Hey, here is a pic I've just finished. I'm trying to build a 'fantasy art' portfolio that I will submit to publishing places and whatnot for freelance work. Anyway, any critiques or comments would be greatly appreciated. Right now, I'm generally happy with the picture, with some areas that bother me..like the face, and maybe the overall contrast.



Thanks

Very, very pretty. I love the colors and the sense of movement, but I think it needs one or two more go-overs to bring out some more detail, then you'll be kicking.

It looks like a solid picture. Everything's well drawn, and I like the concept.

As for suggestions, this could just be me but I'm just really not feeling a great sense of motion in the picture. The arrows are good, but the horse and rider seem stiff and static. Maybe exaggerating the horse's pose a bit could help. Also try using softer edges to create a sense of motion. The cape, for instance, is tattered and flapping behind him in the wind, yet, in this picture, it just looks like a flat plane attached to his shoulder. Use blurs and softer edges to show that motion, and save the hard edges to draw the focus towards the rider.
