I'll bite. You want a critique and you prefer Deviantart? So be it. Whether or not you trust me for artistic advice or not is beside the point. I can't draw that well, but I do know and understand art. And at one point I used to like your comics. (Used to being the key phrase here.) Granted I also don't comment that much and I generally love to keep it short, because if I have to type long comments....I tend to drag on. But none the less. Continue on if you're interested in my critique and warning, I may come off as an ass in this. So do as you please with it.



First off: I'll talk about the Anatomy first. It is outright painful to look at, so I must ask, which are you going for out of these three options? Are you looking to have Show-Accurate Anatomy? Realistic-Horse Anatomy? Or A blend between both? Because if you're going for both, please do not. That kind of wrecks everything. However, if you're going for Realistic-Horse Anatomy. Have you actually seen a horse up close? I personally have and they do not resemble that. Horses are magnificently beautiful animals and Ponies are smaller than horses too. And MLP has expressed that we are dealing with a majority of ponies. So they'd likely have shorter legs since they ARE ponies after all. And speaking of the legs....seriously dude...please, once again look at a horse's anatomy. Legs do not bend that way. And if you're going for Show-Accurate Anatomy....well, you really need to try harder if you're going to do that. I also have a final note, both real horses and MLP, the torsos are a bit more rounded than what you've portrayed here and they certainly do not have muscle lines like that. So please, ditch those too. They take away from everything and make it look like we're looking at Bulk Biceps here. As funny as that pony is, they aren't Bulk Biceps. And finally, I also forgot about the wing-shoulder thing. You seem to have forgotten to draw a line to give a distinction between Twilight's wing and shoulder. Too focused on the muscle lines perhaps? It looks like her shoulder and wing are one when in the show they aren't.



Second: Characters. Still a bit painful to look at. Both AJ and Twilight here...their faces, their bodies, they just feel awkward when together. I can't really find the words to express this, except that it's baaaad. If you want to improve it, I'd suggest going show accurate, or perhaps relying on vectors if the artist allows people to use them.



Finally: The style in general. I know you've been working at it for six months, but it might be time to step back and really look at your work critically. Compare it with the stuff you did before, because honestly, that stuff was better. After all, the measure of a good artist is being unable to look at your own work if you're truly self-aware. But that's for you to figure out. I can't explain any further beyond that point as I've explained everything I could. Also, maybe polish the backgrounds a little more.
