It's supposed to be a pony piece. The pony in this piece is beyond fugly. Shouldn't have been accepted. Probably should have been laughed at. Tell the artist to go make landscapes.
Do you always blame other people for the poor quality of your art?
It's mediocre. No interesting lighting, no interesting colouring, it is obvious you don't spend a great deal of time on them, no interesting poses, ugly lines, zero shading and showing few signs of improvement. You're not even humble, you don't seem to see anything wrong with your own work.
Why don't you ignore what other people are doing and try improving your work?
Somebody had to say it. Insulting art that in my opinion is better than yours in every way except anatomy is just crossing the line.
