This piece is currently not finished. I'm still a newer artist, so I'm not sure what I need to fix. The horse doesn't seem to blend into the background well enough- how would I fix that? I use pixlr.x.

As well, how much should it sell for?

Switched the way the horse is facing. Which looks better?

The second way I would pay 100k+ but only have 5k lol

Hey! I think the mane reason the horse doesn't quite blend is lighting. The horse itself has a very high level of contrast due to the original setting of the horse photo. To fix this, either play with the contrast and the brightness until it looks more natural or add a layer above the horse, clip it, set it to Multiply, then go over the horse a few times (on that layer) with a black airbrush. Gaussian blur and play with the opacity to your liking. Pricing I'd say 35-45k <3

Updated version. I like it, but all you Tier 1 or 2 artists out there... any advice?

Much improved! Looks good to me! <3

I think this is pretty good but what's throwing me off the most I think is the hair. Most hair in real life isn't going to flow in the wind in blocky chunks unless your hairdresser messed up real bad XD

I would sugesst cutting it down just a bit and redrawing the ends to have a more flowy feel instead of the blocky look they have currently, also fly away strands!! Hair is not just one blob of strands, those strands have individual movement that makes up the hair so there is bound to be fly away strands, hope this helps I'm not the best at give advice or tips on anything but this is what I think would help

Also the shadow, shadows are more defined near the base of the object casting it and blur out a bit the farther you go
