>frontal nudity, cameltoe, uploaded as questionable with no "nudity" tag

Keep up the good work, bronies.

I don't care about the nudity tag, but "ugly_as_sin" would be appropriate here.

I wanted to keep this one "kinda" Classy... but I'll do that when I have the time, fair enough?

Your hyperbolic rambling aside, Sono, this is no more human-looking than a show-style cartoon pony. It's humanoid, but the facial structure, eyes, and witch's claws aren't aesthetically pleasing in the least.

Well, I like to see this work completed someday.

I'm not going to bash this, but I do feel it needs some heavy critiquing:
The talons are the biggest issue. That's just almost scary. Just cutting off the points and rounding them down will go a HUGE way towards making the entire picture look much better. It's not just that they don't look attractive, but I also feel like they don't suit her character either.
The other major issue is how the eyes sorta pop out beyond the outline of her face. It makes her look particularly alien. I don't know what exactly changed from your original sketch (>>61017) but the eyes definitely seemed to fit better in the sketch.
There's also something about that greenish color you're using for her lips that just doesn't seem to flatter her at all. Maybe something a bit closer to the blue range might be a bit more flattering here. The more I look at it, the more her lips look even greener than her nipples, so if that's the case, taking her lips and bringing them closer to the same color as her nipples might go a long way here.
I also feel like her horn is too long/thin, at least judging by your concepts of Rarity and Twilight that you've already done. Hair is also a bit tall too, but I think that's more of a type of stylistic trademark that all your drawings share.

As an additional note; I'd love to see bonbon added with her, but not doing anything explicit, merely have her sitting with her shoulder under lyra's knee with her cheek and arm resting against lyra's thigh, maybe looking towards the "viewer" out of the corner of her eye. I think that would look erotic, yet still retain that "classy" feel you're aiming for.

I do particularly love the design of her necklace, and I just generally like how the shape of her breasts(upturned nipples) feels very different than breasts from any of your other designs.

Out of curiosity, is there any chance you could do a shaded version where you don't add all the super heavy highlights that ends up making it look like they're either covered in oil or lacquer? I personally find the heavy shine you put on most of your work to actually be more distracting than arousing. I think it's the main reason that I actually like your sketches and unfinished work better than your finished pieces too.

All of your points are well stated, taken into consideration, and are all valid! Thank you! However a lot of them are "personal preference" points... and I can't make /everyone/ happy... That being said, I did go and rework her lip color a bit! Thanks!

While it's also a "personal preference" suggestion, BonBon WAS heavily considered for the image! I desperately tried to make it work... But I'm constrained by project dimensions and theme. Full figures are a must, and 11x17 is a must. Cramming two full figures on such a vertical canvas, while keeping one in a sitting pose, ended up looking very awkward even after dozens of sketches... and for little pay off...

It's not like BonBon won't be in the book, though! Think of it as both of them getting "designed" for this project, individually, so they can hump it up later on a canvas that I can do whatever I want with!

^^ I had heard about your book, but I wasn't sure what your constraints were for that. I usually try to make sure my critiques are as constructive as possible, so if any of that helped you in any way, then I'm satisfied.
