-HEE Click- Did a quick piece for my girly instead. (I know the sabino isn't the same, I'm gonna reroll her to something closer later.)

Oh that's beautiful! Suitably different from the other use of it posted earlier, imo, it's a different feel :)

I just feel guilty posting it at the same time. I've got stock sitting around to use that I know has been used before, but this just feels wrong.
I could *maybe* redo it with a different stock.

Asfa, unless the idea seems to be really similar, like same horse recolour, atmosphere, theme, and so on, I really don't see anyone being upset about it (or even having the right to be upset, in my honest opinion). Free stock is free stock. I even find horse stock from others' art and go "Oooo I want to use that in the future!"

Yeah I dug it out from the depths of Adobe. But I suppose I can show it if I'm just going to stash it.

It was my first attempt at messing with white markings and I kinda really like the fur.

Yeah, same except I mostly use Adobe… I guess it might be a bit awkward if you’ve used the same horse and background together but (personally) I don’t see a problem with that. Unless someone has bought sole rights to an image (unlikely and not an option through Adobe!) they’ve no recourse

Fair play! You could always post it in the future 😊 Although now I’m curious to see it!

I basically only ever pull stock from Colourize-Stock and DancesWithPonies, so I'm convinced all of my horse stock has been used before xD but I get what you mean, it does make it a little awkward when they're directly next to each other in the forum

Naw, it was just a "f*ck around and find out" piece so I think I'll leave it. I don't wanna be that person.

Definitely still post it! There's only so much stock in the world, and I'm sure your style is still unique enough to be different :)

If it were me, I’d still post it - such is the way of stock images that you’re bound to get people using the same combos! If you’re worried you could add in when you started the piece into the description for your auction

04:34:37 Asfa
Oh man this is awkward. I *just* finished an art piece and was about to put it up for auction... only to find someone posted one earlier today with the exact same stock. Now I don't know what to do with it...

I'm working on this piece, but I don't like the current result. I feel like something is missing, and the horse and the bg don't blend into one. Any tips on how can I turn this to one piece of art, instead a horse badly pasted on a bg pic, is appreciated.

maybe duplicate the backround, make it the top layer, blur so nothing in it is recognisable [blob of colour] and switch to either overlay or oft light depending on what suits then lower opacity or duplicate

aswell as that try feather selecting some of the backround and blurring a tad

Agree with Scarlett.

Blue the BG a little, then lasso the BG where the horse is galloping and sharpen it. Puts focus more on the horse rather then the BG.

Blur the farther stuff like the water and go to color balance and hue the horse to your preferance just don't go crazy!

I believe that the face marking is throwing off the piece.
Take the opacity down a bit and allow some of a creamier color to blend with the face. Also, I would take a peachier pink and use it more lightly for the muzzle and lastly, I would use a more jagged select to make it "tougher" and use my smudge tool to smudge little hairs into the marking around the edges

The roan as well is too harsh. It separates the head from the body too much. Try feathering a lot more

blur the background, increase a bit the contrast and play with lighting. maybe a bit of sharpening could help too

Overall, with the things mentioned above,

Its an awkward pose on an awkward background.
The background is using both warm and cool hues and even the more talented artists would struggle to flow this together as set up.

Thank you guys for all the help/advice. I'll work some more on it, or just drop it if it's too hard for me.
