Overall, I really do love this piece.As a note, I'm not a professional.Time is currently a key thing to note with this piece, for if this picture was drawn anytime before this most recent episode, it wouldn't mean much, simply a portrait of husband and wife.However, time has passed, and now there's a third in the picture; with the information we have. This is a portrait of a soon-to-be mother and father. They now have... life experiences together, to stay simple. I'm seeing the love between the two, but the excitement that is well-known to new parents... not quite seeing it.The detailing, as per usual, is truly your strong point. With shadows and reflections being likely the closest thing we'll get to a non-cartoon version of our small equine friends.I must point out that you truly do understand where the characters' contours and shapes are, which is very hard to master. The shapes of their muzzles, the eyes' depth, and where the horn meets the forehead, are all truly well-done.I have only a few things that are of slight bother. Shining Armor's horn seems a bit... low. In comparison to Princess Cadance's, his is in line with his eyebrows, which would be pretty unusual (that, and usually his horn is very forward-pointing).I love how you didn't include Shining Armor's breastplate (chestplate?), because in the typical day, he probably wouldn't be wearing it. But more importantly, we get to see WHY he's captain of the royal guard. Those muscles and the thickness of his legs... Simply impressive.Detail - Spot-onUnderstanding - SpectacularEmotions - Almost spot-on(It probably won't add up to it, but)Overall:9.4/10Keep arting!
