Alright, I made three pictures. Two of my new characters, and one of Joven. Tell me what you think <3













Personally, I like Circe's the best. For Joven and Coro, I need to darken the pictures. But, please offer suggestions.

Joven does need to be darkened. -goes to do so- I'll be back later with updated pics.

They are good! I don't really like the wings on Circe's though....they just...look weird. I know wings are hard, but I wouldn't recommend keeping them. If your horse is a fantasy character, that's fine...but not for a real horse equine here. xD Also, don't ever leave out the hooves. I know it's hard to manage them, but really...cutting out hooves makes a pic look weird. Like the horse is just floating there. Also, on Circe's the lens flare should have been in front of her...-nods-

You did very good on smudging Circe, though the other two could use a bit more...especially Coronius. Also, borders. Borders of black really help a picture. The purple border on Joven's helps the pic a lot, but it would even moreso if it were black.

Also. Pictures cannot be any wider than 8 inches with a resolution of 72. These are like 10 inches.
You need to work on smudging the manes and tails a bit more. They are pretty much blobs right now. You could make them into threads by smudging them with a 3px brush on strength of about 85. You did very good, though.


I like Joven's the best. It looks the best, and I can see his hooves. (yes, hooves are REALLY important to most pic makers. xD)There are parts where you could smudge more, and I agree the horse should have been darkened a bit. Also, you should never change the color of eyes. You actually did very wel on colorizing it, but it looks fake. Heheh. Good job overall though, Nikki!

A+!

Oh! And also. Joven's tail is reflecting the plants around him, and there are no plants. I would give his tail a browner look instead of a greener, just to fix up the faults of the original picture. <333

Yes. And they looked so much better on my computer. I just don't understand. On this one, they look like crap.

I like Joven's the best, though, and plan to use it. <33

I do have to redo it. The edges are too apparent. Thank you, Rene, for your time.
