The many faces of some cheerful mares

Description

Yyyep, there's more! I did these three between the various faces of Lapis. These were all done after angry Lapis, and before derp Lapis, as sort of breaks in between the troubles I had with his hair. Each of these hairs came out... much much better than Lapis's did, and took me far less effort and trouble, and Grassy's is the only head of hair that gave me very much of a problem, and it was really only the highlighting. The rest was pretty alright. Chatter's hair sparkles/bubbles are really tricky, though, and I expect a certain someone's gonna give me a "hrmm" on that when he gets back home soon :iconderpyponyplz:

Critique and opinions still requested, and any input you guys can give me. I'd appreciate it :iconfluttershyblushplz:

Overall I really like this piece,or better saying...those pieces.
First thing I noticed and admired about this piece is that you really nailed the show style.If you aim for show-accuracy,you did really well.I have just a few things to point out about show-accuracy.The open-eyed mares' eyes are a bit small,although the size of the closed-eyed one is just perfect.A tricky thing about MLP ponies is that the eyes are huge and the space between the eyes is less than one eye.A minor thing is that the uni horns are a bit too pointy for the MLP style and have just three segments,at least for common unicorns.

Another thing I noticed you did really well is the AA. Nearly everything is very smooth and well-done.
I just noticed you put some extra pixels together in the right part of the grey mare's hair.It could use some cleaning and AA as well. The shading seems soft and nice but the light dots around it seem a bit off.Dithering?
The orange mare's hair shading seems okay,but as there is a lot of contrast between the highlight color and the base color,I'd reccomend a bit of AA there as well.
The green mare's hair shading is just perfect. Nice contrast,good color choice and nice AA.

Another thing It's nice to point out is the color palette. I notice the colors you chose for shading are just darker colors of the base. A hue shift in the shading makes a more interesting palette.For example,shading gray with a purple-ish grey or shading green with a blueish green and highlighting with a yellow-ish hue. That really gives more life to the sprite and creates a more interesting color scheme. You should give it a try!

Hope to have have helped you out with some observation and words!
