The use of light and dark gray shades certainly bring this out of the common art, it has a very 'sketchy' feel to it, not just in the use of technique but also in the fact that Claude is creepy. Any character that uses puppets is indeed freaky, and if you have automatonophobia you should already be shivering from the very sight of this. Yes they are ponies but ponies are sentient and it should trigger your fear, and this image does just that. In truth the shadows, light, strokes, and textural details bring out the best and worst images of this character. Kudos to you sir; I enjoy this piece of art as both a character study and proof that slight texture differences really can make a huge difference to a character.
