Seems like a missed oportunity to make a blue pill joke. Oh, well.

I like how you manage to convey so much through Twilight's eyes. The bags, the tears, that half-lidded stare. Makes you wonder if there's a scant second before she takes the pill when she wonders if it's worth it to keep this charade before relenting and continuing with her routine.

Nicely done, artist person.

I'm on the same boat here, Twilight's face conveys so much here.

I'm more concerned with the background. I mean we have a very rough sketch of what I suppose is a window. While i don't mind rough drawings, the problem here is that it kinda clashes with Twilight, who is skillfully drawn. I guess it came from the timeconstraint, and you didn't have time to finish it.

However, I think I see why it's here. Light comes from the window, while Twilight is looking at a small thing (a seed? a marble?). For me, I feel like she's giving one last look at the world she had built, before returning to the light, the real world. And that's a dichotomy I absolutely love, despite my nitpicks.

So good job author, you'll end up in the high tier.

I'm starting to get into my upper tier here, where I have to start making tough ranking decisions separating "more deserving" from "most deserving". This is a really dynamic piece, and I like a lot about it — the shading in particular is excellent, and the unusual choice of green for the backlighting works surprisingly well with the pony color. The figure is dynamic and emotional.

I question the decision to spend so much time on the (admittedly fantastic) shading while leaving in the pencil roughs of the figure itself, though. The muted outer lines do work well with that backlighting effect, but then you've got the head-circle you used for reference still cluttering up the face, and it's disorienting seeing such a halfhearted window against the quality of the foreground. (Leaving it subdued was a good choice, but it still breaks the fourth wall for me with its aggressive sketchiness.) So, high tier, but edged out by my top votes. Thanks for submitting!

EDIT: And this is only the third review for the picture, so one final reminder that there's still a number of art pieces needing some feedback love.

Dragon: may I use this art for the cover image of my story on Fimfiction? (Maybe without the watermark, provided I leave whatever attribution you prefer in the description? But the watermark is fine if you want it there.)

Sure! You can credit me on deviantart or Instagram. (I think I'm gonna post the whole thing without the watermark on my deviantart later if you want)

I'm so glad you like it. 😄

Thank you so much for your guy's feedback! As you may have noticed I was stretched for time. I've had three hours of "free time" these past two weeks so I didn't have time to line it or create any semblance of a background.

Although I was pretty proud of my twilight I do need to work on backgrounds. It's a rough spot for me and I wasn't exactly sure on how to do it this time around.

Once again, thank you so much for the reviews!! :D

Lmao I was actually going to make that reference but I decided against it, I wanted to make the piece a bit serious :P

.....now I'm slowly regretting it....
