Description Paint me a river to join the stars, and we can swim among them together

Finished this painting last week but didn't manage to get a good picture of it until today =3 Just a pic of Stormslegacy.

Medium: Watercolor and colored pencil on 11X17 light watercolor paper

One of my best composition-wise but the lighting leaves a bit to be desired. I'm still learning how to do back lighting so much to take in! I think I was a bit too weak with it in the white--I was afraid of going too dark. Critique/tips/tricks especially appreciated!

Whoa, this is quite stunning!! I LOVE the colors and the shading, the background is amazing~
There isn't a right place to put wings, but to me these wings just look a little too far down.. Also the neck seems too long and the chest looks like its a tad too big.. I think the paws look very cute, but the way the front legs are bending doesn't look right.. Maybe they're too short.

I see what you're saying. I think you're right about the legs--definitely so about the next XD I had that issue once it was colored--hopefully in the next one I don't make that mistake again!

Thank you very much for taking the time to comment and critique =3

Is this based on Native American legend?

Nope, just a dream I had, Stormslegacy is my fursona =3 I do have a few NA legend based paintings in my gallery though.
