This is really beautiful! I love the use of colors. In the background is that more fields or is it a lake?

Fields fields!
And thank you! Ahah blue is a lovely color but I have no clue why the reference photo made the grass blue.. something with the light and perhaps also flowers? Perhaps the ref photo is simply too saturated!

Wow! This piece is amazing & going into my favorites for sure ^_^. The warm yellows & pinks fading into blues & purples beautifully illustrate the sunset. The highlights along the creature’s body (I hesitate to say “horse”) clearly & beautifully illustrate the light source. This is probably my favorite part of this piece. You really demonstrate an advanced understanding of light sources. I reviewed the character info as well. You really did your research & it shows! You seem to have done a very good job of staying true to the character as far as I can see, which is incredibly important when drawing one that belongs to someone else. You put your own spin on illustrating it in this piece, but it is still clearly the same character. One thing that you seem to be missing are the long fangs protruding from his mouth in the owner’s art & collections of art featuring him. That being said, this is a really beautiful piece &, unlike other drawings of other artists’ characters which I’ve seen, Angelus looks like he belongs here. This looks like one finished, complete piece instead of a drawing of a character plopped into a stunning landscape.
Great job!!

I'm really glad you liked it. It was really hard to come up with 200+ words So, I'm glad that you found what I said useful/helpful especially since you never heard anything from the creator . I went over your drawing with a fine toothed comb lol. But know that I would only do that for something that I liked. If I hadn't liked your work I wouldn't have put that effort into commenting on it.
Thanks for the comments on my photos ^_^
Keep up the good work.

While checking out the notifications, I saw journal from ProjectComment and God, my jaw dropped. Honestly, this piece is so good! I love the color palette and the details of the beast. The technique is also amazing, you made a digital drawing look like an actual painted piece (I have no idea how to do that, honestly ;-; ) I really adore how the clouds and mountains are drawn too.
I already saw somebody commenting that they think that the shadow is too short. I agree with that. The other parts of the shadows/lighting are really detailed though, just like the rest of the piece.
Overall- amazing piece! I can just hope to reach this level in drawing one day
(Had to edit it because I have to idea how to link stuff here, oops)

Hello from ProjectComment !
1 word - wow. As soon as I saw the icon I knew I gotta click on this and boy I was not disappointed.
Absolutely beautiful color palette. You truly paid respect to sunset/sunrise colors, not a single color swatch stands out as in "ew this does not belong here". Perfectly balanced contrast between warm and cold colors. It's like - everything is blending together from top to bottom. Sky looks amazing, then the purple tones touch the mountains - very well done with making further mountains appear brighter, then mixing some pink hues into the water, then the grass and the purple speckles in the lawn. And even the character has some pink colors in it!
I love what you did with the cooler colors, since there are no direct sun reflections in the water, this shows a really late morning/evening time, my favourite... It's magic. Also the bushes on the right are just perfect. Quick strokes make them look like they are flickering in the wind, moving.
Also really noticeable - well done highlights on the creature, only where the sun would hit it from the side like it is in reality.
The only noticeable criticism that I could say, is that the shadow under a beast should be MUCH longer, as it's so small when the sun is high in the sky. Here, you absolutely bravely could add a shadow that extends to the bottom of the picture Would add some mystery flavor!
Overall I'm in love. I love the quick strokes and the colors of the picture. WELL DONE!!

Oh good god I messed up like half of the picture xD
The "water" grassland looks SO flat, like the surface of the water, so, whoops xD
Yeah, I think the colors really worker out amazing everywhere, I loved this. Already stalked the character Angelus also to figure out his colors xD
And yay, welcome and happiness!!

Haha no problem xD
I thought I'd be able to post a thumbnail of the Angelus's design but nooo you need a core membership probably.

Hi from ProjectComment !
This is one beautiful, picturesque scene ! I really love the sky and mountains in the background and the fantastic color balance and composition that gives the scene a realistic, three-dimensional feel. I also like the design of your horse, and how its eerie appearance causes it to simultaneously be at odds with, yet at harmony with, its surroundings (ex. it doesn't look like an ordinary horse, yet is similarly affected by/blending in with nature). This is one of those paintings that I can imagine hanging up on my wall .
Now, for the nitpicking...
I think that the level of detail you put in the sky/mountain is appropriate for this piece, and the details of the plants behind the horse are nice as well. However, the way you drew the grass is something that I'd expect for a feature that's out of focus and in the mid-ground or further back. I was expecting at least a few crisp, sharp blades of grass in the front. The abstracting away of these details take away from the realism of the piece, especially since the plants in the mid-ground are sharper-looking and more realistically lit than the grass.
I also suggest either blending some of your strokes in the mid-ground foliage (the left ones) a bit more or adding more strokes to the foliage to make it look more realistic. The plants on the right are really well-drawn, your use of multiple, thin strokes have the effect of making the grass look more detailed. However, the shorter and thicker strokes on the left side stand out and are somewhat distracting - some of the strokes are bent in a way that grass wouldn't ordinarily bend, and this again takes away from the realism of the piece. I'd suggest using thinner strokes that taper at the ends, and use individual strokes for more of the grass blades.
Overall, I think that you did an amazing job on this piece, and hope that you will continue to make more awesome works .
Hope this helps, and best of luck in the contest!

Oh my god! I love the bright colors of the sky!! It so makes a good scenario for the whole thing. The colors of the ground are so beautiful you did a lovely job. I don't know what kind of animal that is but it looks like its drawn differently than everything else, not that it looks bad, it looks good to. Nice job. I hope to see more work from you💋💋😊and sorry if you didn't like the huge message, it's a thing for ProjectComment i really like how this piece fits so well. See you. Later
