Artist's Comments

This is an image for one of the main characters we just auditioned off at The Secret : [link] . He's important, but we need to get the other positions filled because they interact heavily with him.

Darker themed images really aren't my strength, so I tried ordering an image for him at a studio, but anyone who took the order vanished and never completed it, so nearly two months later I decided to make the image myself. I think it turned out really well, the hardest part was finding stock that suited the character, and then after that was cloning those boots off his forelegs! What a task!

I'm pleased with it, though I feel a bit like something's missing. There's so much space, but I don't want to cover things up or shove things in. The working version of the image is actually over 3200 pixels wide -- hooray for quality large stock images!


Comments and crits welcome.

The only thing I can think of for this is maybe using a lighter gray horse that you could see better, but I suppose his character calls for this particular colors, so...?

Yes, his character is a dark grey. My screen is one of the brighter ones, so on some machines it will look darker than I intended.

Ah, I know my computer's a bit dark, so that's probably it.
Good luck figure out what to do with this. =)

Gorgeus m'dear ^^

... But to me it seems to be missing a back hoof. Though I'm guessing I'm having the same problem as itskokosfault.

Thanks. He actually does have all his hooves, but the far hind is too dark to see very well. I hadn't noticed how obscured it became, but yeah it is pretty hard to see.
