Personally I really like all three of these! Sometimes it's just hard to sell premade graphics, as they just aren't what people are looking for at the time. Keep up the good work though!

 Bandit speaks 100% truth. Your art rocks. The perspective of your images is bang on IMHO. The only thing I notice that is a bit rough is your hair style. But that comes in time (Rome wasn't built in a day). In all seriousness if you keep up the amazing work you will be better then me in no time :-)

You're manips are great! I like them! I have to agree with Kaly though: the mane and tails don't really...flow? idk if that's the right word. But I get it, my mane and tails are still a work in progress! lol You'll get there with practice and patience. Also, during the summer HP tends to be a lot more dead so there arent as many people buying. I'd practice, experiment and have a ton of fun making graphics, put them in auction and advertise, advertise, advertise! (Sometimes the people who are buying dont see the advertisements so they dont know, just dont flood the chat lol :P ) Anyway though, you're doing great! Keep up the good work! And most importantly, have fun with it!

My only comment is to make customs for breeds that are currently very popular. Warmblood, paint, atc. Also what did you have the images priced at?

I really like these tutorials, for manes and tails..they may help!  When I have time I will sit and read tutorials on Deviantart, sometimes it takes me hours to finally figure it out.. and it doesn't help when you don't have the same program as everyone else.. so for me I had to learn how to work my program (photoshop Elements) when using a tutorial for Photoshop CS. Practice, Practice!

I also think there might be tutorials on Youtube somewhere.. or you can watch someone do a manip and see how they do manes and tails.

 

You work otherwise looks great!  I sometimes don't have things that sell well in auction, and other days they sell like hotcakes.. Summer time seems to be slow time of the year for premades.. since everyone is outside enjoying their summer.. vs winter.. because who wants to be outside when it's snowing :P
