Description

Krull once was this little rich boy bored of his life, the only thing he had to do was to take care of his two sisters, because his parents were gone, gone to a place that they would never come back.
One day, he got upset, he ran and ran into the forests of Woohlag until he got lost. He cried a lot until he heard some strange noises that freaked him out. It was nothing but a little pegasus, which Krull got in love with, and named Graslath.
It has been years since then, and krull is now a man, owner of his parents' kingdom. When he has the chance, he get out with Graslath, on an exciting flight, discovering new territories and lands, he finds this peaceful.

About the picture, this took me two weeks to get it done, I was preparing it
I had to look at tons of horses photos because I've never drawn one before. This was done in 50% photoshop, 50% painter. Dedicated to all GFX community who helped me out. Thanks so much! Greetings to everyone ;-)

I hope you like :)

The pose and elegance of the rider and his pegasus are quite fitting in this setting and atmosphere. As a whole this image has a fantastic mood seen in the sky and ground. The composition here is fairly good, except the right wing of the pegasus seem absent or hidden behind it's toso. After looking at it for a little while it would seem the right wing needs to be seen even if it would be foreshortened. The rider fits the scene in all aspects except for his size, if he were to be scaled down it might make it look less awkward. 6/8

It's very, very plastic-y, I am afraid. All textures are practically the same, i.e. smudgy, except the hair and wing which are mechanically detailed in contrast with the rest. There is little difference between foreground and background, the lighting (and, subsequently, volume) is inconsistent in every part of the image. For instance, the strong highlight on the horse's chest and face does not register either on its fore legs or the rider, but mysteriously appears on the horse's haunch which ought to be in shadow. The cloak is simply flat.

Try working without smudging, in spots of tone - that will help you with getting the volume right. Try working without color, even - using five grades from black to white. Make sure your sketch is entirely right before detailing, and do not add detail because it "is there" like the individual hairs or feathers: use only what can be seen, not what could, theoretically, be seen with a telescope in some parts of the picture.

Loomis would help here too, I think. If you have not got the books yet, off to fineart.sk you go.

I saw this in the WIP forum and I think the final piece has turned out pretty well. There are lighting issues as mentioned, but those can easily be fixed. The horse's legs seem to be unfinished also...keep up the great work! +7

ARZILLIER66: thanks! More volume huh? I'll consider it. thank you very much!

loneorbit: thank you :) I actually did the right wing but it gave me lots of problems. I though about fading it with the background but it totally dissappear. I painted it again and again... I agree with you about the size thing. See ya!

Fyralath: Thanks so much, the sky made me crazy hahahaha. I also agree with the comment :)

Ivanuss: Master? jjejejejejej gracias. Las alas son difíciles amigo, pero hice lo mejor que pude, prometo mejorar :p

arenhaus: I appreaciatte the feedback. Thanks!

deankuhta: Thank you! So you saw my WIP thread hehe, it appreciated very well

banduviC: Heeeeeeeey te has unido por acá jajaja. Bien, jejee gracias por el feedback. Me saludas al Tom que chica sorpresota se va a dar :p

YanaVaseva: Thank you. I know these are not my best wings. See ya!

This is a totally cute pice of art :)
A couple of things that caught my attention is that the person has a straight profile, which makes it looks as if he it turning his head almost painfully to the side, but this might just help the impression of dynamics, which I think it great that you are doing with this piece. More dynamic pieces is good, I have to do the same myself, hehe.

I would consider scaling the eye of the horse a little down, and move it a little further back on his head.

So OK, it's not perfect, but I've seen the improvement it's gone through at the wip forum and to me that's worth a lot. ^_^
I like the consistancy of the colours, which, apart from the bluish hair, get repeated all over the pic, making it look integrated. Maybe you could've added some variety if you made the foreground colours a bit more intense or saturated and kept the less saturated for the background. That would help in separating background and foreground while keeping the integrated look.
The clouds look quite good in my opinion, you can see the different thickness and volumes.

I really enjoyed reading the little story that came out with the painting, very interesting hehehe.
I agree with Banduvic about the hand, It looks flat.
The background is very well done, And I aslo agree about the fact that it lacks the right wing. But overall, It's a great piece of art! 7/8

Thank you for all comments and support

henning: I think you're right, I turned my head backwards and it hurts! XD, thank you so much, I didn't know that you were gonna like it . I see it is dynamic, well, your piece "Fly with Me" looks dynamic haha. The eye is big, I know but I liked it. Thanks Hen for all your support!

Goldstyles: Thank you so much! Cool photo manipulation by the way (the dinosaur skull one ).

Manshi: Well, I can't do anything perfect, I think the greatest artist ever also can't, thanks about the improvement! Thanks for feedback, I'll take it in mind for future pieces. See you!

Crazyboy: So you read the story, you made me happy I have to admit that I was lazy to work more on the hand, I won't do it anymore, I promise!. By the way, do you speak spanish? Banduvic is a friend of mine, actually she is kind of girlfriend of one of my best school friends, and you seem to understand her critique ehee. See you later!

Hey I like this,
but I agree with the other comments.
The boys head is turned too far to the side and the horse head seems kinda "wrong" (?)
And maybe the light at the boys head should be faded a bit into shadow...

but overall very nice -esp. the wings...

I like that you trying to learn from the people here and I'd always try to help you if I can.
Horse anatomy is still has much to improve and ,honestly, don't be upset but you can work another week on this) - I mean anatomy, perspective and pose
I'm not a fan of the blurred bg, but the colours're very nice. I like the colour palette here.
Keep working and keep asking:)

sometimes I want to kick myself for missing out on some great posts here,this is one of them, I rea the comments everyone else left you and agree, I think this is a strong effort, the details are all there, and there is a sense of mood, I can't really paint so I don't know all the terms but I think this is a great start, I look forward to you next post +10
