If this isn't supertrampoline I will eat my nonexistent hat :rainbowlaugh:

In any case, this is definitely an imaginative piece. While it isn't conventionally "pretty," a lot of time obviously went into this and it's surprisingly clean where it wants to be. The style makes me think of something that a filly Twi would draw, which I think is a neat idea.

Thanks for submitting this! :twilightsmile:

I don't know if Proto pony 350 ever enters these. This looks a lot like his adventure Clyde Tumblr

I actually really like this one! The colors are very psychedelic, and the grotesqueness of the figures is alluring in its own strange way. The way Celestia's shadow is drawn, however, leaves something to be desired.

While it could be said this is badly drawn, there is still a nice effort in the composition. The background add a nice touch, while we could expect to have nothing or a poor one. Moreover, the way the word 'TALL!' is placed and rotated also add to the composition. It's not something deep or very original but it effectively convey a feeling of height.

My only complain is with the word 'GEE'. We often see words being changed to fit the pony world, creating a pony slang. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure gee comes from Jesus and I didn't remember seeing him in the show. Moreover, several expressions use Celestia so it wouldn't be hard to turn Gee in Cee.

Overall, I'm afraid this piece didn't really click for me, mainly because of the style, but I still have to mention the composition. So thank you for sharing and spending time to create your piece.

I will see this in my nightmares.

This is not very aesthetically pleasing, but I have a feeling that it looks exactly the way you want it to look.

I think using "cee" would have just confused people. I'm fairly certain that I wouldn't have made the connection to Celestia. Besides, "gee" has been used quite a few times in the show. And if you really wanted to ponify "gee," might I suggest "gee"? :p

I rest my case.

tl;dr: What >>DuskPhoenix said.

There is a lot going on with the background here. You've got the diamond pattern in Celestia and Twilight's colors. You've got the orange overlay, which appears to be an entirely separate tiling, because it doesn't repeat at the same interval as the diamonds. Then you've got the occasional green blobs shadowing the purple diamonds. What's going on with those? Why do they only appear in a single diagonal stripe toward the lower right?

This is hard to enjoy but there's a lot in it to appreciate, is what I'm trying to say. Thank you for contributing!

I keep seeing Twilight's mouth as barbed mandibles biting Celestia's leg. As if she's an irritating little tick that latches on to her, sucking her blood, refusing to let go....

Woah, we got a story going on here. Celestia, is this how you truly feel?!
