Feedback needed - Anthro ponies

Hey there, first time that I post here in the forums :D
 
So, I have been drawing a bunch of anthropomorphized ponies the past few days. I personally really like how they turned out but a friend of mine told me, that their faces are creepy … so I would like to get a bit more feedback on that.  
Please note that this is about the designs and the style, not about my artistic craftsmenship.  
_{Also, my scanner was not too friendly with the colours, I tried to rescue what there is, but the colours look much better in real life.}
 
Thanks :D
 

I like the faces. I can see how some people might react to the size of the eyes, but that’s a personal preference thing.

Couple of suggestions:
 

Have you tried playing with the levels after scanning? A lot of scans need colour adjustment to avoid that faded look. Fuchs might be a good person to ask about that, since she gets great results scanning coloured pencils and… oil pastels, I think?
 
 
It’s really hard to avoid the uncanny valley with almost-human faces. For all the shit we give Equestria Girls, they did a pretty good job of it.  
The really easy way out would be adopting muzzles to make them look less human.
