The first thing that comes to mind when viewing this piece is how bold it is: the extreme contrast, the vibrant splashes of color, the immense feeling of scale. All of these together just make this piece stand out fantastically.The only bit that somewhat detracts from the piece at all for me would be the lack of other characters in the scene. We get the idea that it's not completely devoid of other life by the lights and the couple of balloons in the distance but seeing even just the silhouettes of a few pegasi in the background would make the piece feel more alive. I'm on the fence with Flutters, there, as well. I like that we get the idea that she's just going from one place to another but the way she doesn't seem at all impressed by her surroundings makes it hard for me to decide whether I like that it gives the idea that this amazing view is commonplace to her or if it bothers me that it doesn't seem to affect her. It's just a little nitpick about expression, I suppose. She still looks fantastic overall with that bright light there with her.The most impressive part of this piece, to me, is the unique vision of Cloudsdale it gives us. I love that it's not just made of clouds but that it's inside clouds. It's like a separate world tucked away. The bright, cavernous opening lets us into this hidden and amazing world and the sharp contrast just heightens that sense of mystery and wonder. And then to top it off you gave it a large body of water as well! The thought that there could be a sea in the clouds just feels beautiful to me.I continue to be astounded by your work, amazing job.
