I wasn't going to share this with you mainly because the chest of the horse part is so wrong anatomy wise, but then I decided that I should show you. Because I feel like you guys should see my failures as much as you should see my accomplishments. It is important for artists, for anyone actually, to fail forward. It's like riding a horse. You never become a true rider until you have fallen a million times with your face in the dirt. I encourage you all to accept your failures, learn from them and move on!
Love you all!

Christa

Horses are hard with their mix of soft curves and hard bone.  Many pro fantasy artists just plain suck at them but won't acknowledge that fact.  I do see all the errors in the horse body, in the back half as well as the chest, and I find it admirable of you to publicly face up to it. 

I really like the inking job, too.  That is really nice and smooth - what did you use?

Nicely done, I don't really see where there are big failures here. The body of the horse looks great, and so does the torso of the woman
