Description That took longer than expected, but finaly it's done. What started as a simpel human anatomy study turned into something much bigger.
The photoshop file i use to create this contains a folder with many differnt backgrounds and one with different facial expressions because i couldn't decide which one to use but ultimatley went with the lip biting and blue sky

Some design decisions i made that may not be totally clear:
-i angled the pedestal and the clouds in the background slightly to undeline the angled hip and torso.
-The wings aren't realistic in that way that they do not have a bird like anatomy. I did this because realistic wings would raise more questions that are unnecessary than these simple ones, and to strengthen the seperation between human - pegasus.
-There is no cutie mark "tattoo" since all attemps on putting it the hip or leg looked much to skewed.
-I have more problems drawing faces and feet than hands even though the pose i used here "hides" her hands.

The thing she's standing on looks a bit like a €1 coin.

Ah, a lot of people don't like unsolicited critiques and get mad and offended when they are given, so I've developed the habit of asking, first.


I was just going to say that your stylistic choice of giving not just the iris, but the whole eye a pink tinge, makes her look kind of stoned to me. That said, I love the quality of your painting, and the way you've used light and color in this piece!

i see what you mean
But next time please do not feel the need to ask first especially if it's such a funny observation

Nicely done... I love the cloud effect behind her and I love the portal thing she's standing on. I'd like to see the others done this way as well. Maybe even do a second lot and do them wearing their gala dresses or something. Just a suggestion.

thanks for the suggestions, depending on how much time i have i just might but time is really a problem at the moment for me
Anyways I'm glad you like it so much

Alles unterhalb der Hüfte gefällt mir irgendwie nicht... aber der Rest ist echt cool geworden.

sehe ich auch so, mein persönliches Fazit ist das ich zulange für das Bild gebraucht habe, es zwar spaß macht einfach drauf los zu zeichnen aber mit etwas mehr planung auch nen besserer Hintergrund bei raus kommt.
Mh alles unterhalb der Hüfte finde ich nicht si schlimm, ich muss immer noch viel füße studieren aber das Buntglas gefällt mir ganz gut
