Artist's Comments

*edit* Thank you sooo much for the amazing critiques! They were really helpful, and I've now fixed it up according to them. I hope it looks better ^^
I've now lengthened the head, blurred and shaded the ripples, added grass, and more branches and a few other little things. I hope it looks better!! :D

Bwa. Ha. Ha. :faint: Guess what time it is??? that's right, it's 2 in the morning. And I just finished this. Neheheh.

So, the reason for cherry blossoms... some time last fall my global studies teacher mentioned that there were cherry trees near the school. Me: ooh.... sounds pretty... And I never forgot about it, I waited and waited for spring for them to bloom. And then, the last day before spring break, I see them. And I was happy. :XD: I was also inspired by this pretty piece: [link] though mine's not as good. But... I'm satisfied with the water. That was really hard. I spent like an hour on it before, then decided it sucked and had to start over...
Well anyway, I'm glad it's finished. :D But it was fun. I didn't expect to finish on the first day of spring break, but... oh well, I'll just have to start something else >D

Oh my holy macaronies! :omfg:
You have to stop beeing so totally awesome! it scares me :O
and your improvment is epic! I remember like a christmas gift you gave me.. and I thought it was totally perfect and incredible! and it was! but you have improved incredible much! over like only 3 months :confused:
Thats some serius skills hon! keep on improving like this! :hug:
hmm, when you say 2 in the morning.. do you mean 2AM? thats the best time to draw :XD: but that means, now it should be like 4am in your time... and its 10am here.. which means im 6hours before you :paranoid: *puts that in my memory* uuuh, random and weird, I know :XD:
anyway! maybe I should say something about the actual drawing?
But I dont know what to say, im speechless! such masterpices (is that how it is spelled?) like this doesnt exist :love:
Your talant is so awesome! I just cant get over how good you are! and how fast you gotten this good! :wow:
its just.. amazing! have you ever thought about comissions or something.. or making money of your art? I mean, you are good eunough for it! :aww:
this is just breathtaking! are there any lines btw? I cant see them! but I mean, you can still clearly see for example where his/hers right backleg start and the stumich "ends"!! Brilliant work :clap:
and I love the pose! and the expression! looks kinda curious :giggle:
and the anatomy is like perfect! gosh! I dont understand how you do it!! :faint:
The shading and the muscles is totally stunning! :omg: wow! and you have made so many details that so many artists forget about! for example like where the mane ends, a little further down on the neck you kinda made like a muscle or I dont know what exactly to call it, but thats something that is very anatamiycly right! well done hunnie :clap:
I just love the background! :love: Water is hard to do, but you made it flawless :aww:
The trees are also incredibly amazing!! :wow:
I luff this! :heart:
hmm.. it says you want critique.. hmm.. well, everything is perfect! I cant seriusly think of anything.. hmm.. maybe, on his/hers right backleg.. like, the leg that is further back or whatever you call it.. maybe try to not make it as bold? uuh, I really dont know how o say it ^^; But like in this picture [link] ... the backleg thats not in front look kinda slender ^^
Thats really all I can think of.. everything else is perfect! :omg:
okay, now Im going to stop! I dont wanna make your inbox overflow with comments :XD:
:iconryolit:
I love it!
It really has that peaceful feeling about it and I really like how the cherry blossoms are falling on the water.:)
:iconcricketwings:
Whew! You were my first "official" DA critique :D And I disagree about the above comment, I think the legs are aligned just fine :) Ahh great work overall! <3 :heart:

Also, I'll have you know that I am especially picky with the art that goes into my "equine" collection, and this totally made it in ;)
