I don't support Sparkler as Derpy's daughter, so I love the explanation

I think you meant Sparkler as Dinky's sister. (Sisterhooves Social)

Eh, Derpy's daughter, Dinky's sister, same thing. Plus, I hear about divorced couples a lot; my best friend and current crush only have one parent, and I don't really enforce the ideas of either/both of them coming from anypony other Derpy and The Doctor. It's just wording.

Great job. Although I think you might have overdone it with the shading. Don't get me wrong it looks fantastic, sometimes I think I could reach in and touch Derpy, but the problem is the characters pop out a bit too much from the background. Once again, it's still good overall, but I'd suggest going easier on the shading next time.

Good advice. I can always go back and tone back the shading. I still have the PSD photoshop file, and since I put the shading on it's own layer it's easy to do.

You're welcome. Also, here's another piece of advice that I learned in a coloring class, try using other colors for the shadows besides black. Black is okay sometimes but if you look at shadows in real life you'll notice that not all of them are black or gray. For example if you're coloring a blue character try shading the character with a darker blue or green or another color that compliments the blue.

True, I didn't consider that.
Thanks for the advice. I am such a noob at this stuff.
