I find myself listing all the fanfictions that could be brought upon by this image alone, it wouldn't even have to follow the story line of Lord of the Rings. Now... on topic!Vision: It's great, we have a very opposing queen who is ridding her Fellbeast. I imagine there she would be, swooping down upon somepony, intimidating and deadly as can be. Vision is 4 1/2.Originality: Artwork like this is very common, while I love it and cannot complain about it, to call it original would be a lie. It is very lovely, but it isn't independent as it fits in a common group of artwork. Originality is 3.Technique: One of my favorite thing about Brony artwork is that you look at this without knowing any of the origins of this you'd say, "What is that? Who could possibly come up with something so malevolent?" Then you'd learn it was from a cartoon about magical ponies who spend their time learning about friendship. That's why I love the serious and almost dark work out there, it contradicts what others would think about the show, it doesn't make sense! Technique is a 5.Impact: Again Queen Chrysalis is intimidating in this picture. She rules the skies and strikes fear in the heart of mare's and stallions alike. The creature no mare can kill. Everything in here is a darker shade, except the few things like her magic, eyes, and mouth. The dark and light contrast gives her gloomy figure some form to it. Just like an actual Nazgul, except instead of the silver armor, it's just the bright green that's focused on her head, which draws the eye slightly (Again, similar to the Nazqul armor.) The description, I love how it's a quote. I know, the critique is supposed to be about the picture, but the quote helps with the eerie feel. It makes it feel all dramatic, like I see somepony hunched over, quill barely held by magic, while he/she scribblers the last moments before all hope is lost and the Queen descends upon them. I also love quotes, so... yeah. Impact is 4 1/2
