Your portraiture style is getting better and better. I have almost nothing to say about her face or the shading, it's too well done. The red blunt on her cheek I find i little bit too agressive, but I get it - subsurface scattering, maybe turn down the opacity a little bit or try to incorporate the color into the base celestia skin color overall, just very mildly. The eye detail is astounding, I have no idea how you managed to get the eye look so "eyeish" without using big reflections. The shade around the corner of her eye seems a little bit off, like you were unsure about the shape of the head there, but that's really nothing. The sharp shade on her neck also feels a bit unnatural and honestly - whether it's the shade thrown by her head or shading of neck muscles, the sharp edge doesn't belong there, I'm pretty sure of that.The hair look a lot like porcelain, all shiny and sparkling, which gives it nice feeling of detail, but I also wonder, how else could you do it to maintain the feeling yet not make it look like statue or glass... humour me e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title="(Smile)"/> But the reflections there, provided it is glass, are right on spot, that part you have covered very well. The crown sadly gets little bit lost in the darkness of the background, which is pity (such a beautiful crown...).Now the background I get, but the "crosshair" pointing directly on top of her horn - was it your intention, or mistake? If intention, then OK, if mistake, well... it just hits me in the eye e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title="(Big Grin)"/> I know it's supposed to be star, but how it found it's way right on that one spot just leaves me wondering... I mean, what are the odds?I sure would appreciate more hard lines in your images, but this is your own style and I won't push you to do something you are not comfortable with, I'm just saying you can do it. Those last images look great from afar, but when I fullscreen it, even on my laptop monitor I can see it's very blurry on the edges and the initial feeling of the detail is kinda lost. I know it's caused by working in what, 2 layers? Or something like that, but again - you can do better e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title="(Smile)"/>I didn't give much for originality, since it's another one of pony headshots, which you have your gallery stacked with now, but the hair is new, so I give credit there. Overall impact is hard to rate, sure has atmosphere and the hair is stylish, we might see more like that from now on, but for me, the impact isn't really there, not like with the wingless pegasus you painted few weeks back, that's what I imagine under the word impact.But I give close to full score for Vision and Technique, what could be sayed I sayed, there is not much more for you to learn there, maybe it's time you focused on other aspects of your artwork e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title="(Smile)"/>
