Well, she's cute, I'll give you that.

Gradients are just a turn off though.

Yup gradient is bad, bad taste.

Also, find a way to make the mane's shape less contrived but still messy looking (Look at how they did it for Pinkie's). Remember, this is a cartoon, you need to synthetize and simplifie shapes as much as possible.

Not sure about the taint of the mane, you may want a browner black to better complement the yellow.

The blue of the eyes is a bit boring and predictable. Surely you can find a better blue which would contrast with the yellow fur. Slighty purple-ish blue perhaps?

Otherwise it is an interesting OC, if imperfect, I'd like to see a revised version of it.

Wow, overly critical anons. Let's see you churn something better out.

Anyways, an otherwise wonderful drawing and design.

@anonymous3 That was constructive criticism. Creators always appreciate. What they do with it is their own business.

Furthermore, actual artistic skills are irrevelant to artistical judgement; some of the greatest artists are really poor judge when it come to look at the work of their pairs and great critics with profound insight, something I am certainly not claiming to be, are not good artist.

Beside, common courtesy and good intelligence command, when accusing somebody of overdoing something, to point out the elements in his argument that would justify such claim. Otherwise the critic is just left thinking that his detractor has a juvenile aversion against any sort of critical thinking.

I do like the general aesthetic, and I love the messy hair, but Anon 457 has a point in that it's very hard to use a design like that repeatedly. If you are up for the effort, go for it.

I do not think 457 is right about much else though. Gradients are often used as a short cut, but this OC's artist has obviously done the leg gradients manually and I think that the overall effect is interesting. I'm sort of torn on the staging of the gradient, but I could go either way.

As to dismiss the eye color? Especially because its "boring?" Even if I agreed with the assessment, I could come up with a couple reasons to do it (off the top of my head, a concern that the design has gotten to busy, and the desire for an eye pop (no pun intended) without any hold for flow reasons).

I'd rather see the artist do a second piece with her than to fiddle around with this one trying to reach perfection.
