This looks really awesome! Great perspective as always, and I like how the crystallization came out. Makes me want to try drawing a Crystal Pony now.

I have no words for this.

This is seriously beautiful McDerp! So beautiful that I had to correct my spelling of from 'beuatifl' to 'baeuthfl' to finally slowing down and spelling it correctly. You use the colors and shading very well, I can clearly see where the lines used to be. And the detail of the hair is amazing!

I'm pretty sure I had more to say at one point or another, but my mind's been blown beyond comprehension. So I'mma just go now.

This is amazing! I especially love the details in the hair.

Thanks, that really means a lot to me! This picture without the darkened mask overtop shows a little more of the detail that went into the hair. It definitely took me a long time, but only a little bit longer than it took me to shade the skin.

I find it kinda funny that all the likes for this picture are all from (presumably) girls.

This is what happens when I go through Zeig's art gallery..."You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day".

INKBRAND IS TOTALLY PERVERTED.

Surprise gift art! Just about the one thing better than gift art.

I like the softer shading you have going on here! I feel like it adds an extra three-dimensionalness to the awesome perspective of the picture. Thanks a bunch for the drawing!

Inkbrand: *steeples hooves together* Yes, yes, this pleases me.

Thank you both very much!

As for advice, not really sure what to say. When my other pictures are approved and uploaded, you'll see that I'm still struggling with both of those things myself - specifically faces, and even more specifically stallion faces. I say just look at references from the show or online tutorials to help you along!
