Nice. Me like. xP

Would suggest maybe adding a few 'blades' of gras near the feet- I'm not sure if its just me, but it would look more like it was integrated with the picture. But your improving charky! xD And if you ever have a hard time with the shadows... just look where the sun might be comming from- and hey, maybe even get a flashlight and some kind of object; position it so that it matches your image in one way or another to figure out where the shadow goes... strange- but sometimes that helps me out a little bit lol.

Good job.

Ooh, now that’s a method I’ll have to try =3

Thanks for the lovely advice, Del Dorado - I actually couldn’t find the shadows in the bg pic, guess I wasn’t looking hard enough >>;

No probs.
'Del Darado' lol, that's a new one. - sometimes shadows can be annoying tho, or the images themsevles.

I really like the simplicity of this one.
It makes it look.... free. lol (I'm tired/sick so my vocabulary is very limited XD haha)
I really do like the feathers in the mane/tail, but the blue paint.... is very bright. It looks drawn on lol.
I think maybe an effect might help that (I don't know how GIMP works... lol) But I hope you know what I mean.
Overall it looks very nice, and the watermark doesn't take away from it, either. ^_^ Very nicely done!

I love the feathers in the mane/tail. Very nice touch. The main thing that throws me off is the blue "paint" on the horse. While I like the idea, it looks very slapped on. The way I think of it, the paint would be put on with fingers, therefore I don't think it should have as much feathering as it does. And like romino says, I think you should try shadowing/highlighting, or perhaps fiddle with the blending modes. Er.. that's assuming you use photoshop. But something along those lines.

Anywho, on a general note, you are coming along so well in your skills. Very nice.

I use GIMP, but thus far it seems to be virtually the same as psp pr ps, albeit without all the bells and whistles ;D

I’m gonna play with it when I have time, tho - I’ll definitely keep your suggestions for the paint in mind ^__^

And thanks - I was really worried about the feathers, but I think they turned out nicely J good to hear others think so, too.

Oh, nifty! And you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars for it. x]

Well, keep up the excellent work. Glad I could help in any way.

I like the simplicity, it makes the scene seem so open. As for critique, the white on the pony is a bit bright, maybe just brighten the brown parts. Also, I think the shadow might be in the wrong direction.. It looks like the shadow on the grass in coming towards us. It would also add a little more the the (very cool looking) blue markings if you gave them a little shadows/highlights. I'm not sure if that would work well, but it's worth a try! I think it would help them blend better. Anyway, I really like the picture, thanks for using my stock! (PS, do you know what site it's being used on? Out of curiosity.. )
