This captures the essence of the story. I don’t know if it would work for the cover, because, all the spoilers. But it does capture the feeling I got when I read the final lines.

This art is sooo good. I know some people consider black and white ‘unfinished art’ but in this case it doesn’t feel like this should have color.

As an artist I can safely say this probably took you 1+ hours. Creating every line of her mane really paid off in the end.

My only criticism is her tail, and that’s just nitpicking. Since she’s laying down it should be on the ground with her.

This is a top top tier entry. Great work.

This one's really emotional. I think it suits the story quite a bit. The darkened lines are just where they need to be and the mane is drawn with motion.

I really like how Twilight's mane kinda melts into the shadows on her body and the floor. It really feeds into this feeling of oppressive emotional weight. Very well done, and I also think it was a great choice to not show her eyes, which adds to the coldness of the scene. If I had to lodge a complaint, I'd say her back end does look a little detached from the rest of her, and also seems a bit small to me considering the angle of perspective.

Scribble dude, you have talent in spades. You made a good try at including everybody, and I salute you for this. This wins points for capturing her desolation just by her posture. If you’d given this piece more time, it could have been much more.
