Hey, ya'll! I've just started out on manips (only four pieces lol), but I know I can definitely improve!! I'm guessing I'm a T4 but just wanted to make sure. I cannot change colors or anything yet and am not amazinggg at making the horse blend into the background stock. Some of these are in my premades shop (here!) and i dont know if I'm charging good prices or not! any and all help is appreciated! love ya'll!

I would make the end more blend into the backround, it looks very unnatural.

Sry if I sound rude, just trying to give advice <3

Also add a little more shading to the manes, I can see the solid colour <3

Add a shadow to the ground below the horse! That will help it fit in with the surroundings better. Add a little vignette in the corners to help frame the horse (use anything but actual black, and use an overlay or softlight attribute). You could darken the horses a bit in the purple image, and add more dark contrast as well. (add more contrast to the laying down horse as well). Adding a lighter highlight layer with the overlay, add, or soft light function could help too. Sorry this is brief, I'm unfortunately busy right now but I will hopefully be able to come back later!

Hi! I think your pricing as of now is decent, anywhere from 10-15k is reasonable :)

I think you're making an awesome effort at blending the horse into the background! I can see where you've added clouds on the pegasus, grass texture on the laying down roan, and I especially love the reflection on the dapple piece. I think the area you'll want to play around with the most is lighting. It's hard to find horse photos that already perfectly match the background lighting. Personally, I use layers with different blending modes ("Multiply" for shadows, and "soft light" for highlights) to help the horse fit into the background better. Try to avoid using pure white/black and instead pull colors of shadows and light from the background (ex: dark blue/green/purple for shadows, yellow/light blue/light pink, etc for highlights). I also really like what you're doing with your mane/tail shapes. You've got some great movement going on which really adds to a more natural look. However, you may want to work on building up the layers a bit more. Typically, I have a base color, a darker shade, and 3 lighter shades. My base layer always has the thickest lines (3-4px) with the thickness decreasing as your shades get lighter (usually my lightest shade is about 1 px in thickness). Keep up the awesome work though and I can't wait to see what you make next!! <3

thank you guys so so much!! i really appreciate it!

OK I opened up a shop and I think I've improved LOTS but am looking for a little more critique! Any and all! Thanks guys <3
