Let me begin by saying that it took me almost 20 minutes to stop laughing at the expressions on Big Mac and Apple Bloom's faces. I have no idea what could be responsible, and I'm not entirely sure I want to... But I'd wager that either Rarity or Dash are involved and did something that caused AJ to snap like a starving tiger on cocaine.

Anyway, on to the critical stuff. I love the strong colors and clean lines. The use of old school line shading was also a nice touch. I don't think I've ever seen both it and the more pronounced shadows used together before.

Top marks all the way around. Vision, Originality, and Impact because of the expressions. I've had a couple of those moments in life where there simply are no words in any language I know, and an expression like that is all there is. I've even inspired a couple of those moments myself...

Technique for the mix of shading styles and lack of clutter that really makes said expressions that much more dramatic.
