Fulfill your Destiny

[Foxx 258]

Hey there guys! This is my newest artwork, featuring a whole bunch of colors! I have nothing much to say, so just have a look for yourself! Oh, yeah and I'd really love some helpful critiques and comments! I appreciate getting bombed with brohoofs but it would mean all the more to me if you take the time to write a thoughtful comment.

Please keep in mind that I'm not an artist at all, but I'll try to write the most helpful critique I can. I do have some (limited) experience with art history and art theory and such.
 
Overall, this picture is beautiful. I think you did a very good job. I love the effervescence of the rainbow, and I feel it is rightly the focal point of the composition. The overall sameness of the surrounding mountains and the ground help draw the observer's eye toward that rainbow and the sun above it.
 
I feel you did an excellent job with lighting and color.
 
Regarding Twilight, her visible wing seems disproportionately large in relation to her body. Additionally, her body is at a bit of a confusing angle. Her other wing is barely visible, and half of her body is hidden behind the visible wing. 
 
I'm pretty sure I see the effect you were going for, though: Twilight looking over her shoulder. 
 
My main suggestion would be to draw Twilight in a more organic manner, including placing her in a more natural position. Perhaps she could be looking up at the rainbow, or face the viewer in the center of the composition with the rainbow as a backdrop. One factor that could help determine which one you choose would be whether you wanted Twilight or the rainbow to be the focal point of the composition.
 
Additionally, is Twilight standing on a mountain? The two structures bounding the composition to appear to be mountains. What she's standing on looks similar, but it doesn't look raised above the ground. 
 
If she is standing on a mountain, you could enhance its depicted dimension to fortify the fact in the viewer's eyes that Twilight is high above the ground. If she's not on a mountain, it might be best to have her standing on grass or something to tie in more smoothly with her surroundings. 
 
These are just my personal opinions, though. Overall, I think you did a wonderful job. The picture is very beautiful and effervescent, and I'd love to see more of your work.

That picture looks really great! 

 

My one gripe is that Twilight's right wing looks a little disjointed...

I'm afraid I'm not good at critiquing, but I just wanted to say that I really love how you did the sky. The clouds, the rainbow, and the sun all look so pretty

That is one huge piece of wing. KFC would love it.
