-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!"

Oooh it’s super pretty! I love the white marking and the eye, really striking

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!
Oakmoss Stud

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
Asfamoth
04:45:23 Asfa
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.
Oakmoss Stud
04:39:48 Oak
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 :)
Ashcroft Park Stud
04:38:53 Ash
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
Asfamoth
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...

Really curious to see how my gaggle of boys do, shame none of them managed a W in bravery.

I would say, in this one the mane looks like the fly away hairs were smudged and the base hairs were sharpened. The head looks nice, but it kind of looks like whatever you did to the head, you didn't do the same to the body. Regardless, this is still a very good piece.

I really couldn't find anything to nit-pick on the other pieces. Lol! Great work! <3

I know that feeling! I'd advise, if you're not 'feeling' the vibes don't choose that stock, and if you choose stock that seems hard to work with, choose something else or take your time. Quality is better than quantity. ;D

Receiving art critique helped me lots when I was starting out (and still does)! Art is a constant process of finding your style and the techniques you prefer to use.

http://oi66.tinypic.com/vdn4v4.jpg
On this piece, the shining eye and the golden overlay on the horse's face contradict each other. If the eye is glowing, the horse's high points on the face should be highlighted by the glow of the eye. It is also unclear in the art why the golden overlay is there or where it came from. The mane fly aways look good, but as TWO said, be sure to smudge the stock's mane so it matches. I would also not do as severe of a blur on the background. You want to make it where the viewer can tell what the background is but just enough blur so it doesn't look crisp and you can't see small details.

On this piece, I REALLY love your mane! It looks great - definitely a good start. Manes are still such a challenge for me. However, the mane looks smudged so you need to match the body to the mane. Try smudging over the body with a soft brush on a low strength. Work in the direction of the hairs if you want it to look very natural. Also I am not sure what the white streak is. Is is light or is it fog? If it is light, the horse's highlights need to be drawn on in that color and perhaps give it a more golden glow. The blurring of the background looks okay but try to blend it out a bit to make it more natural. When you zoom in, the unblurred trees look quite awkward because the bottom is blurred while the rest of the tree is sharp.

I hope this all makes sense!

THIS HELPS SO MUCH!
the orange glow was from the backround haha and it sort of went a bit to "vibrant"

and the white streak was minda random lol ,it was supposed to be a light :)
