I joined on an old account during peak Brinley lines when her TBs ruled the ABLB. That was well before the W rating was introduced. Her horses definitely started a legacy around here. And Amanda (FHF) also, I miss seeing her boy dominate

They were active before i joined too, but honestly it's just amazing how much of an impact their lines have on this game. it's impressive really hahha

Lucky, I bet! They were active before I started playing but their lines are in pretty much all of my LB-bred horses *-*

Gem, they're my favs! You can get really creative with matching them lol

I started switching Finley over to pine pellet litter and now I am debating if I should even do it because I was hoping it would reduce the amount of litter scatter, but there are still pine pellets outside the box.

Ello!

I've been doing art for quite a few years on HEE, but I feel like my art should be improved more than it is, so I'm asking for some critique on my art! I'm not asking "what can I do to make my art look more like [insert name]'s art", I'm just asking what can I do to improve and make my art look better! Even if you think that everything is perfect except for how I (example) drew the mane or shaded the hooves, then let me know! Or if you think the whole thing is terrible, then please let me know, and suggest ways (or tips if you know any) which I can improve!

All humbleness aside, I'm not too bad of an artist on HEE, but I'd like to be doing sooo much better than what I'm doing now.

I'm going to somewhat make this into a project. Every month, at the end of the month, I'll post a few images on this page which I made the previous month. Then I'll try to apply some of the tips and critique to pieces I make the next month and repeat the cycle. By, let's say.... July of 2019, I'd like to see that I've improved a TON!

I'll also be hosting free art giveaways through this page and possibly offer discounts in my art shop to anyone who gives helpful critique!

Here's some info about my art experience on HEE:

- I started doing art around yr65 (I joined yr61) by coloring linearts. (If I get enough requests, I'll see if I can find a link to the first lineart I colored xD )

- I started doing manips maybe 6 months after that

- I do ALL of my art on PaintToolSAI, a downloadable drawing program. SAI was specifically made for graphic design/drawing, not photomanipulation, so it took me a few years to figure out how to effectively use it for making manips

- Around December 2016 is when I finally "figured out" how to effectively make manips using SAI

-It has now been almost 2 years since then, and though I have definitely improved, I feel that I should be quite a bit more improved

Please note that because I use PaintToolSAI, not Photoshop or GIMP (gimp doesn't work on my laptop for some reason) I do not have access to all the PS/GIMP settings or brushes.

So, because I'm asking for Critique, I'd like to set a few rules, just so there are no hard feelings being passed around. Remeber; everyone may have different opinions or prefer different styles :)

1. Don't be rude

-please don't insult my art or just say that it looks bad. If you do think it looks bad, then please elaborate and tell me why or what I can do to fix it!

-don't tell people that their tips are bad or get into arguments. I would like everyone to be able to have a say without being afraid they'll be harassed for saying it. :)

2. Elaborate/ Don't be Vague

-if you dislike something about a piece or think I could have done something differently, then please say so! But then please elaborate and give me tips or ways which you think I could improve.

-or if you like something that I did on a piece, then please say so! Not all critique has to be negative!

3. You Don't Have to Critique Every Image

-you certainly can if you'd like, but you don't have to critique every image

-If you want, you can also go through my DA and link+critique some of the pieces which I have not posted

That's it! Thank you all sooooooooooooo much for the help!

Stuff to Improve upon for this month based on critique:

-Look for less "awkward" stock that matches the BG better

-Manes and Tails (lol this one is probably gonna be here for a few months)

-positioning and size of horses compared to their BGs

-applying just enough contrast and shading to the horse/ grounding horse

-fixed light source

Wow I love it so much! The bottom one I like the most! I think the one right above it has a weirder, like, um.. how do I elaborate? The fire looks like a stock image, if you get what I mean, but it still looks amazing! That's all I can really find wrong with them, they look really pretty.

Half of these I haven't seen before, Skye. I don't stalk you, lol, but dang. I think in general there are a few that have kind of awkward poses, like maybe you chose stock that wasn't quite right here or there. Specifically, I think the first photo is gorgeous except the front legs bother me because they're very strangely placed and possibly uneven to my perception and don't speak of movement, but the hind end is saying 'trot' to me. The same idea with the third from bottom, just an awkward looking pose to me, that's all.

Hopefully that helps. I'm not an artist, just an artist employer. ;P

Thanks Helicon and Celestrial!

Helicon, lol if the 3rd one from the bottom seems a tad awkward (specifically around the head/ shoulders) it may be because I had to reposition the head/neck a smidge. I'm still working on that xD

Skye these are all absolutely stunning pieces! I am honestly loving each and every one of these and would die if I had talents even close to yours. You are a fantastic artist! One thing you could possibly work on is making sure you have consistent tail textures though? I see some of these pieces have absolutely flawless, smooth tails but a few such as 2, 8, and 10 seem to have rougher, unblended tails? Also as Helicon mentioned, there are just a few tiny details with leg positions and such that are a bit off. Other than that, you've got absolutely gorgeous art and a whole heap of talent! :D
