Description
This is an editorial of Bellephoron (if people know how to spell his name properly give me a buzz) catching Pegasus. Deliberately left out the bridal...I figured the tiny horse in the huge hand was enough of an indication *grin*Related content

That's beautiful!!! I love the shading and the detail. And the awesome awesome pegasus and cloud. I'm speechless...
well, if i have to be picky, I'll pick on the guy's nose a little, for greek (if he is greek that is) usually has really high nose bridge.

Lovely work. Pegasus is great and I love the stylized hair on B (great way to avoid spelling his name). Great detailing and the lighting is wonderful. The wings look a little awkward though.

Well, the individual wings themselves look amazing, you've drawn them with such detail. When compared to each other and the body though, they look, to me, to be oriented strangely.
-When compared to eachother, the wings go off at strange angles, which, i guess, was to incorporate them into the piece without blocking important elements like the B's face. While wings can move independently of one another, for the most part they move in unison, which is why the differing angles of the wings seem odd.
-Both wings, also, seem oriented too much towards the viewer, which would be quite an awkward position physically, especially considering the the orientation of the body which means that the right wing would have to be rotated significantly more than the other to be viewed as it is.
I'm sorry, I don't know if I've properly conveyed my thought process on this one, it would be easier if you took a model horse and two pieces of paper for wings, and created in a 3-D environment the same view that you've drawn, and then looked at it from different angles, you would be better able to see what I am trying to put into words.
I don't want to sound overly critical, you are a talented artist, much more so than myself, and you've created a truly lovely piece, but since I criticized it in the first place I've tried to make my reply this time as constructive as possible, since everyone deserves a well thought-out critique, not just a vague criticism.

I understand perfectly what you mean...*grin* And you're right, I oriented the wings that way so B's face wouldn't be obscurred...as for why teh wings look so front facing, in teh initial layout, they were more natural, but the feathers where slimmer as a result so it all looked too bunched together. Mind you, I do agree that I exagerated just how forward they are
Thank you so much for the critique...I love them...they help me inprove myself...^_____^
