Wow, where to start on this. Over all I like the composition. The pallet works very well with subject and the background.

The pegasus is handily rendered, with a style that merges realism and fantasy well. The details displayed are nearly anatomical in some cases.

The coat is well done, and you maintain the direction of the lighting consistently.

The mane I think could be more blown up and back. With the way the tail and the mane are, it gives a sense that the pegasus is being hauled backward and up by it's wings.

But criticism aside, just from a initial impression, I loved the piece and I'm sure the person receiving it should have every reason to feel excitement and joy owning it.

The colours are well chosen and the anatomy is so flawless as well as the shading β™₯
If you're okay with that, I'd like to feature this image inΒ FeatureHorseArtists Β

Funny you used similar colours that I used for this character years ago. But yours is so much more realistic and beautiful. The pose is great. Brilliant job over all!

Jeez your wings are awesome. I love the pose here too, I can almost anticipate the dull whooshing sound when those wings take their heavy downbeat in the next second or two, flattening the grass like a helicopter about to touch ground.

wow it looks so realistic! no just the pose (though that is too!), but the horse~ it has the wild unrefined look- i love it! much better than other drawings of Pegasus where the actual horse looks like its from a racetrack

THANK YOU! I was really hoping that someone would pick up on the avian landing trait Everyone always draws pegasus landing front legs first, but it doesn't physically make sense(to me).

wrolov In reply to WSTopDeck [2009-12-30 02:50:33 +0000 UTC]

I suppose they draw the reference from the landing off of a jump--but if a pegasus landed that way the impact would be far worse and likely unsustainable unless the galloped away from it like a 747...

So yes, this makes me happy.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

WSTopDeck In reply to wrolov [2009-12-31 02:42:36 +0000 UTC]

Exactly! The landing off a jump pose is more suited to soaring down, not landing at spped. Also, looking at most other fantasy creatures with wings, most of them backwing to land and as such land hind end first. I had taken some pictures of geese landing and looked at them for reference

Yay! I'm glad I made you happy!

like, though not truly a "source" generally in dragon animations (which i'm sure are made off of real studies) such as in movies they backwing to land.

I'm not a fan of digital art. Some of it is nice. There's just too much of it and I feel sometimes left in the dust due to being a traditional artist.

BUT YOU MAKE ME WANT TO PAINT THAT!!

That is just an amazing piece!!! The body is well done and the pose just takes that whole thing a step beyond!!!

Thank you!

I also want to say a big thank you for participating in our exchange. Your work has been consistently amazing!

Ooo, beautiful lighting and pose but I think the composition would be better if there was more space to the horse's left, so it had somewhere to go; it looks a bit squashed currently.

My only crit is that the back left (when standing behind the pegasus) hoof looks a bit sharp, it may looks better if it was blurred a little.
