critique wanted Are the outline colours correct in this image?

To the left, you'll see my avatar, some mlp vector art I made myself. It's supposed to look show-accurate, but I was wondering... are the outline colours correct? I used the mlp pony creator to assist in the colouration, something I regret after realizing how terrible that pony creator is.

...Did I post this in the correct place?

Looks great actually.  I think you got it bang-on.  If I was to question any of them, it would be the eyebrow should match the mane, but even then I am not sure if that would look better or worse.  That may be because I don't often see eyebrows in the show given their art style.  Outside of that though, I think it's bang on!

I think the colors are fine but you might want to thicken the stroke lines. I don't know, I just feel like the show uses a lot of lines that have a lot of thickness compared to the size of an object.

It's because they use weighted lines.  Thin to thick, which is how they give the illusion of depth, and being a profile shot, it feels like there isn't many specific places where the weighted lines would apply.  Good catch!

Yeah, on second thought, I think weighting the lines any further on this image might make it too weight-y.

 

By no means is it bad or totally inaccurate, but there's just something I can't put my finger on that makes this profile image different from the show style.

I think if the EXTERNAL lines were thicker by a little bit it would solve that.  All the lines are uniform, but on the show the silhouette lines are marginally thicker than the internal details.  

Another factor:  The show uses alot of curves, but his image uses some straigh-edges and hard points that are not often seen in the show
