@savannah. :: i really love your animation, the coloring is lovely
and the frames are wonderful~ I'd just suggest adding more frames in when she tosses the ball,
also make the ball more stable when it's in the air c:

@dia :: oh, your horse is beautiful ! horse anatomy was always so hard for me ;u;
the legs are very well done especially, i'd just say make the neck slightly shorter
and the head a bit bigger/longer~

—————

okay, so for this piece i know the anatomy errors i made ;u;
so could i please just mostly get critique on the shading/overall look ?
thank you ♥

Thank you guys for the advice! c: I don't think I'll be making any changes to this animation in particular because I have a ton of other stuff to do, but I will keep in mind stability (if I ever animate tossing again) and add more frames ^-^

Zeph- that's adorable! I love it. The front leg that is farthest from us seems slightly off, but that's being pretty picky... I think it looks awesome.

Calix - that's cute. <3 I can't be much help, as I fail at felines... /:

Introducing Grazioso

My pose reference was a picture of one of my trainer's horses. :3
This guy was really fun to design. <3
I realize that the hooves are a little wonky. Any other comments or critique?
Does anyone have an idea on breed for this guy too?

I'm reposting this since I want a little more input on the horse...

To everyone who critiqued onvthe head- the head is fine as it is turned slightly towards us! Though the muzzle should be enlarged just a tad. XD just throwing it out there for shucks n giggles. Lol.

Ok, ma review- im not certain of the breed as it has aspects of several. For example, the shoulders have the slop and look of an Andalusian while the quarters look to belong to the quarter horse. The neck gives me the impression of an Akal-Teke, the head of a Crillo and the hind legs of a thoroughbred. Lol. Its a really nice piece you did though for that horse I would suggest lowering the belly a bit and thicken the back legs some as well. It looks as though the shoulder/chest area is weighing it down while the back legs are trying to keep the quarters, which look a bit large because of the thin legs, up. I hope thos helped you out for next time! really nice piece though. I love the way you color.

To Zeph- that looks really nice though I think the shading is to bold which gives it a harsh and unnatural look. Try softening the shading towards the ends a bit.

@bast :: thank you very much, though the shading
is like that because it's the style of shading —
cell-shading, it's different from soft shading c;

thank you though ♥

You should fix your lighting then because im not sure which direction its comming from. You shaded everywhere so I don't know where the light source is. Lol.

okay i'll keep that in mind :U
( though it's from the right mainly, that's why the highlights are there )

Bast- thank you for the critique! I was thinking I might label him as an azteca, even though he has a fairly light build. Thanks for the input!

[Bast]

Not a problem! Always glad to help with horse anatomy. ^_^ so don't be afraid to ask me anytime.

@doctordraca :: ooh warpaint :> i love your style and skill with humanssss
the only thing that throws me off a little is the lips, they look almost ... pursed?
unless that was your intention of course, i don't know much about human anatomy xD

Awww, thanks. <3
Could be, could be.. I normally draw heavily stylised lips so it's good to get some feedback on that little detail.
I'll see if I can play around with the lips so make them look better.

DoctorDraca- Those ears <3 That's stunning, good job ^^

Thank youuuu

Zephayer, that looks pretty neat. I love the green fur and yellow eyes that stand out.
Mind your shading, though. Keep a consistent lightsource. Right now it seems the shading is random and lightsources are coming from multiple directions. The lightsource is coming from the front of the animal, yet the back suggests it's coming from there too, but that conflicts with the shading put on the hind legs. What helps is to draw a little lightsource so you know where to shade and such.
I really love how you do eyes, though. Very vibrant and shiny. C:

I normally pretty much dislike anything I make in the oekaki, but I don't mind this too much. So, I'll share it.

Some old OC of mine. He used to be a "hot" angel with long, vibrant hair, colourful eyes and an amazing face. Now he's a grumpy angel with darker colours. Still not too sure on the colour of his wings, but as they're more symbolically drawn here, I suppose it doesn't matter. I completely screwed up the glasses but as I've worked with limited layers, that'd be quite a task to fix. /lazy

Ok guyz!

Need a little help with a drawing of my 'pack' (What I like to call them) which are my RL friends.
Just a sketch at the moment but redlining would be awesome!



Me in the middle, to my right (If your looking out of the pic) is Aiki, the girl next to her we'll call Trippy and the girl to my other side we'll call Ratchet just for the purpose of specifying one another.

I won't put up their pictures for privacy and safety but I do need help with the anatomy as such which makes it rather hard but there is really no other way.

Me: I have a rather, oval type face that slants off toward the end but not dramatically and my face is quite curved. My eyes I would say are small - medium. I am of average size, skinny but not dramatically so. My hair is relatively straight however in the pic I was using as reference I have the one lock of hair that curls.

Aiki: She has a face that could be called almost diamond shaped when she smiles but not angular, when not smiling her face is oval shaped but more circular than mine. Her eyes are small and when she smiles you can hardly see them at all. Her hair is probably down to her shoulder blades and she is bigger in size than me but not massive and she also is slightly shorter than me. <3

Ratchet: She is very slim because of her fast metabolism and has an oval face bordering on rectangular although not at all defined, she has small to medium shaped eyes with extremely curly hair that she usually has tied back.

Trippy: She has an oval shaped face that slants of steeply toward the chin which is rounded, she is taller than me but the same height as Ratchet, her eyes seem to slant off more toward the end like Aiki's. Her nose is slightly larger than the rest of the group (but still gawjus!;)) and I am having trouble capturing that.
