Description Fairly simple. I loved the horse, loved the background, had to put them together.

This image looks deceptively simple, but I actually worked rather hard on it. The horse received major plastic surgery on his face because in the original stock image his nose was totally cut off.

fantastic but the nose as u sed was cut off nice job at re doing it but i think u cud have made it a little longer and a bit more shape to it to make it more realistic kuz it kinda looks like a cartoon compared to the the rest of the body but nice job i love it

Yeah, I see what you mean. I'm not entirely pleased with it either but at this point I don't have the .xcf file saved so I can't go back and fix it. But thanks for the critique.

That looks great!
Well done :]

What I like about it is that although the eye is very "different", it doesn't look overly fake.

Thank you. I was trying for a different look with the eye. I wanted it to stand out a little, without looking too odd. I think I managed to achieve that.

Beautiful! The hair is wonderful, and the nose looks just fine. In fact, I wouldn't have noticed anything if you hadn't have pointed it out xD

Thanks! I'm really pleased with how the tail turned out as well. It looks natural, for once! Tails can be so impossible sometimes.

Awww... thank you! I made the little owl myself. Pixel art is fun, but difficult.
