Alright, this one's a goodie. Great job on the emotion. That mouth shape is on-point.

I'm not sure what the black-fog border does for the picture, but hey, you're the artist. I do wonder how it would look without it, though.

Thanks for submitting!

Glad we got to see at least one fortune teller drawing this round! Madame Pinkie Pie is always up to the task!

My eye was immediately drawn to her eyes, then the jewel above her head. That jewel is downright mesmerizing, artist. It makes a curious contrast to the lack of glassy details in the crystal ball and the earring.

The dark fog sets an effective mood. There's an encroaching gloominess to not receiving hugs, especially for Pinkie Pie. I wonder if she's seeing somepony else's future, or her own?

I think my only critique would be with the eyes. At first glance they look alright. After a longer look, there's a few tiny differences in the size/shape/position of the pupils, which makes her expression barely dip into the uncanny valley. Putting eyes front and center is a tricky game, so I applaud you for that.

I agree with >>Miller Minus on how well you captured the emotion on her face—and that's something her massive eyes contribute to in a positive way. She looks about to burst into tears.

Nice work overall, and I wish you luck!

This is pretty much top-tier work. I could beg for some more detail in the crystal ball itself, but everything else is unabashedly fantastic.

I like the connotations here. The artwork itself reminds me of a background painting that'd be in Adventure Time. Critiquing a tad, I can't make out any snout/muzzle. Feels like, even at the straight on angle, there'd be some shadows to denote a more equine face. Still though, a strong evocation of emotion, and really on prompt!

Adding to what’s been said, I find the appearance of the crystal ball to be rather ominous, taken with her expression and that title. Top tier work.
