Jowybean, you have always been keen on the amount of details you add into your pieces, and this one is no exception. To start off, I love the style in which you did this painting. It doesnt just look like a drawing. It looks like an actual portrait from the nineteenth century. It almost looks like the kind of portrait you would hang up on the castle wall for others to view as they're passing down the hallway of your sacred place. The way in which you drew "Princess Spoiler's" wings is intriguing. Instead of looking like an ordinary pair of wings, you made sure to really extend them, and give them actual feathers to emphasize her importance to the alicorn family. I also adore the way you designed Cadence. Her mane is given actual strands of hair that I feel I can really stroke my hand through. Furthermore, it's styled in the way that she has it in the show. Her demeanor looks to be proud and humble, like someone of royalty should look. Now as much as I hate to do it, I'm gonna have to be critical about the way you drew Shining Armor. I do see several problems in the way he was designed. First of all, he's smaller than Cadence, which doesn't seem to accentuate his fortitude. Secondly, his face looks more feminine, which again, fails to show how brawny and protective he really is. I don't mind an artist interpreting Shining Armor as a more feminine character, except that here, it's suppose to be a father and mother posing with their newborn foal. I think Shining Armor should look more sturdy than he does here. Other than that, the painting is well done. It shows the importance of Flurry Hearts, as well as the importance of the family to stick together. Keep up the tremendous work, Jowybean!
