It is not only those with arms who can dance. Prismas with digital enhancement. Updated for better shading and clouds.

I really like the perspective on this one, it's fantastic. There are a few anatomy problems, particularly in the legs, but the wings look great. It seems as if perhaps your scanner ate some of the feather detail, which is a shame.

Actually, I think you can fix the front leg problem by deepening the shadows under the knee. I didn't even see the knee joints the first time I looked at this.

I really like the pose, except for the forelegs. I am, however, in love with the idea of a blood bay pegasus, which this almost is. He just needs black socks. I realize that winged creatures would, in scientific theory, have larger chest muscles, but it looks like the forelegs, rather than the wings, are stuck on like candles. This could probably be reduced by having the forelegs doing something other than sticking straight down.

:-) Kerry S. Boyd replies: "They're actually angled a bit back at the knee and the hoof is curled under slightly... I didn't want them to be sticking straight out and down, but I don't guess I did the shadows deep enough for the bends to be seen properly. I'll do my best to fix that and update this pic soon."

I agree with Cynthia, the perspective on this is fabulous. There is a lot of movement to this that gives it a lot of energy. It's a wonderful work, excellent job.

The legs look better now, and the shadows look much richer. I think that if you went back and zoomed in a lot and worked on smoothing out all of the little pixelated areas that you could make this an outstanding piece with just a little more work. The clouds look very good.

I love the color that you put on this. It looks fabulous. Well done.

Oh yeah, I would suggest using the 'smudge' tool on those clouds to smooth them out.

:-) Kerry S. Boyd replies: "Unfortunately, I've been working with Corel Photo House... it doesn't have a smudge tool."

That looks like fun! I like it's positioning and coloring

:-) Kerry S. Boyd replies: "I agree; aerial acrobatics would be extremely fun. I'm glad you like it... I've been toying with the idea of going over it again now that I have PSP. Partly so I can get the clouds to look like clouds and not blocks of pixels. >..< </font>"
