Character 1

I dunno if you can tell on this guy but supposedly his chin had been chewed off. >.< Any tips on making chins appear mangled would = love!!


Character 2


Character 3


Character 4

The request for the picture above was that the horse look as close to this cat as possible. I've talked to some people and they siad coloring a tie would have been a better idea (and same with the leg wraps) than trying to draw some of my own and I quite agree. 0_0

ANY tips or critiques you've got will help though. I've got skin like metal so you wont hurt my feelings. I just really need some help.

Thank you all!

One question: HL player?

I really like #3, except remember to watch out around the legs (as in #4). The script has a sort of saturation thing going on, which is ultimately distracting from the rest of the pic.

#4 definately needs some work with the tie and leg wraps-- I agree with the others, just colour the tie/etc and you'll be good to go.

#2's pretty good, except the wing's joint just melds into the zebra with no distinctness (maybe I'm just super-picky about that sort of thing xP) and the outer feathers are outlined, making them seem obvious that you added them in.

Just play around and see what happens!

Hope that helped ^.^

Ah thank you for the tips! I see now what you mean about the wings on the zebra pic. >.< They're really obvious now that you mention it.

And yeah I played HL, but that was about 5 years ago. 0_0 One of these was a HL request though from a friend. The zebra pegasus in fact. ^_^

You have such a fresh creativity, I absolutely love it. o_o

The Zebra Pegasus honestly captivated me for a while. I offer the same advice as esterni (who rules because The Hush Sound is more than love, woot!) and say to consider the edges. Possibly use other fonts to go along with the fantasy theme you have in the banners.

But really, awesome job on them!

Yeah they're awesome well done

can i assume you love horses then? lol or just drawing them

I really liked #3, infact I sat there and stared at its black horse and skeleton glory. I can't crit any of these really because I don't really use any programs (with the exception of GIMP) so I have no idea what you can and cannot do.

Better than anything I could make.
EDIT: now that I think about it that doesn't really sound like a compliment. They're really good.
