She's cute, yes, but there's little logic on this pony, and I've seen a LOT of really horrible ponies, considering I frequent TP.
The problems that I see right away are the wings and the mane/tail. Not only do all those colors NOT go together at all in the way you have them, much less the clashing styles (simple shaded/highlighted, simple flat, and glossy), but they just simply don't fit. The green tail doesn't go with the pink-blue mane, period, and it doesn't fit the pink-white theme of the body. The blue wings are out of the question. Stick with the theme, pink or white.
Otherwise you have way too many colors and it just doesn't blend, especially in the format you have them.
Color-clashing aside, having solid-color wings look really bad, and it's a mistake a lot of pony OC makers end up doing. I even did it by accident when I first drew Silvermoon. Unless you have a nice big splotch on the sides/back, it looks like you cut off Rainbowdash's wings and glued them onto your pony, which... nobody wants that.
If you want to keep the blue (which I again emphasize you change it to pink), make the base of the wings white like the body, and then either fade the color in, or make the feathers colored.
As far as the style, since I did mention it, everything from the hind legs forward looks good, but I feel like you over-glossed the tail. That wouldn't be bad if the rest of the body matched, but the fact is that it doesn't. You literally have four different shading styles for each part of the pony.
The wings are simple, flat, and cel-shaded. There's no rounding of the feathers or joints with shadow or highlight. Similar to a minimalist-like style.
The body has minimal basic shading, no highlights, and is generally simple.
The mane has minimal basic shading, noticable highlights, and looks almost plastic.
The tail, finally, has shaping basic shading that is so deeply blended that it's hard to tell where specifically it parts from the main color, but you can tell it's there. Unlike the wings, body, and mane, the shading is not used for parting it from pieces of similar color (i.e. white legs from white body), and the highlighting is wider and longer than the hightlighting in the mane, making it stand out more.
Mixing and matching CAN look good when done right, such as different objects being shaded differently. You can see in a lot of anime especially, characters are shaded and detailed differently from backdrops and sometimes items.
The shading differences might be noticably now, but more than anything I want to emphasize what I said about the colors. If you're going to change anything about this pony, it NEEDS to be the colors of the wings and tail. The mane, when comparing it to the body, seems fine.

Here. Try to leave a critique on this Design on a more recently accurately depicted Cosmic Alicorn.

This art style is old, this one is my new one, and her design has not changed other than that she no longer has a cutie mark.

I absolutely adore your style on this cosmic alicorn! While the concept is very nice, the cutie mark is all too common. Many people can only think of brushes and pencils when you think up artists. The mismatching tail and mane are quite odd, even if many characters do that. The eye color could have been lightened up a bit or darkened to a magenta. The wings are quite similar to old time unicorn and flying horses. The fetlocks are okay because the color choice for them are quite amazing. I hope this critique didn't affect your hard work. Bye.

This was posted on TP with my name, this happens sometimes when someone is, for example, in your gallery, then it click in one of your deviations and then it clicks in a deviation from "More from Deviantart", so it sometimes the link still looks like it's in your gallery, like this

This deviation isn't mine, it's yours

-Art is a very common talent nowadays. Possibly something that fit the name "Cosmic".
-The mane and tail don't match. I lie the colors in the mane better.
-I think she would look cute as a unicorn.
-The colors honestly are pretty good, except the tail and the eyes.
-If you do keep the wings, maybe make them white.

How the hell did this get on terrible ponies? She's really adorable

Okay, it's official. Some of the submitters at TP must be out of their minds. This is really adorable.
The only thing that's really out of place in my opinion is the green tail. It's the only green on her entire body, so I would probably either change the color on the tail or add more green to her somewhere.Β
But other than that, this is honestly the cutest alicorn OC I've seen! So good job! I also love your style!

I agree. I love her mane! She's adorable!
Personally, I would have her be a unicorn or pegasus, but she's not mine; I don't really care if someone owns an alicorn.
Unlike some people. *cough* TP *cough*

Someone just posted this to Terrible Ponies. I'm here to inform you so that you could go to the blog (here:Β terribleponies.tumblr.com/ ) as if you ask, they'll take it down for you, and you'll want to, because trust me, trolls will surely come through that link, so hurry.
Sorry it was posted there, she looks pretty to me
