Artist's Comments

Hmm...
I wanted this to be the painting that made me into George Stubbs. Of course it hasn't. :XD: I haven't done anything quite so realistic without referencing before this though, I believe. Not that that's saying much. It's huge, the photoshop file, I mean, it's many pixels wide... I used a very traditional style as I'm trying to teach myself to paint traditionally..so it's all one layer. And I know I'm rambling way too much but I think I'm trying to subconsciously stop myself uploading it. I'm never as proud of things when they're 'finished' as I expect to be. But as this has been an ongoing project for ages, feel free to critique and I'll improve it. I want it to be a sort of showpiece, like Ooo look what I can paint. Only it's not quite there yet. Maybe in a year or two when I've improved more I'll go back to it and really make it decent. Maybe it's not worth it. Maybe my head is a large guava. Anyway. Enjoy.

looks like an oilpainting, even though it's digital...well done :clap:
the head, neck and shoulder area are especially great, but there's something funny about the two front legs (from the fetlocks and down) I just can't put my finger on what :XD:

wow! this is absolutly gorgeous! my only critique would be the poll is not as detailed as the rest of the horse. Add a little more detail here and it will be perfect!
