Which version of this fan art is better?

[Pix3M 607]

While it's not finished, it's starting to look very presentable to people at this point. I want some input though (and feel free to give constructive criticism if you're able).

 

Which scale do you like best?

 

1x unscaled:

 

 

 

or 2x scaled?

I like it unscaled. What was the inspiration? It looks very nice, but it seems kind of strange. What exactly am I seeing here?

[Lacey Shadows 164]

The second bigger one is better. I think mostly because I can see it better, and the fact it just has that old school feel

[False Perception 482]

Personally, I like it unscaled, because it's easier to take in all at once, and pixel art is generally smaller so as to be sharper, cleaner, and better looking overall.

I like it better unscaled but either way it looks absolutely amazing and just curious what with the little wind swirly thingy above fluttershys tail?

[SonOfTheNorthe 412]

It's hard to choose. The first one seems cleaner and smoother, but it's really tiny.

The second one doesn't look as good, but it's size makes up for it. It's also got that...feel.. to it.

I like them both very much. It doesn't really matter to me. But I guess I'll pick the unscaled one

It's a crossover (hope I'm using the term right) between Fluttershy and Maplestory. She's wearing equipment that can be found in the game, has a little summon unique to the wind archer class, and she has a little pet snail that every character can get for free but will expire after some point (because the gaming company wants to use it to lure people into spending real money for a better, more interesting pet )

I prefer the smaller unscaled version. The outfit is different, but I like it. And, well, it's Fluttershy, so it's cool right there

[Filly Pinkie Pie 208]

I like the smaller one, because the small size makes it less easy to be recognized as pixels.

[Veiled Enigma 389]

Fluttershy looks very adorable in this.

 

It looks better unscaled, imo. It's much smoother and looks better quality.

The scaled version does have that slighty pixelated look though, which also looks pretty awesome.

I'd say unscaled. What it lacks in size, it makes up for in clarity.

 

Anddd... Fluttershy is so cute in this ^^
