Description
Commissioned by 
He commissioned me to draw the Bone Cousins(from left to right, Phoney Bone, Smiley Bone and Fone Bone) from Jeff Smith's graphic novel Bone (which happens to be my favorite Book). Before drawing this I had to think of which elements of the Bone cousins to pony-fy and which elements from the original designs to keep the same. I decided to give them pony noses instead of their traditional big round noses because I didn't want it to look like I just took the Bone cousin's heads and put them on pony bodies (that would just look weird). The elements I did keep from the original designs were their clothes, their eyes and their lack of hair (once again the Bones with hair would just look weird). I think I found a happy medium between the two styles.
It actually took me awhile to decide on which cutie mark to give Fone Bone before I settled on a map. I actually asked a friend of mine what she thought his cutiemark should be and her response was "Not poetry" (it's a reference that makes sense if you've read the comic).

Overall Vision
Originality Technique ImpactIt's really cute if I have to say. I never really read bone either but I have heard it was good though. I also love your style of drawing! Just the reactions of them are both cute and funny. I've looked at it a few times already and it's still funny to me. If there would be other versions they would probably be good too but this is a great version so far! Anyway its a great piece of artwork you've made! To me your art is just great in general. This was my first critique I hope it was alright.
