You know, for this one, I would write a really thoughtful critique on what I love and what I don't love, but at this point there's nothing I don't love about it. I looked on the full-resolution image and couldn't find a single thing wrong besides one or two extra rough-draft markings that can be erased within two or three seconds and can be mistaken for extra details anyway. A nearly perfect masterpiece, as is to be expected from you, Wreky.

The ONLY thing that irks me about it is Chrysalis' drop shadow [that circle on the ground]. If the light is coming from the top right hand corner of the screen then the shadows should follow that light instead of casting straight down.
The thing is, even that is almost obsolete because not even the show does that!

So, in lieu of any sort of bad thing to say about it without help, I'm just gonna go by the ratings on this one.

Vision:
I've never really been sure what vision means in a work of art. I'm giving you a 4 out of 5 on the assumption that the vision means the idea for the initial work, and that it's incredibly difficult to get a 5 out of 5 on that definition of vision for a simple portrait of the Changeling Queen, however delightfully evil and original it may be.

Originality:
Speaking of originality.. Hmm, words fail me.. OH, I REMEMBER NOW.
5 out of 5. In particular because of the energy streaks emanating from her hooves, and because of the way you made her torso into a ribcage look, and how there's an empty spot where the heart is. Really opens up the imagination to possibilities. I personally like to think that that hole is where she keeps the love she steals from other ponies, and it's like the power core of her transformation into Cadance or other ponies. But that's just me.. [You know, someone could write a fanfic on every single one of your images, Wreky. You should be proud of yourself for that; I would give originality 6 out of 5 if I could.]

Technique:
Do I even need to repeat what I've said in your other critiques? YES, I DO, BECAUSE I LOVE SAYING IT.
5 out of 5. You know why?
Because I can't stress this enough: I. LOVE. YOUR. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. It's marvelous in every aspect imaginable. The holes in Chrysalis' mane and tail are beautifully done over and filled in to look as though they're tears. The wings are magnificent because they look feathered AND low-opacity?!?! IMPOSSIBRU! But awesome, really awesome, like so awesome that I think I might die.
So yeah, 5/5 for that.

Impact::
Just take my 5 out of 5 before I die from the impact this had on me.

Overall:
Wreky, for the hundredth time, I love this artwork. I love this artwork, I love everything about this artwork, and I love everything about your style of artwork. Please, for the love of Celestia, keep making these incredible drawings so that I can keep exploring my own creative and critical mind in these critiques, because honestly, they're the greatest MLP works I've ever seen, even if I can't use them in my own deviations.

Hats off to you, brony.
