I'm not sure why, but I was never too fond of the bat-race Ponies. I think it has to do with their dark coats. I prefer lighter colors, myself. The somewhat intimidating wings don't help, either. Standard Pegasi wings look better, in my opinion.
Anywho, that doesn't mean that this piece is bad. on the contrary, it's still very alluring, especially that tongue lick.
I wonder what that pendant off to the left is, though...
Also, I've never paid much attention to it, but this is the first time I notice you drawing the, uh... how do I explain it? That short part of the tail that's not hair. The small sharp part that the tail is growing out of and allows the Pony to move the tail. Know what I mean?
Have you always drawn that?
I'm always a bit split on that part. For one, it adds realism, which is good. It looks more natural. ...But for some reason, I like it better if the tail just magically comes out of the tail end of the spine, just like it does on the show.

Just letting you know that part of the tail is typically called the dock. It's not so much that the dock is short or sharp like a deer tail, it actually reaches the knees. It's just that the hair doesn't grow long underneath the base for obvious (hygiene) reasons, so only a small portion is exposed. From Wiki: "The dock consists of the muscles and skin covering the coccygeal vertebrae. The term "skirt" refers to the long hairs that fall below the dock."

Its my first time drawing the tail dock. I kind of like it, it does give it a touch more detail! I will probably draw them more often here and there. Sometimes I like simplicity too!

Ah, so I wasn't crazy for only noticing the dock just now! This is your first time!
Wow, that looks good. Not sure if I would want it (if it were even available). I don't mind having a bust, but I think her muzzle is too... horse-like.
Now, that's a strange negative trait for a Pony to have! I just like the cute round muzzles more than the longer and squarer ones. (And i guess I like bigger eyes as well.)
But as I said, it does look amazing. There's no two ways about that.
