You know I love you and your work Chiaro, but this is the first time I've seen inconsistencies from your work. That being said, I appreciate the time consuming detail you put into the scales. It really shows that you cared about this piece, otherwise what would be the point. Also the fact that you did this traditionally is very refreshing, since this is the first Grownup Spike picture to-date that I have seen, that was traditional.

The impact and emotions we are supposed to feel in this scene are solid, and well done. Im enjoying the sheen from the detailing of the lower jaw and underbelly, and the lack of a solid ground or horizon line helps a little to suggest the gravity of the situation.
Unfortunately, the biggest distraction of this piece is that it has very inconsistent line-work that messes with your sense of foreground/background. On top of that The visual strength of the dark black lines on Spike's neck and shoulder give him the feel of being in the foreground, but his head and spikes and back are in the background, Having dark thick line-work on the tail was a perfect choice, and I'm sure many will agree. But you didn't apply the same lines to Rarity's outline making her look faded and in the background.

Im sorry to do this to you and I know that this took you a while, but I have to point this out to you.

Meant to write one of these last night, but for some reason the critique thing wouldn't show up on my screen. Weird. Ah well, it's here now, that's what matters. :nod:

VISION: I believe the vision is pretty good on this. Drawing all of those scales was ambitious as hell, and I very much like it. Very impressive. :)

ORIGINALITY: While not really a very original idea (GreedySpike and Rarity has been done many times), it's still a pretty unique take on it. I particularly like how smug Spike looks, rofl.

TECHNIQUE: As always, your technique is incredibly astounding. I really don't see any flaws with the execution. Have I mentioned I love the scales? Excellent job!

IMPACT: Your style always leaves an impression, and this picture is no exception. While I may not be a fan of the Sparity ship, I can still appreciate great art like this. :D

Overall, fantastic job! I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next. :nod:

Well, look at that another great moment from a great episode captured to perfection in this pic! First I must start saying that Rarity looks cute to the highest exponent! God, that worried look in her face and that blush make her look just to adorable. For Spike, well he looks pretty, sorry for this if there is any inconvinience, badass! And the scales make him look more like a realistic dragon. The clouds on this pic are very well done, I just loved the way you did them. Well, not going to make more blah, blah. Amazing job!
