My WIP Thread :

My Newborn is from the concept of the Greek mythology story of the birth of Pegasus that sprang from Medusa's neck as Perseus was beheading her. The birth of Pegasus.
*NOTE- I added a nebula for the background to help the "Newborn" concept and the stars makes Pegasus's constellation.


Thank you all so much for the wonderful feed back and the honored DD!

Birth Of Pegasus by ~LindaLisa is visually stunning and disturbing at the same time. ( Featured by $Moonbeam13 )
:iconallycat265:
I love this artwork. However, there are a few things that are misplaced. But that's what makes us human- right?

Anyway, the hooves on the Gorgon's body should sink in a little bit more, rather than floating atop it. I know you were going for a snake-like appearance, but snakes are soft. Hooves are hard, therefore the hoof would sink in a little bit more. Not trying to be too harsh, just being truthful.

The blood in the tail sunk in, but there should probably be a pool by the base so it makes sense that the tail has blood in it. However, I like the way that it jumped up.

I love the eye and face, but the muzzle might need a little bit more transition, for it goes from grey to dark brown. Or it might be a bloodstain and I misinterpreted.

I love the technique of the wings, it is lovely! However, the blood wouldn't droop off of it, it would drip. Not a ruiner, but it makes the piece look a little less realistic. The shading technique you used is lovely and worked quite well.

The Gorgon was split rather effectively in half, ad I love the snakes coming out of the stomach. However, as I stated earlier, the snakey part needs to be a little 'softer' so that the hoof can sink in.

The raised leg on Pegasus looks a little awkward. The knee needs to be a little bit larger, and the hock a little smaller. However, it still looks great.

The fire seems to be climbing from the top of its cage, which really makes it look strange. I'd suggest adding a tinge of blue inside the cage and trying to get the fire to emanate from there.

All in all, this is a lovely piece, with much imagination and potential. The bloodstains on the floor ar every realistic, and it looks almost as if the Gorgon is having her last spasm before death (might that be the reason for the hooves not sinking in?). I love the background and characters in this piece, good job.

Absolutely stunning piece, very detailed. Love it to bits.
I truly admire the layering style you've incorporated into the wings.
Personally, the only improvement I think to make it perfect is the effect of the blood on the fur.

Surely the blood would stain the fur of the horse, not hang off it.
This isn't a serious, angry criticism. Just something I think will make the picture absolutely perfect.

The use of sinew hanging off Pegasus and still half-clinging to the carcass is a good effect. It gives the feeling of truly ripping himself out of his shell.

All in all... You should be very proud. :heart:

Fabulous! Really captures Pegasus's beauty while letting the ferocity of its birth (that is often hidden) show as well. Lovely piece, very tastefully done.
