I like the stock that you chose. It works very well together, and I especially love the horse because he's in a very goat-like pose (if that makes sense), so it really fits your theme. You put them together well, and lighting, blending, all that stuff looks pretty good to me. The only bit I'm not sure about is the horn- I feel like its lighting is different from the rest of the manip, because the light seems to be straight-on and strongest on the center-middle (?) of his body, and the way the light is hitting the horn doesn't look like it matches. That could easily just be me, though- I'm definitely not an expert.

The last few comments I can give are small and more personal preference. First, I like your mane and tail style, but I think that the tail at least should be a bit more flow and free-form than solid- I understand that's more of a style preference, though. The section of mane that comes across his chest from the other side was confusing at first until I realized that it was probably meant to be blow across his chest. However, it really doesn't look right- there doesn't seem to be any wind that would blow it there, and it's not something I usually see when horses are running around. Lastly, the symbol on his cheek is a little distracting. I'm almost positive that it's a copyright sign, though, and I understand your purposes for putting it there; I just thought I'd throw that in.

Overall, wonderful job. I really like it, and it was a joy to help you by critiquing. Hoped this help (even though there wasn't much to suggest e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/>)

Everything looks great! Love the lighting, colors, and how you drew on the mane/tail! All I'd say is, I think the tail should've been either longer down or outward! I don't know, to me, it looks a bit small for the horse! But other than that, great job! ^^

Oooooh, I really like the horn placement on this. o: It's different than most I see, which are in front of the natural ears, I think? Either way, this looks really awesome. (: The background is so soft and dreamy, and the horse is just so gorgeous. Good job!

Haha! I am an Aries! And if you have ever looked up the Aries personality thing it is pretty much dead on for me, minus the impulsive part, I am strategic, not impulsive. This is, by far, the most lovely Aries I have ever seen
