Artist's Comments

My half of a rather belated trade with the =scenceable. Look at what she did [link] !

Her horse Illyria.

I swear woman, that horse just doesn't like being white.

---
Oh my.

I just can't seem to get back into horses.

I'm all sketchy and throw-together, so when I want to make a serious manip, I fail. I'm just not up to par-- it's as though any PS skills I once might've had have vanished. And I swear it has nothing to do with working on a laptop... :paranoid: Seriously, the main computer is sooo slow, so living la vida finger touchpad.

FAILFAILFAILFAILFAIL le FLAILFLAIL FISH.

:cry: Arghhhhhh

I know people mainly watch me for manips, but I just can't seem to do them!

Critiques


:iconeagle-sama:
Beautiful, Shims! I love how it all has an old-ish painted look to it. And the mane on the horse is just wonderful - so bouncy!

In terms of critique, the biggest fault in my eyes is the blending from feet to grass (same with the tail). My favorite way of blending feet on ground like this is to cut out grass from the background and paste it over the feet, then blend it all together. In terms of the tail, I would have just made a big, curly bunch of it sitting atop the grass, with maybe just a few blades of grass overlapping here and there.

Also, where's your shadow? ;^D

Yaoi Fangirls are the 9/11 terrorists of the art world, and the main infantry of Character Abuse, if you believe they should be taken care of like actual terrorists, put this in your sig.

If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it? -- Steven Wright
