My my! Very clever! I've yet to see anything like this on dA by far. There are many things I like about this piece. Let me start by saying what a clever concept you've grasped here. A candle gun? Haha, how charming! I adore that aspect of this. The expression on her face is positively priceless. Very Pinkie-esque. I also really adore how her tail trails into a cloud of pink smoke. That's what I'm assuming it is, pink smoke from the candle gun? Very cute concept. Aside from that, I like the monochromatic aspect of the entire composition. I also love how she isn't quite centered, as if the recoil from the gun sends her back into the air. Exquisite job.As for improvements, there aren't many. But here are my thoughts. In accordance with it's surroundings, I feel as though Pinkie's body outline should be slightly darker. My eye loses it as it comes to Pinkie's tail. Not to mention, she's missing her cutie mark! And at this angle, you would definitely see it. Another thing she's missing is her nostril. Whether or not this was intentional, I still miss it being there. As for the gun, I'm not the best person about guns, so I won't critique that part of the piece. For form and anatomy, you've got it spot on. I would question her foremost foot for a second because it seems very..."squeezed", compared to her other, but that seems not to make much of a problem. Pinkie's mane and tail are another concern of mine. To me they look kind of glassy, as much of your shading and tinting is with diagonal strokes, causing a sort of glassy, hard look. But again, it doesn't appear to be a big concern. As for the large cloud of smoke, if it is indeed smoke, I would expect to see more of a smokey, cloudy texture. It feels sort of flat.Aside from any of that, this piece is extremely clever and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Keep up the good work!
