Lauren Faust: The God Empress of all Ponykind

Description

After one month and a broken tablet, Lauren Faust is finished in all her glory!!
This is a prime example of sacrificing posing and background in favor of caking on as much detail as humanly possible!
Sadly due to the size of this image I had to scale it down a tad, though I don't think that it has affected the overall detail too badly.

Hope you like it, comments and critique are appreciated greatly :D

Vision: I understand what you were aiming for at this- probably a more advanced version of pony society, and, judging by the armor, a world of ponies where war is more likely to occur, a world with less harmony. This is much better than what I expect anyone else to think of for that theme, and, while the armor is much more advanced than what we normally see in the magical world of Equestria, it also references to things we may see in the pony world- for example, the headress, which we see in places like Rainbow Dash's gala dress as well as the little thing-a-majig that you can win in the best young flier's competition.
Rating: 4 1/2 stars

Originality: While people may say that the Fausticorn design is unoriginal, I have seen Lauren Faust use her to represent herself, so that will not lower- or even affect at all- the originality score. I do not see many things that could possibly have been copied. It shows how powerful she would be if she were to be standing in front of us, while keeping it to sort of a limit- no super-cyborg-armor related things, yet much more advanced than the everyday Equestria that we see almost every Saturday.
Rating: 5 stars

Technique: The art is PERFECT. The only thing I could see (after looking closely) is that the tail doesn't look the exact same style as the mane, but only a bit different. However, the shading is excellent, giving off that metallic feel to the armor. Every strand in Fausticorn's mane represents perfection. And- man, I like this picture WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much.
Rating: 5 stars

Impact: Looking at this picture is like looking at a real, living, breathing pony. The power I can see in this picture makes me feel weak, but I can't stop looking at it (DANG, I like art waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much). Basically, it's PERFECT.

Conclusion: DANG, that's a lot of stars!
