Hey! It looks like you're new here. You might want to check out the introduction.
There's a lot that could be going on in the image. The two characters could be friends talking about how one of them received the letter before ripping it up. Maybe the character on the left thought about giving the letter to the character on the right but decided against it and tore it up beforehand. MAYBE the character on the right gave it to the character on the left and while they weren't looking and it got torn up in silent rejection. However, the lines above their ears almost indicate to me that they both caught the sound of the paper. There's good story potential here!
The actual execution of the drawing is great too. The colors are clean and the linework is very well done. I'd say the proportions are just a bit off, particularly how the heads are compared to the hind legs, but this could simply be a choice of style. I'm just not sure it works the best here. Otherwise, it's a super solid drawing.

I dunno what it is, whether it's the tool used to capture the image or the brush strokes in some areas, but there's a good focus on Rainbow Dash that I think is very pleasing. The choice of medium is nice; it's only a little bit messy. I think the prompt potential is super high, too. It's a very cute image!
Oh, this image is very clean, by the way. The image is framed well, and the shading is subtle. The subtle shading might actually be what's giving some people a weird vibe, but I think it looks alright. It's well done!

Maybe Pinkie secretly has a thumbtack (hooftack??) in her leg and doesn't want anyone to know she's in pain?

This is a really nice photo.
The line 'what grows from the ground a rainbow touches' gives this image some prompt potential.

I really like how the markers are used in this image. The textures give off that authentic vibe. I mean... they're actual markers, but they're used so well that if I was told this was a digital art image that was trying to pass as traditional, I'd believe it. I guess? What I'm trying to say is that the choice of medium is very deliberate. The smudging of black ink in some areas almost seems intentional too. It's only happening around her eyes and the cutie mark. Almost like she was crying? Interesting.
Well done!
Well done!
This premise is exactly my jam, I love it. (I'll probably give a better review when I'm not on my phone)

Hey, thank you for taking the time to read this and sharing your thoughts and words!
Due to time constraints, this story ended up not taking the shape I had originally hoped. The abrupt ending came from me slapping a few sentences to the tail of what I had and submitting it with the last 20 or so seconds left. The title was even rushed onto it. I was hoping to make the title a linguistic pun of the Hebrew word for 'tall'.
The major part of this story was supposed to be about how the main character escaped the tower she helped create. The major obstacles were supposed to be the fact that she couldn't understand anyone else in the building, and the fact that the oblong revisions were counterproductive in the case of a fire drill. It ended up being 1/4th of the whole story in the end which, uh, makes it fall pretty flat. I also didn't get a chance to flaunt all of the details I wanted to incorporate into it, and the details I did get a chance to flaunt were half baked.
Anyway! I studied my linguistics books and went online (admittedly on Wikipedia, especially for the bible stuff) for all the language and history related details in the story. Each month is part of the Hebrew calendar, which has a theme applied to it that I tried to incorporate. The languages used in the middle portion are romanized translations of languages like Amharic, Egyptian, Sinitic (specifically Mandarin) Hebrew, and for fun I added in Basque and a secret special language. I love languages, and they were supposed to be a large part of the story!
I had to look pretty much everywhere to get an accurate portrayal of Babylon and its size, but an old humanities text provided a pretty decent reference. The architectural knowledge I have is incredibly limited, so I hoped my mechanical drafting and physics knowledge would carry me over while I glanced at maybe like, two google pages about the Burj Khalifa and the Shanghai Tower. I should have studied skyscraper construction a tad more. I wanted to bring science into this legend because it would be cool.
As for the characters' lack of depth, that was either my inexperience as a writer, the fact that my story is pretty much cut in half, or both. I usually try to show character through dialogue, and I don't know if that's a bad practice or not so I cut the dialogue short.
Oh, as for my overabundance of typos: those were just typos. I couldn't get anyone to read over the story with me, and I was out of time. Perhaps it was careless, but I figured it was better to submit something rather than nothing at all. Next time, I'll divvy up my efforts differently!
Again, thank you for reading!

Those are freaky. Those are toats freaky. This is some cosmic horror stuff. Neat! I think this concept is awesome. The monster's designs are something else.
The sniper lady on the right is really well done, and I can easily recognize the weapon she's holding. (Geez, those are some short shorts.) Even the cliff she's laying on is nicely rendered.
The lights of the far away city are done alright. They seem like bokeh. The closer city's lights, however, I think are a bit lacking. Firstly, they seem to be placed at a weird angle. Second, if the red lights in lines are supposed to be cars, then the streets they're on would have to be incredibly wide. All the other lights don't really seem like building lights.
Another thing is that the water doesn't really look like water to me. The reflections from the city lights are nice, but I believe it's missing something. Something like waves to suggest the monsters are stepping in it.
All in all- this is a pretty good one. Nice work!

Ohhh this angle is very interesting. It fits the prompt like a glove.
I love the wing colors! They appear to be a bit translucent. It'd be neat if some colored light poured through them to drive that idea home. Your anatomy's alright here. Some mistakes I see appear to be from how it was painted, though I think her left wings are slightly misplaced.
Huh, >>Not_A_Hat I might know why you think the flowers look so weird compared to the lady? I think the picture's a bit unfinished looking.
I think I can see parts of your sketch for the flowers on the right and a bit in the leaves in the bottom left. The lines on the lady, especially on her raised arm, seem like sketch lines that have yet to be covered. A lot of the rendering doesn't seem deliberate in some aspects too. I think you might just need a bit more time on this image in general.
As it is now, it's still pretty good, and the idea's cool too. Good job!

Oh, hey, this one's got that action vibe to it. It's pretty nice looking!
I like the fact that the lasers are the only color in the image. It's very popping.
The character also pops well from the background and you seem to have a good grasp of anatomy.
I've got some nitpicks though.
What is she holding in her hand? Is it a detonator or is it a grenade? I see a little thing coming off of it, so I'd assume it's a grenade, but she's holding it like a detonator.
I see the lasers are casting reflections on the glass, but the reflections are too crisp. It's almost like a mirror, though the character's reflection is barely there.
The fabric on her knees are of different sizes. It looks strange.
I'm also trying to wrap my head around where she might be, though I suppose that's up to anyone who writes for this.
Overall, nice work!

This image was weird to me, but Not_A_Hat's comment has at least opened my eyes to what might be going on in the image.
If I think about how this image would have been made, there's one thing that would require a bit of touching up to make it look just a bit neater. You either erased the purple overlay behind the shade with an eraser or with a selection tool. Maybe you did something similar. Either way, on the far left of the image, the shade does not line up with what the wall is actually covering. It's off by a bit.
As a concept, I think this picture could make for an interesting story, though.

Not_A_Hat is right: The stars don't form a believable night sky. It would help if there were some spots of empty space and if the stars were organized into faux constellations and clusters.
Also, the blue portion of the sky closer to the ground, what is that? What is the orange band separating the sky from the ground?
One thing I do like about this image is the choice of purple you used along with the color of the stars. It does look nice together.

This is a really interesting image, but it's also quite clean. It's pretty macabre, but also just pretty.
The strokes are calculated for an ink brush. It looks lovely. The style is almost like the kind of thing you'd see in an old book illustration, like a Canterbury Tales drawing. Speaking of which, I noticed some text in the background. I was wondering if this drawing was done on the back of a page of some sort, but then the letters should appear in all the characters' white space. I tried to take this image and up the contrast to see if I could read it, but I can't make out the script. It looks like Latin maybe, and if not that, then maybe just old print. I could vaguely make out the 'ſ' long s. I'm interested in knowing what it says!
This is a very interesting drawing. Well done!

This image is adorable. The stories this one could inspire will probably be very sweet.
I also think this is well done! The silhouettes are drawn quite well and it all looks good.

I can't read runes too well at all. I think it says 'bæum' or 'beum'? The photo itself is nice. It fits the prompt well.
I like the concept of this image. "There's Space for love" is also a good line. Let aliens on Earth!
That's a big boy!
There's something really cool about how the celestial bodies in the sky almost mirror the scene below. That's a neat touch!
The color usage also seems to go in layers from the top from cool to warm to cool to warm again. It's pleasant.
The big boy seems wounded, but maybe he could be a friend?
Very nicely done!

Oh wow, this is an excellent drawing, and the narrative possibilities are very interesting.
The palette chosen for this picture is great. The character's designs are fantastic. I love the seraph-esque (Or maybe Cherub, since they have a sword) character and how intimidating they seem, and the darker tones make for some really good contrast. The fawn-esque character is drawn with proper anatomy, and the pose is strong.
At first, I thought the bright circle between the two characters was a shield of some sort, but maybe it's the smaller character's halo? I'm not sure. There are tiny little symbols that I can barely make out around the edge of it. Not sure what those are. The only reason I think it's a halo is because the larger character has one around their head too. I also just noticed that the larger character's wearing what looks like a crown of thorns? There's a few elements to this that seem somewhat Christian in nature. I won't over-analyze too much though!
The concept is great, and the execution is stellar. This is definitely one of my favorite pieces! (If not, my most favorite.)

Oooo nice, nice!
The color choice of this image is great and the square brush strokes make for a nice painter-ly look. The lines present on the character makes the image feel somewhat unfinished, but not necessarily in a way that makes it less pretty. What the character does and why they're there is ambiguous, and I think that's a really cool thing. It might make for some interesting stories!

Wuhaaa
Is this a photo or is it a manipulation? All the elements in this picture seem so independent of each other that it feels like they were cut out of other images and placed here.
Which is extremely interesting! I don't know too much about photography; that's a field reserved for a close friend of mine.
What I will say is that I like the space that the sky occupies in the image. Very nice.

hmm
Ah I see. It's a Skye terrier? I'm very glad that someone was able to pull off 'against the sky' without it actually representing the sky above the Earth. Well done! That being said, there's a lot about this image that I really enjoy, and some things that confused me at first.
All three subjects in this image, I think, are well done. It's pretty unsettling, and the medium used here makes it even more so. I really like that the rat on the left is wielding a screw. It's a great touch that also somewhat establishes a sense of scale. I also like that the dog's teeth were drawn much darker (lighter?) than the rest, making it a more obvious focal point.
Some things that didn't read well to me were the clock in the top right and the shelf in the top left. The clock appears to be rather large and somewhat off angle. The shelf seems just a bit out of place by itself. If there was a drawer or cabinet or any other background element accompanying it, it might feel better. All the background elements in general seem like they don't fully need to be there unless a more detailed background was going to be drawn.
However! I think the background elements as an idea help the scene by further establishing the scale.
I think this is a successful drawing! Very nicely done.
