Eris. the goddess of chaos. It seems pretty clear that you went for a piece that conveys a feeling of chaos with the number of things that is happening. Pets being used as tools for personal grooming and all.

I think we could go farther to convey a lot more chaos, but this is where it might get hard. Plain side-views tend to be boring where something a little more complicated will be a lot more dynamic and interesting.

Maybe you could have a foot be very close to the viewer, where Gummy is so incredibly close and cut off from the framing. Something like that, or drawing in a vine that is very close to the viewer and blocks a section of this picture, adds more depth and potentially adds a more chaotic feel. A horizon line that is diagonal and crooked on the picture will also add a great sense of chaos, much like what was done in one of your pieces: fav.me/d6rq68o

Also be mindful of where you put points of interests. Our eyes move horizontally from Eris' face to Opal, Gummy, and Derpy and Dinky. It is likely subtle enough for non-artist to think this is nuts, but if they were more cleverly aligned so your eyes always have to move diagonally to jump from one interesting thing to another, it adds a stronger sense of chaos.

As far as I figure, you want horizontals for calm and peaceful, verticals for height and order, diagonals for chaos and energy. Often it's how you place and align things on a picture and how you frame a picture in general that changes the impact it leaves on people. Just a thought.
