Well then, on to the piece!

I absolutely LOVE how you handled the lighting here! The heavy darks, and the controlled lights really make her shimmer! I especially like how the flame/faerie light is positioned, it looks like she pawed the ground with her front left hoof and sent the sparks flying. It also curves upwards with her hooves which feels right.



I'm a huge fan of the traditional unicorn, the tail, the fetlocks etc are all really cool touches. I feel like the horn could be longer, but it is placed very nicely and the sea shell spiral is also well handled. The line of action on this piece is very straightforward which I like, and the tail has a smooth and easy flow to it. If I may offer an observation, the mane feels like two separate pieces instead of a continuous hairline. It seems like the neck portion of the mane has a different flow than the head portion perhaps because it's tip is facing the opposite direction to the head hair. On the other hand, the two opposite hair flicks look almost like horns giving her a more sinister look, so perhaps that's what you were going for . Ponies with eyebrows are definitely on my list of favourite things, and in this piece it really helps in conveying her emotion! One thing which feels really different from your other works is the muzzle. Perhaps you were experimenting with style or maybe it's an effect of the angle/lighting, but it feels a little blocky, maybe even short. Perhaps it's the position of the nostril? But at this point I'm just nitpicking xD



A really great piece which reflects your progress as an artist, and a treat to the eyes! Keep it up!
