Description I've been quiet here for some time as my real life was pretty busy and I haven't finished anything more than just rough sketches here and there... :/ So at least, challenge/event I wanted to enter was prolonged and I was able to finish at least one my entry :3 It was nice combination of challenges for me - horse fantasy art (to catch my breath with chance of more using references) and given colour pallete. So... here is my try! :3 
...I really should paint digitally often, I always manage to forget almost everything... :/

used: photoshop, wacom intuos3
time: a lot, forget to count :/

Requested feedback:

This piece is absolutely gorgeous, i really love the composition, the movement and power of the horse in the image, and the way the ground is curved gives it a fantasticly brings the horse forward, making it the centeral part of the image, which is quiet difficult with such bright colours in the sky. I think the way you used the colours, it's great, however, i feel the snow is a bit 'muddy' (meaning the colours have become blotch and rough in a way) which made the snow the horse was flicking up with it's feet blend in so much i really have to look to see it. It could have been nice for that to have been emphasized a bit more, which could have been done by making it a bit more contrasted, such as adding a shadow or ditch under the horse darker, more like the middle colour you were given and using the two lighter colours for the thrown snow.

It would have also been nice if the mountains had been lighter, which would have pushed them into the background, making them seem further back.

However, i am very impressed with this image, and personally, i do really love it. It is one of my favorite out of all the entries, and i think you did a fabulous job. It was a rather hard pallet, and i was very suprised by your choice of background. The red clouds are bold, beautiful, and somehow i still feel Rosita is the focus of the image.

Had i ranked on my favorite images, you would have definitely been in the top three. You should be proud of this image.

Thank you for so detailed feedback to me piece!
I'm still fighting a lot with digital art and many things doesn't seem to cooperate with me that easy as at traditional techniques. From those you pointed out are mainly colours the problem. But... the challenge was exactly about this so digital was easy choice
The problem with snow... I think this was one thing I really wasn't sure how to draw - at least we can recognize it's snow, that's plus point. Thank you for pointing it out, next time I'll try to catch it better!

It surprised me, but pallet you gave fit me pretty good and I got idea right at the moment I saw it  
Also, thank you for nice reaction to composition itself, it means a lot to me, I was studying some details about it these days ^^

Thank you for nice competition, I totally look forward next one similar!

Díky - i když barvy... no byly daný paletou xD

Samantha-dragon In reply to WoC-Brissinge [2018-05-06 20:00:46 +0000 UTC]

Mě to asi pomáhá, protože s výběrem barev v digi dost bojuju (kupodivu v tradi tolik ne), tady konkrétně mě použití napadlo hned, takže to šlo dobře 0 kontrast je můj další digi problém, takže to šlo samo vždycky to musím křivkama pořádně napálit, vrátit zpátky a zděsit se nad originálem

WoC-Brissinge In reply to Samantha-dragon [2018-05-06 20:12:43 +0000 UTC]

xD njtn ale když ti daj paletu, kde jsou barvy který k sobě vůbec nejsou kontrastní, tak je to horor a v rámci zachování barev palety, ani nemůžeš ty křivky nahodit xD

Samantha-dragon In reply to WoC-Brissinge [2018-05-06 20:27:56 +0000 UTC]

No, tady k tomu psali, že si dokonce můžeš přidat bílou a černou, což jsem se snažila přidávat fakt málo (a černou vůbec, ale to je prakticky obecně) a efekty vrstev prý jsou taky v pohodě, pokud z toho bude paleta rozpoznatelná Je fakt, že ty challenge kde to berou opravdu brutálně a pomalu člověk nesmí udělat přechod z barvy do barvy... to je spíš na prd než challenge

Yeah, I guess it's similar everywhere - sometimes I think about times when +fav was so rare for me that I said thank you for that user...

I still tend to thank for llamas and faves, unless specified not to on that user’s page

I get way too much feedback to keep doing this. But generaly I don't mind people trying to be nice - I just don't like copy pasted soul-less "thank-you-for-anything".

Understandable. I once read a rant about people favoriting and not commenting. But the thing is, I usually just say the same thing, it’s kinda a waste. Hence why I seldom comment.

Díky! ^^
Až budeš chtít docílit dojmu rychlosti, tak vřele doporučuji alespoň zkusit! Osvědčilo se mi pozadí vymalovat co nejlépe, obrázek vlastně dokončit, uložit si jako nový soubor a na něm zkusit tyhle okulibé efekty :3 A pokud si zvládneš důsledně udržovat oddělené vrstvy minimálně pro oblohu, pozadí, charakter a popředí, tak s tím se dá pak už hodně čarovat Ale nejde tím schovat nedomalovaný obrázek, i když to k tomu svádí Vlastně stejně jsem to udělala už u trochu staršího obrázku níž a přijde mi to fajn, stačí malinko (na novém je to méně než na tom starším), ale už to oko táhne a nepustí

I really missed seeing art from you and I hope you are doing okay That horse is gorgeously drawn. I really like the face, mane, and the tail! :>  The galloping pose is great and very dynamic looking too.  I like the beautiful blue eyes and the blue flowers.  The snowy looking background is beautiful! I like the sky and moutains! Wonderful job!

Generally I'm fine, nothing exact bad happened just busy times at work means I'm laaazy at the small rest free time But - I'm trying to set up my goals and keep everyday sketching at least something tiny or continue at already started things. Now I'm working on huge Magnolia picture
Thank you! Digital art still doesn't cooperate with me exactly like I wish to but without practice there won't be progress. Still like this one, so nice to hear people like it too. Thank you! ^^

Sometimes you need to rest and be lazy.
I love the magnolia pictures. A huge one will be awesome.
You're welcome! ^^
