Flying Blind

The world is sustained by three things by truth, by justice, and by peace.

~Notes

Holy crap! So after about restarting about 5 times, several stock hunts, and a few mane and tail redraws (I drew the tail 3 times, fully light it 2, and the mane was redrawn 5 times, fully light 3 times) I finally finished. I worked on it about 5 hours over Friday and Saturday, and then about 3 hours on Sunday. (Phew) Anyway enjoy it dear! I did have fun painting the blindfold. I also used it to learn the maroon 5 CD I bought from Itunes. I think I'm in love with the tail... so please

Here's the breakdown-
Peace is the dove
Justice is the Blindfold "Justice is Blind" idea
Truth is light (so I did semi dramatic lighting...)

_{First of all sorry this took me so long to get round to!! I've been meaning to do it for ages xD

What is brilliant about this:
- Mane and tail. You seem to have a good technique for painting hair. Its beautiful!
- The blindfold is very well done and detailed.
- Your cutting is flawless
- The horses coat looks lovely not over smudged and not pixelated.

What I think you could improve:
- Your lighting in this is very strong and comes from the right in front of the horse. With this in mind your guys face would be better being brighter with a darker underbelly. The left back leg would be in more of a shadow too.

- Note the cliff the horse is running on and how strong a shadow it casts. Your horse should be doing the same as there isn't much of a shadow there at the minute.

- The only other thing I'd suggest is to be careful when you blur. The blurring to the left isn't really needed there. But other than that it looks pretty good.

Overall its pretty hard to critique something that's already pretty damn good. I hope it helped all the same <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt="" title="Heart"/>}
