THAT POOR HOUSE. Why does the house have to make Planetfall? Or perhaps it wasn't there a moment ago. There's a trail behind it, after all. Maybe there was a house party and somepony teleported it into space and those dots are the ponies being sucked out into the cold void.
This piece symbolizes the existential dread of the unknown and the inevitability of death in the eyes of most, but as we can see from our spacesuit-clad Starmare, some are prepared to face and challenge the void, just as some of us stare death in the eye and cry defiant in our fight for immortality!

On the one hand, whoever drew this is obviously a more talented painter than I am (though that's admittedly not hard.) The technical skill on display is very good. The shape and light for the pony and the house is clear and well done.
However, I have no idea what the background is supposed to be, or why this house is in space and on fire? I feel like there should be a really good story somewhere in this one, but I can't grasp enough of the concrete details to guess at it.

Ah, so this is a movie reference I didn’t get. Fair enough.
There is skill in the execution (I like the backlighting and the visor stars on the astropone). I’ll put this one in the upper tier.

My biggest problem with this is the dirt underneath it doesn't quite look dirt enough at first glance, which can lead to a weird effect as you try to figure out which side the roof is on. Also, the reflection of the stars on the pony's helmet looks too much like an attempt to make it look curved/textured rather than clearly being the reflection of stars.
That said, this has nice composition and the planet in the background is great.

I am being coerced into saying that that house has a lot of extra space.
It's a good think >>Zaid Val'Roa pointed out that this is a movie reference, because I would have been even more confused without that context.
I'm pretty sure that fires and vacuums don't get along, unless that's supposed to be coming from the reentry into the atmosphere. But then shouldn't the pony be burning too?
Anyway, the art is good, I just have no idea what's going on.
