Description
This picture has a mega high resolution.Before anyone goes 'lakes aren't that colour' yes they are. In the mountains. It's from rock flour.
Kazik chases down his dinner. I love this picture a lot - it's my current desktop background. I finally figured out how to do mountains with snow too, though it still looks kinda shitty. Same with the foreground. Oh well, can't have everything in life, can we? Maybe next time.
Yes, starfers think horses are delicious. I needed a predator that hunted my favourite animal.
Mr. Stallion there doesn't fancy his fate. If anyone has a problem with the fact that I included his man parts, then they shouldn't look at their pet Fido when he rolls over displaying his when he wants a belly rub. Animals don't wear underwear. It's a fact of life. Not including their male parts is a severe anatomical fault, though I can understand why people do it. I'm just obsessed with proper anatomy.
Rawr. I like Kazie's hooves.
Now I'm blathering.
No critique k?
All my critters are getting full anatomically correctness from now on. It just doesn't look right when I don't add a certain part that I've only added for the first time in this picture.
For WIPs of this picture and some tips on using Photoshop for lineart and stuff, check out my scraps gallery!
EDIT APRIL 23rd 2008: On excellent critique from my teacher, I added some filters to make the mountain and the other side of the lake look more distant. (A blue one and a white one.) I also coloured the lines to make the characters stand out less, put a layer of shadow on the lake and added general detail to the ground beneath Kazik's and his prey's hooves. I also added a small amount of dust, all to make them look less like they were floating. I think the picture looks much improved now!
It's also now a print.

You're really good with motion and expressions on creatures' faces. It's very easy to read what's going on within the picture. Very nice work!

Thanks I think I'm getting better at this sort of thing
I try to bring in natural animal body language as well as the humanish expressions.... I hope that shows

xD this is so very cool, and yet THE WOLF THING CREEPS ME OUT!
it's just my anatomy knowledge shouting "AHHHH!" at me, but seriously, it's cool.
Such a unique concept and scary ;_;

It's really unique, hahaa. Man, creepy, though.
I think it's how absolutely horse-like it is, otherwise. Wonder how the design would look if it was a more ancient horse... the ones that still had secondary hooves. They could be dew claws

Seeing as I always have to read stuff three or four times, I love it when people draw proper anatomy on their pictures. I do. :3 If it's a stallion, it's going to have what makes him so. Period. Unless he's a Shim. XD poor shim/she-he horsies of mine.
I'll have to remember the lake coloration when I go to try a wright. Because I didn't know that. :3

I've seen lakes even brighter in the Rocky Mountains
lol Kazik is pretty fast - when he's motivated. Right now his stomach is making him run. Never know though... Mr. Stallion could be injured.
