Artist's Comments

Call me crazy ^^; I know I am. This is a WIP I started last month sometime for Aasifa, my black arabian mare character... she's actually my oldest character. I role played a couple of years ago and she was one of my first and favorites ever...

So this is to practise lighting and lovely backgrounds...and to get something done of Aasifa, but it hasn't progressed too much since last month, I just have a million WIP's sitting around so I thought I'd share them!

Horse reference I'm fairly certain was from Wojtek Kwiatkowski ...

you color the horses after the background? I normally do the background last ;P I put it off and keep putting it off until I'm forced to do it.

Hmm.. for a moment i though you were outlining a ghost horse you would add smoky appearance to.

I think the horse looks like it is sinking into the ground (note how the back legs appear to go into the ground *not just talking about the dust*)

Now the front legs... The shoulders (do they call em shoulders? It has been a few years since i have worked with horses) look too close together.

To increase the compositional look of the pictue i think it would be better to have the horse leaning to the side a little making a turn it makes for a more dramatic picture. (personal opinion)

eee, it looks araby! *happy squee* you've motivated me to go to work on some of my big digi pieces << >>

the neck's bugging me a little, maybe the top should be a tad smoother? more curved?

Aasifa! =D
'Nuff said.

I love the background, and the mane+tail. You're so talented.

BUT. You said advanced critique, and I ignored it an every other one. SO I guess I owe you something (I dunno, weird logic);
I agree with Rafica (yes, I did read all your previous comments) about the neck. Something seems really odd about it. Perhaps it's too small?

I don't know. S' pose I'm not much help.
