Select those elements and rescale to see if you have a point. I would never draw big eyes on a pony myself, but in this style it seems to be the optimal size. I can easily adore them. I’m very curious about his new drawing. It will probably look different, and certainly very good.
Like I said, I really think it’s really high-quality work. I think everything else about it is gorgeous, including the lip bite. Whether or not the artist was “going for” something isn’t always the most important factor to consider. I’m not sure it’s nitpicking if it has the effect of turning something that should have been truly a favorite into something that’s slightly disturbing. For me at least. I don’t think changing the size of the teeth would be a huge undertaking if the artist did want to change it based on that observation. The eyes could probably be shrunk about 5-10% without too much trouble, although I think that’s less of a distraction than the teeth. That’s of course the trouble when you work in a highly-detailed style–there’s more room for distraction/error.
But if the artist really is “going for” this look, more power to him/her. It’s really good. I just thought I’d share my opinion.
Those are good points, but I saw early sketches by the artist and I know that he was going for such look. I am certain that he achieved perfection and now it’s up to you if you appreciate the beauty or continue nitpicking as if the things you mention could be done better in this particular drawing. They could not be done better.
For me it is not only the most delightful piece of art in MLP community, but of all art that exists.
I can live with this scenario.
I’m no expert, and it’s hard to judge and you really have to try not be be unkind with this sort of stuff. Take what I say with a pinch of salt, please, but what I see:
– The effect seems to be made greater due to the pillow and hair intersecting the shape of her face near the bottom, making it appear narrower at the base
– she could just as easily be resting her chin on the pillow.

There’s a lot in this. They seem a little small for her face somehow, and rather sharply defined and discontinuous still. Softened edges and remembering that darker areas are necessarily less sharp to the eye may help?
Eh, I dunno.
