Vision: I can really tell what you were going for here. The drawing really could show a lot of things. It is really great, I have no words.
Originality: I think this is very original. However, when people draw Trixie, they do draw doing magic, flowing cape, and front hooves in the air. So half a star off. But your style does suit Trixie.
Technique:I honestly felt you could've done better with the sparkles. They're just transparent lines all around, I just don't feel it. Otherwise, this looks fantastic, Queenie. The style, hair, cape, shading, all of it.
Impact:You can really see that you put a lot of work into this. The expression kind of gives me a feel that she keeps trying, but something wrong always happens. She can never really get what she truely wants, but will always give it her all.
Other crap that I don't wanna organize:And the strings that are supposed to attach the jewel to the cape aren't there. The background is simple, boring, but fitting. I do like the magic and the feel of the unused space. But her front legs are too short, and her back legs don't look very much like pony legs. Also, I would suggest making the outlines kinda match the shading (I.E. Pinker the outlines where the pink shines), and her teeth are uncoloured. Overall, it's a really great piece, Olivia, and I can't wait to see more art.
The coloring job on this one seems great, and the mane, tail, and cloak are well done to suggest that Trixie is gonna cause quite a mess.
Sometimes, part of making great art is not just being able to use space, but being able to make use of unused space (i.e. negative space). We could move Trixie to the right so her eyes are 1/3rds of the width of this piece from the left edge. We can easily think of the edges of a piece to be a little wall, and cropping too closely to a character can make a piece feel... cramped. Moving Trixie with compositional techniques in mind like that should probably make this piece feel more dynamic.
Anatomy-wise, we ought to be more careful about leg proportions. They are differently shaped. The back legs are also proportioned to look like human legs. What would the legs look like if you drew what's cropped out? Whatever it looks, it would look really odd and will probably look longer than the front legs. I also think Trixie could benefit from having white teeth considering the sort of coloring style you went with. If you didn't shade this, leaving them uncolored might work better IMO.
Overall, it kinda feels like one of those pieces I can't really have any strong opinions as this isn't particularly bad, save for the slightly cramped cropping to our left and some weird leg anatomy. While I can't be completely sure how moving Trixie to the right would change my impression, but if there's still something missing, there's the possibility of including a second character to create a little story with just one image.
