I was originally tier 3 $5k

This is my most recents, is it still the same price range?

I draw my own horses usually pen and paper, then I digitize them in my art program. I use a tablet and stylus to color. Any tips are much appreciated Thank you! :D

I'd say you're still tier 3, for 5k or less.

your still teir 3

Not enough highlights or is it the white outlining the horse? Am I sizing them wrong? I started by drawing in larger px and then compressing but after struggling with that I've just been starting out the drawing in 500x500 px

i think a problem here is the blurriness of your horses, is there a way to fix that? id suggest maybe fiddling with the sharpen tool a tiny bit to make it a little more crisp. Also, on Amare's piece i like the fact that its incorporated into a backround, but on the other piece it just looks out of place on a plain background. And maybe just lower the opacity of the white outline a tad.

and one more tip :)

try to make your credits less big and in your face. People want to look at beautiful art, not beautiful art with some big pink letters on it. Try formatting them on top of each other, making them smaller and just putting them in a corner or at the top/bottom. Here is a piece of mine for an example of this https://postlmg.cc/Yh9zt2Vn

sorry for all the critique, you asked for it haha!

The horse lines look quite traced - and as you use reference pictures, please make sure you give credits to the original pic owners to follow HEE rules. Thanks.

Thanks guys! Blurriness is something I struggle with, this happens after I compress the file. My art kept getting taken down cause my credits weren't visible, I think it was the blurriness to blame. Thanks again, I'll take all of it into consideration
