Remember when I said that I want to try and study other artist's art styles. (Yeah, that was a few days ago). So here's the 1st one.

Being a study on another artists style, using characters from an established franchise, the originality of the piece takes a hit, but since originality wasn't the goal here, that isn't a problem. The art style the piece is going for comes through well, as it's recognizable in both the visuals and the tone of the subject matter, making this a successful study.

The lines are confident and clean, and the anatomy, while stylized, is understandable and accurate. The colours are solid and accurate to the source, and also look nice together. The subject matter, while nothing new, is lighthearted and enjoyable, both to look at and consider. Even the smile on the picture of Celestia's face goes well both visually and in the context of the narrative.

The composition is also nice, giving us three easy, natural focal points that draw our attention to the most important parts of the image and a background that's simple but effective, giving us the suggestion of a wall without getting bogged down in technical details. This lets the image look clean and simple, and also serves to give a subtle centering effect to the picture that bring the whole thing together.

All in all, a nice piece, a good study, and a fun concept.
