I can't be entirely sure what was intended, but here's a thought:
It should be noted that this small nose and relatively large iris creates what I suggested - something that looks rather cute to a lot of people. If we truly want something that looks fearsome and tyrannical, it may be worth considering using larger nose and a smaller iris or smaller eye. A larger nose is seen in adult humans while infants have smaller noses, thus the usual stylization of shrinking the nose but exaggerating the eyes which creates a cute appearance. A smaller eye and a smaller iris is more difficult to relate to as the usual reason why something would have proportionally small eyes is if they are a really big, dangerous animal like a lion.
We could also consider a longer neck as I'm more used to seeing legs are are just half a pony's height. A longer neck also gives us a smaller head which makes this guy look bigger and more menacing.
What I find pretty impressive here is the lighting though. It feels convincingly real. Although... what's causing the highlights on some the King's greaves though? Doesn't make much sense, but probably a minor one as removing them wouldn't be as interesting.
We could also make do without the spike next to the King's foot as they make his back leg a bit difficult to make out. That leg also appears a bit thicker than his other back leg though, just an observation.
Overall, a beautiful piece that may or may not have made the right impression on people due to the proportions which the artist went with.
First of all, amazing drawing. I love the shading and depth and detail and everything. Having his hoof on the Crystal Heart (at least I think that's what it is) was a good touch.
However, I do admit he looks somewhat feminine. It's not so obvious that it makes the drawing bad, but creating a more masculine tone would help it become better.
The background is fantastic. I noticed that there are stairs in the background, alluding to his apparent obsession.
Overall, great drawing. 4.8 stars overall.
Keep it up!
