I don't really see any problems with the way you draw, or how this was drawn, but I have some comments about the sword to be honest. Being somebody who has an interest in historical swords, I have to ask, what is this? It appears to be a longsword without a pommel at first, then as I look at it, I would have to say its an arming sword with long hilt. Considering that, I also have to ask why you chose to make it perfectly round? Granted, I've seen a lot of oriental and bronze age swords have round hilts, but never really any later century European ones. Altogether, its an odd looking sword. Granted, it looks functional, it would probably be a very good sword and I'll get to that in a second. I could assume that the long hilt would suffice as counter balance, and the round hilt would suggest its a thrusting weapon, which you do see a lot in thrusting swords. Though, I don't see how a round hilt would help her in this case, most swords have ovular or rectangular hilts to help with edge alignment, and this does look like a slicing blade, but my question is, wouldn't it be hard for her to keep a hold of in this shape, considering shes a pony? Granted, shes a pony, so any sword would be hard to hold, so it really doesn't matter. Taking all things into consideration, this is a highly functional sword that though I wouldn't exactly know how to use it, granted I have only had minimal training within recent time, would still be highly functional, and I highly appreciate realistic swords being presented for a change, which I personally prefer. But on another note, the guard looks a little odd, which isn't really a problem, its still functional, but at first I couldn't tell where the blade was coming out, and when I finally saw it, it still puzzled me. Was it too close to the handle, or is that just bad perception on my part, and with the shape of the guard I can't really tell if its location in correct, plus the bit that is in between the guard and the blade, I have never seen on any European sword, and it could have been drawn better taking in consideration the rest of the picture. But mixing European and Oriental designs doesn't bother me, historical accuracy and functionality are too of the biggest for me, and considering this is a fantasy piece, I can let go some of the historical accuracy part, altogether the sword you drew is very functional, it is aesthetically pleasing, one of my favorite swords I've seen in a while, once I get my computer fixed I definitely want to make my own interpretation on blender as a 3d model if you woudln't mind. The rest of the picture, I have no complaints. It was drawn well, almost realistic while still retaining a cute style. Surely gives dashie credit, shows a lot of her personality, the hair is astonishing, the eyes as well. Overall a great picture and you should keep at it.
