Description

A practice attempt at digital art.

Please comment!!!! I really need criticism. Tell me everything you don't like! I'd love suggestions, too, if you have any. But please tell me what you think...Even if it's to say you don't like it...and especially if you are going to tell me why you don't like it. :)


EDIT 12/26/08: Critique no longer desired on this. Feel free to visit my gallery and attack my newer pieces. :D

I think your digital skills are very good, actually - you have rendered the look of the silky coat, and the mane texture, quite believeably! I like the way you've shown the shine on the face, too.

The head itself, the anatomy is not quite right, I'm sorry if I'm repeating what others have said :XD:. The eye is a touch too small, and the lips just out just a bit too far, giving him a dragonish kind of look. You could either move the nostril further down, or bring the lips in closer, to compensate for this. I think bringing the lips in closer would be the best bet, because the nostril looks like it's in just about the right place. You might need to make the muzzle a touch smaller too (not the nostril, just the mouth and chin area)

also I think the jawbones would need to come down a bit, his head is a bit narrow at the moment. Having said that, if I cover the poll and the muzzle end, it looks fine... so maybe shaving a bit off the poll, and shrinking the muzzle end would work? It's one of those things you can't work out til you try it :lol:

if you are interested I can try and do a redline of this for you? If you are on DA today (26th) let me know as I am here all day, and I have my tablet! lol
