There’s nothing uncanny valley about this, that only applies to human faces. Though whether or not it’s uncanny is subjective, personally I think it looks great.

Ah gotta love classic Derpibooru

this is the right kind of uncanny valley

This is absolutely beautiful!

has no trouble with mornings despite being up all night

Actually it should say “Der FRÜHE Vogel kann mich mal!”.  
The saying goes “Der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm!”

She is just…. incredible. Literally, incredible.

DONT MIND ME JUST GONNA THROW ANOTHER FAV ONTO THEP PILE

Hm. Bit late, but hey.
 
Unflattering works. In all honesty, your style is creepy-looking, with bizarre asymmetry and squished faces; I don’t know what missed context you’re implying, but it’s not likely to have any bearing at all.
 
Not that I’m advocating uncredited work regardless of the skill involved — I find it as distasteful as anyone. I just think that too big a deal is made over it in such situations.. Some people could do with a little more patience and grace, :)

Such beautiful…everything. Especially the eyes.

Exquisite.

It was updated after BunnyCat commented, and several days after I called out my collaborator on uploading the piece signed by herself alone and presented her with an updated version with my own watermark.
 
If you search around the web, you’ll find several instances of the picture without it.

I smell drama

@BunnyCat  
You can see the watermark on the bottom and what it says right?

@Vox  
I don’t think that is nice or fair for you to say, not to mention unflattering for me and my work. But then again, I’m assuming that you lack context.

I didn’t notice that this pic has so many up-votes, now it is fifth in the all top scoring list.  
Congratulations.

this bullshit

@Blissey1  
Really? WHOHOO!

More like (im german) ,,the late bird …can screw me’’

@Background Pony #9C1E  
Nope, cause NOBODY GIVES A BUCK

@BunnyCat  
I don’t think you appreciate how skillful this shading is. The linework is great and all, but it’s nothing compared to how well this is painted.
 
Your friend should feel lucky to have contributed to this at all.

very VERY impressive, but the wing is like.. they gave up on the wing.. it’s a shaded shape with feather lines.
