enjoy the soft sweet rocking movements and think they are animated nicely. I love the animation of the bangs, you can really see them moving, and the legs look nice as well! I feel like the tail is a bit to stiff though, and that in needs to sway a bit for it to be realistic. It would also be a nice touch if those curly hairs moved slightly, it would make it look more alive! I feel like I would prefer it if the eye blinked as well, but that could be too much work: so don't worry about it, it would just make the picture look a bit more lifelike! Though overall I think the animation is well done, and a great touch! If it wasn't animated it would definitely take a way from the piece!
