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.
:iconadverbial-spectra:
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.
