Oh yeah this guy! What's-his-hooves! With the bad luck and such! I'm kinda surprised we only have one of him this round. Good opportunity for an author to add some life to him, though.
I'm afraid I'm having trouble determining the idea behind this fic. Trouble Shoes (thx Google) looks kind of non-plussed to be where he is, or maybe a little bit disappointed, but where is he? Without the background of the image I can't get a good idea of the situation, so all I know is that Trouble Shoes is a little unsure about this spotlight.
Well it could just be me not remembering the episode well enough. But still, a little more life to what's going on around him would go a long way here. As it is, I worry it would only inspire authors who were dying to write a sad Trouble Shoes fic.
Thanks for entering!

Quick and clean. I think I get the idea of being in the spotlight means "a star" and that reversed his typical bad luck. I feel this may be from the same artists as the Bad Luck discord one. Similar papers and white balance, as well as style.

Now that you mention it... are the purple and red splotches on this drawing from Discord's wing and tail?
:O

I like this picture, with a few simple lines, you managed to make a really sad Troubleshoes. I mean, I'd be sad if I somehow lost 60% of my legs, but that's besides the point.
I feel that, if you really meant to have good 'ol Troubleshoes under the limelight, it would've worked better if you had darkened the rest of the image. That way, the isolation would've made him feel like he's really the focus of all who are watching.
Nevertheless, nice entry.

Sorry, I got distracted by the CSI. Here's a real review.
I like this piece. Aside from the suspicious splotches, this is very clean, and makes a pretty effective statement in how isolated he feels. I love how his limbs are tucked into his body, like he's trying to make himself invisible onstage. Kinda tough to make yourself small when you're such a big pony. Poor guy.
I probably would have liked to see a smidgen of texture or shadow in the pool of light. Maybe the barest hint of floorboards extending beyond the light. It kind of looks like he's sitting on a yellow cushion or an egg yolk.

Won't really have time for art reviews this week, but I wanted to offer a tip to the source pic's artist here:
I often see artists who work with colored pens (and other such bleedy mediums) grab a couple sheets of printer paper to stuff into their sketchbooks behind the page that's currently being worked on. That way, the scratch paper eats the bleedthrough instead of the next sketchbook page. (As a secondary benefit, the scratch paper becomes a bookmark so you can immediately flip to the next unused page when your muse calls.)

I really liked this piece. Troubleshoes doesn’t get nearly enough love! This gave me a pretty wild story idea as well. ^^
