hi friends! I recently finished this piece for one of my mares, just for fun and a challenge. The main obstacle here I wanted to try was changing a horse from grey to bay ( original horse) and would love to know how everyone thinks it looks. I'm also wondering about the white markings (it was actually really difficult to do?!?!??) I'm not super experienced when it comes to manips so I would love some feedback! Lastly, would this sell? And for how much? I had made a shop a while back that no one was into (do NOT blame anyone for that) but I'm not sure if users are interested in more simple art like this? |

Hey! First off that colour change looks stunning. I could never tell it was originally a grey! About the white markings, you have made the tobi pattern looks great, but I find when making manips, patterns don't look real unless you add a more jagged, textured edge. I also think that the legs should be bit more yellow and darker, so it matches the light reflecting off the ground. I have one question, are you able to paint/smudge longer manes? The short one looks beautiful, but when people are ordering art they expect a variety of mane and tail lengths. Overall I'd say this piece is really nice, and to make some more pieces so you get more examples and more experience. For this I'd pay 35-50k if not more. Lovely work! |

Thank you so much for the feedback! Yes, I'm sure I could paint longer manes with a little work, that's really good to know. Thanks for the kind words! ^^ |

Oooh boy do I love this! First of all that is an absolutely phenomenal color change so props to you. Secondly I have to agree with Madz when she says that the pattern outlines are just a little bit too crisp. I would recommend taking a little tiny smudge brush and lightly going over all the edges in the direction of the fur to make it just a tad more realistic if that's the way you want to go. Another point, once again agreeing with Madz, it would really bring the image together overall if there was a slight hue of the same yellow coloring of the grass on the legs. You did a very nice job at grounding the horse, just need to add that little grounding color to bring it together. Lastly the hair, personally I like it a lot! Not everyone needs to do crazy super long hair and that is perfectly fine! I absolutely adore short hair when it just works with the image, and here it works! I will say though adding some stray hairs at the bottom of the mane and tail will definitely help make the image more realistic since hair is never perfectly straight across. You did a really nice job with the fly away strands in the tail, and it would really look amazing if you could do that at the ends of the mane and tail. Lastly, could it sell? Fuck yeah it could! I would even buy it myself. I'm really bad at pricing but I would probably say anywhere from 40-100k. I absolutely love simply art, so I personally would pay closer to the higher end, but again that's just me. I love natural styles <3 (Last note) the eye, it's not bad, there's nothing wrong with it but it certainly does bring the image to life when you add a little pop of color! If you need any help with manips in the future or just have any questions don't hesitate to PM me |
