This one I did a while ago and it came out pretty good. The mercenary rides by the spring unaware of the reflection in the water. Is it a reminder of the past or a gateway to the future or is it just showing her true nature?

This one is definately my fave in your gallery. I love it when people use sillohettes and reflections. It really is beautiful. And congrats on the background, I'm always too lazy to draw one.

A very complete picture! The background is excellent, and the mirror image in the water is very nice, and the horse is well done, especially the head! I also think that the proportions are very good (I have problems with these, not easy ^^;;!!) Beautiful 1

The hores isn't bad at all. I really think you need to study up more on a proper seat, any good rider could tell you she is to far back on the horse. That wouldn't feel right, and you can get unbalanced easier. Plus, her heels are up, and she needs to get her leggs under. This girl is one jump away from falling. I do like the picture's over all composition, I just about stood on my head trying to gett a better look at the reflection!

:-) Heather Carroll replies: "Oh...umm...hmmm... Sorry, I don't think I had even ridden a horse when I drew this. I was mostly worried about the horse actually looking like a horse, cause drawing horses is not my forte. I guess rider stance isn't either. Next time I draw a person riding a horse I'll know, thanks!"
