Artist's Comments

These brown eyes will break your heart

Wow. I don't even want to think of all the many hours I've spend on this picture. It started out as someting entirely different, there was even another character in there but that one looked even more horrible so it got erased :giggle:

I've altered and erased so much, I'm still not content with the final picture but I couldn't NOT upload it after all those hours!

Anyway, this is my character Isluinah and she's one of my most favourite characters to rp. She's reaaaally playful, energetic, curious and a huge flirt. No shame at all. :3

This looks wonderful Whirl!! Really it does :)

I love the colours you used for the sunset, the orange-yellowish colour you used feels so warm. The only issue I feel I see with it is that your horse looks as if her shading is set as it's a pretty, early morning scene. ( at least in my opinion ) My suggestion would be to add a bit more depth to her, make the shadows on her a tad darker, giving it the ' sun setting ' feel :)

Also what I spotted, you have her anatomy almost perfectly down, but I feel as though her front two legs are a tad bit too long. Maybe it's the angle she's at? I'm not sure, but they seem a little too long in proportion to the rest of her body and her back legs.

Thirdly, make sure you keep her mane and tail looking as if they're going the same ' speed ' y'know?

Otherwise this piece is so pretty! And I'm going to fav it like, 60 times over again haha :hug:

Best of luck hunny! :)

Oh I can tell you've come so far as an artist. This image shows so much progress and growth from you! The shading has gotten so much more refined. The hair is infinitely more realistic. And you happen to have picked my favorite color scheme! Golds and reds are a weakness of mine. ;) You seem to be experimenting with backgrounds too, which is huge! I was so happy to open this image and take a good look at it.

The first thing I noticed about Isluinah is that her tail is just hanging down. With this sort of image, where nearly everything is blurred from motion, I think her tail should be flying with the speed. Also, it looks like the sun is setting from behind, so she should probably be in shadow more.

Her expression really gets me. She seems SO thrilled to be running at high speed, and I love that. Keep up the good work whirl. I know you are capable of wonderful things!

I'd critique but you'd be like WTF STFU 'cause I'm all noobish and not good.
So I'll just comment.
I love the colour scheme for the background, and the expression on the horses face. Well, unicorn's. Very cute.
All I got to say is, the right fore looks a little long to me, as if it was dragging on the ground and it looks painful. Unless that's an angle concept I can't get into my head. lol.
Very beautiful though, like I said the colours are gorgeous. :heart:

I'd have to say that it is very beautiful piece. Yes I agree about the foreleg is a little long and the eye is a bit big or up too high. Other than that it is perfect! AWESOME job as always Whirly.

I love this image, you have turned her into such a beautiful character and i have loved watching her develop through your gallery. The background is amazing, the colours work so well together. And the blurred effect is a great way to symbolize movement. ^^
