Criticism:
This design really blew me away. I like how all the colours blend well togther as well as the colour companion was a good decision. The tones and pattern of this one is like a contrast of light and drak, which I like in the tail, legs and nose. I belive that simple designs of Wild Mountain Equids are the most interresting and unique ones, compaiered to the other as they all have the same type of design structure. I love plain ones. I think they are special for some reason. The eyes are simply goeourgous... a very well choose, as I thnk it goes amazingly well with this one as it stands out to the design, which i love. Although, this is your second design for the WME Adopts, I think you have done a great job with this one!

Now... with my point outs and few changes. I believe you could add one more color or two... I know I said I like it simple, but I think with just a lighter colour, it would look wonderful. With the mane, I do like the idea with it, but I think that the black should have come all the way down until the body. To me it looks like they gold-ish part is attached with the body, as it is the same colour. Don't be afraid to try new styles, colours and patterns! Try use different tools and brush sizes to get a unique look for you future and hopefully designs... I think you will be amazing with this! *wink wink*

Well, I tried to do a constructive criticism and I hope this helps with your next Wild Mountian Equids...
Good Luck!

Crit: I'm really not sure you need any but one thing I would do it s blend on the pattern lines a bit to make them softer and less ragged.

Critique:
It is a difficult task to critique a design simply because the design in something of pure innovation from the artist themselves. There are a few techniques that I can show you that may or may not have already been stated. First, Don't be afraid of different colors. Sometimes the more colors you successfully incorporate, the more attractive your design may be to others. I also must caution you to be wary or the line between exotic and busy. Exotic is simply a lively, sometimes complex design, but a busy piece can almost ruin a design. The design you created was quite simple, congrats! Simplicity is also a good path to follow. It's safe, and it can look great if you make every detail work!

Detailing is really the key to making your work pop in the eyes of its viewers. Try and zoom in really close and make designs follow muscles and curve with the body. It shows you really know what you're doing! Here's some detailing tips below.
•Fading: Fade designs into the base color of the body where you see fit
•Points, markings, and lighter areas: The blender tool is probably the most convenient tool ever created. To make a designs more interesting, add some pointmarkings. These are usually darker, but do whatever you want! Just put a splotch of color on the creatures points and blend them in with the blender. Facial markings can also be blended or left alone depending on your preference. Blend in lighter areas that may tend to get more sun if you want.
•Brindle color: The natural world has some hard to do brindling. Equid brindling is a little easier to work with. Try adding some tapering ends, and just look at some brindled animals for more information.


I tried keeping it short and sweet. Good luck as an artist! These tips were very general and may or may not apply to you.

Constructive critism: the lines going around his body don't form to muscle anatomy. Try to make the lines confirm to wear his muscles are more promenit.

Equid age: 4 years

Crit: I really like him a lot, good coloration and a simple design are some of my favorites. If there would be anything I think would look better is a little bit more variation in the color, like a grullo type style with added dark to light colors on the stripes, maybe even a little pink on the muzzle. Don't be afraid to be eccentric on these cute little guys, different is what they aim for But really, REALLY good job for you second one, keep up the good work!

He remind's me of this song [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR6cD64e7X8]Victimized[/url] ^^
Along with this song [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g-dHTrNNGQ]Castle Of Glass[/url].
How? Victimized is usually wild and crazy, I picture his personality and coat ^^ wild and crazy ^^
How? The stallion looks like cracking glass to me to. His bay reminds me of the glass and the brindling looks likes crack's to me^^

The two song's go with the name and him well to me ^^
BUT! That's my oppinion, so.. Yeah... Beautiful coat, beautiful bay, I luff's him even if I don't win him ^^

Crit: love his coloring. He is really diffrent from other equids. He has a very diffrent look which I love. The only thing I would have added is maybe some more equid looking stripes but only maybe like 3 or 4 around his body. other than that i love him.

Constructive Criticism: First i'd like to suggest using a few more colors, maybe brighter ones like white or a gold color. And make the patterns cleaner and and maybe in specific places like the shoulders, rump, or head. I do like how you made the eyes more noticable by making them bright on the dark base, though a lot of people like equids that have unique facial patters.Good work for your second one!

My Crits: I would add more color. If you use different shades of brown, using some more to the red side of the spectrum, and a few the the more yellow, then you could blend it in and make different streaks of color. Also, when you do the brindling, you could make the stripes wider, and maybe include white or light gray in the middle. You coukd add more brindle as well. There isnt that much one this equid, and it adds to their design if you put more brindle. If you use the airbrush, then you could give different parts of the squid differnt tints, which usually looks pretty. Another thing you could do is add a little detail to the face. The muzzle could be a little bit darker that the rest of the body, and you could accomplish that with the burn tool. You could use the dodge tool to add lighter streaks to the body. I think the tail itself could also use a bit more patter, it looks a bit bland. Some white brindle would look good and add add a bit of contrast. You could also put a grey sock or stocking on one of his hind legs. And maybe a snip on his muzzle. That's all I can think of, I'll tell you if I come up with more. Oh, and the eyes are perfect. I love it when they are vivid shades of blue or green ^^
