So, I think I've come far with my mane/tail paintings with my tablet. This is one of my newest graphics, which I'm also selling as a premade layout (can be found in the auctions) http://aquata1.deviantart.com/art/Lost-366785799 Please comment on what is good, and what can be improved. Much thanks to those who do!(:

I don't have the ability to make such awesome graphics, but I do work with two Gypsies in real life, which this pic is based off of.The forelock and tail looks beautiful!The mane could be a tad longer and the feathers could be blended into the legs a bit better/more(?), but other than that I think it's a wonderful picture! :)   |

I have to agree with broken vow. The tone seems off compared to the horses body. It's coming though. |

That was the first time I've had to paint feathers. Will take note on more blending next time. ^^ |

I think the gypsy looks brill, just needs to be a bit more blended but i do like your painting skills! The second one, really good for your first attempt at markings! They do look like they're actually on the horse (my first attempt at markings were ridiculous). Just keep at it, I think you'll do good! :D |

Here we go again.I'd like critique for my newest manip i see you c: |

critique for lost: the concept is excellent, pose perfect. mane and tail are alright, but i suggest trying to do more free strands of hair (painting individual lines) and using less burn/dodge tool for giving your mane and tail (also hoof feathers) detail. for the motion of the horse, the tail and feathers should be showing movement, flowing to the right. the horse needs more highlights to contrast with the background. the far background and sky are a little too blurred and it actually distracts a bit from the foreground which is too dark. i suggest simply putting some highlights on the horse to accentuate his presence. this will bring the image up an entire octave. also, some highlights and the horse's shadow on the ground would do a lot. critique: darkness of lightsimilar to previous, put some highlights in the lake and it will make it look more fantasy-like. also, if you tone down the blue just a bit and have FAINT colors fading through (like the green of the trees) it will also look a bit more "natural." horse needs a little more highlighting, but for the most part highlights are present and look okay. :) |

Alright, what about "i see you"? |

ah, almost didn't even see that one. critique: i see youthis one is very good! i like the deer in the background, but perhaps make it a slight less blurry. the background should be clear up to that tree on the left, as it makes your spotlight too small and makes it distracting. other than that, maybe slightly stronger highlights and shadows. just to make an emotional connection. by the way, the foremost tree on the right is perfectly fine with a heavy blur as it is in front of your horse. but i do suggest mostly de-blurring the left tree (perhaps using a max of 15% blur) and also clarifying the tree on the back right a bit (max of 25-30% blur)... just see how that looks. :3 |

And again! WOO!At least I'm not making a new thread every time(;Anyway, this is my very first non-equine/K-9 related manipulation, and would really time some feedback on it.I really do like the elf's hair, but, maybe it needs to be improved? I don't know.
