Description

Did this as a gift to a group of fans from Singapore down south, as they wanted art for a pony mascot for their Indian counterparts. Also inspired by >>1867171 and >>1867170

I appreciate the intention of presenting a culture that is different from the apparent fandom default, and the sunset shown here is beautiful. But that said, I do have to point out a little criticism that I hope would be constructive.
 
The representation of the characters seems a tad crude and childlike, with some slight proportional issues. The main things I would suggest working on are proportions (the pony on the bottom could use some longer legs to match with the forelegs and to match with each other) and shading, the latter serving to make the characters and props seem more like they belong to the scenery rather than looking like they were stickers slapped into the scene.
 
That said, do keep it up. You have a good start to being an artist. :-)
