Artist's Comments

Updated with some major adjustments!

BG-less version. Yes, there's no shadow. Yes, there will be a shadow.

Use of Piece
You may not use these piece anywhere without my explicit written consent. This means no to using it for role playing or as character references. The watermarks aren't heavy because I personally dislike piece obstructing watermarks- please don't give me a reason to regret this!

:faint: So I was up all hours of the night and day finishing this. I really am too tired for insight besides what I've already given at the start of this project. I wanted to submit this with a BG, but my own personal deadline for getting a print of this is for today, and I'm too exhausted to devote the proper amount of focus, time, and energy to my first "real" BG quite yet. So this will have to do.

I'm putting comments to regular. Critique is welcome, as it's obviously not discourage, but it will be a while before I apply any of it to this particular piece (if I do, assuming I just don't apply the advice to a future piece) because I'm not in the mood to think of thing things I've done wrong. :faint: :faint: :faint:

Information on my personal challenge: [link]

About this piece:

I recently finished watching Miracle of the White Stallions, which is an old Disney movie about the Lipizzaner stallions of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, and was inspired by the last performance scene to try and capture the energy.

This is just when the horse is going into the levade, and as he draws his hind legs under him there's a brief, very brief moment in time when all of his weight is on that one leg. And that's what this will be, right when one tip of the hind hoof touches the ground as he shifts his weight. ^_^

Beautiful Tala <3 I love his expression XD

:D Thanks! I loved the end result of his eye, but of course the detail gets lost in resizing. It's actually the white of his eye showing, not some random highlight.

Well crud, my super long comment was too late. *wiggles under her rock* But I'm glad to see you got it done. It looks awesome Tala! He came out beautifully. :giggle: I think he protrayed your emotion though cuz he looks frightened and tired. :glomp: Go back and get lots of sleep, then when you're cheerful and happy you can make his eye sparkle, hmm? :)

LOL, I noticed. But it was still a sweet gesture and I will reply to each and every one of them anyway. :glomp:

As for the emotion. Yeah, lol. I love expression, but I did wonder if I should go for a concentrated expression instead of terrified. :D

:iconstarluck:
He doesn't look so much terrified as grouchy, to me. XDD

The world is not #000000 and #ffffff.... it's more of a mottled #cccccc. [link]
:iconstarrynightxxi:
I don't think terrified is the look I would expect to see on one of these horses. They seem rather stern, but not worried, they've had too much training to be worried. Still you definitely created that expression wonderfully and can probably recreate it in the future for a more appropriate study. The only thing I don't really like is his mouth. It's not very natural or horse-like. Otherwise it's coming together quite nicely.
:iconbriggles:
Lol it looks gorgeous still! <3 -loves on lippi-

:icontala-twilight:
I suppose he's subjective then. :D
