This actually started out as a doodle. It was fun to make. To all bronies, take a look around for a few easter eggs. Just for credit, the vinyl art is album art by Silva and General Mumble (check them on youtube, they make awesome songs)

Vision: When I think of the term "vision" I always think in the concept of how something like this would look in the real world. When I go to a concert and I see flashing lights everywhere I see some things stand out more so than others. And that is obviously due to how the lighting is set up. It is there for some things to stand out and others to blend in. That's what I see as far as how the "vision" of this piece goes. In a big concert hall where several strobe lights are flashing and the bass is turned up to abnormally high levels, one would see something very similar to this. So I give it a fairly high rating on vision.
Originality: Now although I disagree with Scootawho on a lot of his points he does bring up a point about originality. But I don't view originality as only what was drawn but also in how technique was used. You mixed and matched several different styles into one that I personally feel meshes well. But this once again goes from my past experiences in night clubs and other such things. I found the mix and match style to be far more original than the work that attempts to mimic the style of the show. It's art right? why make it look exactly the same when you can create something using a different style or several different styles. Now of course points are docked because there is some unoriginality in the piece but that's to be expected when creating fan art.
Technique: This is where I would have to disagree with Scoot a lot. As I mentioned before when in a night club dancing and watching the strobe lights, everything seems to blend in a weird way. But the things that always seem to stand out are the speakers, the DJ, and anything that has a light source. All of this is represented in an almost shocking way in this picture. Without Scratch standing there I would guess that this was a drawing explaining how they wanted the set up for the stage to look. The mixing of different styles is actually very appealing to me as it helps create a focus on important factors of the picture.
Impact: As I've said before the picture reminds me of when I spent time in night clubs. It makes me feel as if everyone there is having a good time. Scratch is showing off and dancing around the stage putting on a show. It honestly makes me want to be there enjoying the music. I wouldn't say it's the best Scratch picture I've ever seen but it is damn good. So yea... that's all I gotta say. Looking forward to whatever else you create.
I'll begin with this: stunning and professional. I have never seen such a cool pose for this side character on DA, the action and mood in the picture is exactly the way I would picture it if it were a part of the MLP: FiM show.
How you make it seem so believable is what amazes me, I love all the background that you placed in and the words "louder" in the background.
The only suggestions I would make would be simple clean up, refine some blurry lines and uneven structures. Once that's done, you've got nothing else to worry about.
I only hope you won't let other harsh critics down talk this fine piece, don't let anyone fool you- this is very prestigious work.
I only hope that you will make many more pieces inspired by the MLP series, your contributions are a great benefit to the fandom
Easter Eggs.... Hmmm..... Her eyes are red in this picture but that's not much of an easter egg SANDVICH! Her glasses... are they meant to be that shape? I don't think they're that round One thing about dem speakers.... I actually supplied them. Not equestrian innovations. I am Equestria's sound engineer after all How'd I go?
There was, but I took it down as there were a few who abused it and were selling it. If you like to have a higher res version as a wallpaper just PM me.
