i love the sepianess of this photo and how well the back legs blend into the rock. but if it was mine- i would do 1 thing. blend the horse into the bg a little. im really new to the whole manip thing and i know you might have done it on purpose but PERSONALLY i think that would take it from an solid A to an A+!

Sky-of-Silver [2010-10-23 16:10:10 +0000 UTC]

Gorgeous! The only thing that just isn't quite right is the outline- I think maybe it was a bit too thick and opaque, you know? And the dapples seem a little too smudged, but other than that, this is fabulous! Especially the color theme, very nice. I'd expect more of a blue theme for something ocean-ey like this, but it looks really nice this way.

erraticstudios In reply to Sky-of-Silver [2010-10-23 22:22:34 +0000 UTC]


thanks!
ahh, yep, i think it must be the outline that's the problem.
haha, i just noticed the smudging - thanks for pointing that out, now that i look at it, i see what you mean!

i was thinking of going for a blue theme, but then i was like "hey, why not do something different?" haha

Sky-of-Silver In reply to erraticstudios [2010-10-24 16:40:59 +0000 UTC]

No problem! yeah, that's really the only problem I can see.
yeah, like the dapples seem a bit blurred together, you know?

haha yeah, well, i like it!

This is absolutely G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.
The tail is stunning and the mane details are phenom.
I think the horse fits in perfectly with the background; mainly I think the dapples do a great job of tying it to the ocean wave highlights (if that makes any sense...).

I love it!!!!!!! The face looks like of funny, like all the muscles you drew in it [or was in the original, I'm too lazy to look] looks sort of weird. It looks like the muscles would stretch across the creek bone, and it looks strange -.-

haha, some of the muscles were original, i can't quite remember which ones, bahah but i think you're right.

I think the white outline on the horse might be a little pronounced, and takes away from the depth of the picture. I also find the signature a little distracting in its placement. The mane and face are EPIC win in every way, and I am going to go stare at them now.

erraticstudios In reply to Meisaims [2010-10-22 23:24:19 +0000 UTC]


ahh, ok, thanks!
i might go and fix up that outline now (and move the sig, haha).

awhh, thanks!

Meisaims In reply to Meisaims [2010-10-22 23:19:33 +0000 UTC]

PS - Knowing me, I'd have solved the 'white outline problem' by making the horse glow, because I similarly feel the need to make them stand out against a shadowy background, so you probably shouldn't listen to a word I say. xD

midnitejinx [2010-10-22 23:07:23 +0000 UTC]

First off, I have to say how much I love this The face and the hair is epic beyond belief. The one thing that bothers me is that the highlighting is pretty light for the dark background; personally, I don't think it is necessary. Besides that, this is gorgeous. Awesome job

I think it's beautiful! I wish I had your epic skills. How do you start a donation poll by the way? I tried to figure out and it didn't work well...

haha, from what i remember, you can go to your page and choose 'Edit' up the top, and then in the box that appears you can choose some different widgets to add to your page, and the donation poll is one of them.

i'll see if i can get a screenshot for you, since i know that was probably the worst description ever, haha!
