SciFi and Fantasy Art: Dark Garnet

This is another of those black and white pictures I've been promising. It's a sketch I did at Uni from a photo of a Arabian Stallion. It has it's flaws but I like it.

This is a great drawing, but man... those eyes creek me out. Other than that, its a wonderful drawing.

Yeah I know, it looked really demonic originally. I though it had something to do with the eyes so I redid them and moved them further down his forehead. But dammit, he still looks "evil"

Yer creepy problem might have somethin' ta do with his pupils.. Being very small and in the center of the eye tends to produce that creepy/surprised look. (Like I really know what I'm talking about. -_-;12 It's a nifty pic tho. ^^! I'd like it better too if his colors were more solid and defined, 'specially with that background. I dunna mean to critize so much.. Surrie.. ;-;

I like your pic, Espesally the jeweled forhead. I think the eye problem has to do with horses pupils are more oval than round and they'er eyes are a bit darker, I am only guessing this though, I am no proffesional. Hope that my bit of advice helped.

I finally got off my arse ((or on it, really)) to comment. ^_^ This is a great piece, nice dip of the head. Perhaps if you moved the left eye away and the right eye a bit tilted down, it wouldn't look as creepy... But I do like this!

I agree with the people who said that the problem with the eyes is in the pupils - try making them larger and flatter. Also, you might try doing a dark outline around the edge of the eyes, so they still stand out, and shading a bit around the edges, so that there's a little "color" to the iris. Otherwise, I think it's a very good pic

yeah, definitely cool, but (as others have said...) make his pupils larger and give him irises! Horses usually don't show whites unlees they're distressed, so seeing that much and such small pupils makes us think he's nuts or rabid or something... 12

Good work, though.
