It's not always easy to admit that you've made a mistake, especially when you're really young. We love being mischievous and hate getting caught. But when you accidently do something like wreck a precious item that belongs to someone you love, you know how serious the situation is.



Spike's face in this piece makes you feel instantly sorry for him. You know he should've known better than to play ball indoors, but, at the same time, you can see how afraid he is. The way he's nervously gripping his tail, the way Twilight, though a filly, stands over him like a giant, makes this piece feel so intense — and this is back when he and Twilight were kids!



This piece is simple and I love it that way. The few elements, and especially that glossy black ink, do a great job of establishing the scene. I don't know why, but I really love that spilt ink bottle.



Whatever transpired that day, it was a learning experience for both Spike and Twilight: Spike for learning to follow rules and be more careful, and Twilight for learning that Spike is still young and still learning to be responsible. And, lastly, both learning that, no matter what, nothing can destroy their bond. Sometimes we get in trouble or argue, but love can overcome such petty things.



Good job, dSana!
