Description OMG I finally finished this guy! He was originally supposed to be Pegasus from Hercules for the 'From Comical to Classical' contest run by The Digital Painter, but I ran out of time. So I altered him slightly to have the pattern of a Snow Goose. I think these are the best wings I've done yet! Not as sure about the BG, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to tell me, I may go back and change it...

Thank you! It's not nearly as hard as people make it out to be, you just need to use muted colors and not straight grayscale

Actually I like the simple background, it puts emphasis on the movement of the figure.

And that guy looks positively wonderful. Love the muscle play and the wing pattern. Nice job!

RejectAll-American In reply to ??? [2011-01-17 03:26:07 +0000 UTC]

This is beautiful! I love how you do white horses!
I actually really like the background- it's not bare, but it's not so overwhelming that it takes away from the horse.
I think you should consider doing the Pegasus version too, I for one would like to see it...

WSTopDeck In reply to RejectAll-American [2011-01-19 01:41:53 +0000 UTC]

Haha, they really aren't as hard as everyone thinks! The key is to NOT shade with gray. Use bluegrays/violetgrays for shadow and pale creams for highlights. Or whatever color they are around, as light reflects

Glad people seem to like the BG, I wasn't sure how well it worked ^^

Lol, maybe. It would just be a paint overlay though XD I am NOT redoing the wings!

RejectAll-American In reply to WSTopDeck [2011-01-19 03:50:19 +0000 UTC]

haha, that would be my problem! I use greyscale and I can never get the whites to turn out!

And I don't blame you! Wings suck!

Oh, my gosh, this is STUNNING. I love the detail, and I think that the simplistic BG fits perfectly. Amazing work, as always.

WSTopDeck In reply to Gwynhwyfer [2011-01-19 01:37:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! It wasn't so much the simplicity that bothere me, it was more whether the light and shadow of it worked or not. ^^ But I'm glad you like it!

Wow! I love the wings and detail on it. I'm glad you decided to give it a different touch with the snow goose look. It's more original that way.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the idea, I definitely didn't want an all white one and I've always liked the (random)black on Snow Geese
