(Forgive me for the half-assed title)

So, I'm really glad I finished painting this! :D I've wanted to draw a pic of Blueblood and Macintosh for ages. Also, tried out a bit of a more, sketchier style. I want my own, original style too that people will copy and pass as their own so I can be mad at them too! :lol: It's not a drastic change, just abusing the Pencil Sketch brushes for a rougher feel and a sliiiiiightly stylised pony structure. I tried using more curved lines for Mac, and more angular lines for Blueblood, while hinting at their difference in the fetlocks (Mac's are more rough, wheras Blueblood's are well kept and clean). Again, not that noticable, but I'm trying. ^^;

I hope you guys like it. :D

First off... YES! this is just fantastic artwork and i commend you for such an epic piece of pony art.

Your style is, well, hard to put my finger on. while it does yell of one's interpretation on the MLP style, it still stays pretty true to the source material, and I do like the fetlock details.

Now I can't give full points for originality to a fanart... it's just the way my mind works, and I'm not really sure what brought you to draw this... maybe there's a fanfic out there, or other artwork you've seen of them... as great as a piece as this is, it just feels a bit random to me so 4 for Vision as well

The feel of the whole piece turned this into an instant favorite for me, just the thought of them duking it out for whatever reason. It also made me instantly think MictheMicrophone (If you don't know that Brony, he working on a piece featuring these two on youtube).

great job and keep up the good work

I love this piece. It is charged with emotion, highly detailed and is extremely well executed. It has depth, fantastic line, consistency, uses back lighting, all of my favorite things.

You have captured Mac's righteous indignation over Bluebloods' mistreatment of Rarity, and you portray the prince's arrogance and disdain for the common working pony. Beyond that, you encapsulate class struggle in a single moment in time. Pony art as fine art, that's what I'm talking about! I don't have enough brohoofs for you.

Just searching hard for something to actually criticize, Blueblood's eyebrow seems a bit hard and straight in contrast with the rest of the piece. Perhaps that is accentuated by the light/dark contrast. Mac is just freaking perfect.

And I am totally jealous. Just letting you know. :D
