aww as lond as the viewers are pleased then thats wonderful. I know people say artists shouldnt preform for the viewers, but ya'lls opinions, to me, are more important than mine. Thanks a lot

I agree. If you dont like it, that's fine, but you dont get noticed drawing stuff that people dont like. Every artist wants to be admired a little.

Even if you dont like it, you still deem it good enough to go on dA. ^^ Makes it pretty damn good.

I love the "fleabites" across his neck and his regal stance; they're both very attractive and really capture the viewer's attention. However, I think you could put a bit more detail into the mane. It's simply not as lively and flowing as your usual and, while it doesn't detract from the image, it doesn't really do much for the illusion of movement, either. Just a thought...

well thankyou. I just dont know about his mane, in the ref. pic it is completely white and is translucinated by some light, so there is little detail. I know i can mimic the effect without some sort of bg, but i didnt want to guess without any guidlines bc i am very bad at that, haha. Ill think on it, but thanks so much for the tip.

Maybe you could just add some shading to the background.. Just a flat tone might bring out the mane some more, and make the subject stand out as a whole.

i was thuinking about it, but i dont want to put too much effort into something i dont care A whole lot abput and then risking messing it up even more. maybe in the future when i really dont have anything to lose, but since this is a fresh finished piece ill let it sit a while

Its always a good idea to let something sit a while and then come back to it Maybe the perfect solution will come to you in your sleep!
