Shading looks pretty good indeed, my only glitch is that when the neck hits the body there's a visible vertical line separating both parts.
Some mixing there should fix it.

Also, for digital painting using a tablet, i strongly recommend painter (Corel Painter) over photoshop.

i got a newer version of corel painter. some of it is done in corelpainter i just find it easyer making a brush for hair in photoshop. i cant figure out that part of corel painter yet lol

update time

[M@DM@X]

updates make me happy. means i have done something lol.

[M@DM@X]

ive toned down the color slightly, it was too bright; i think it looks better now

[DaAan]

oo pretty

[M@DM@X]

on advice from a friend, i decided to try something else with the pic, i would really like to know what you all think


Edit; second pic is another update

[BES]

Awsome job on those!, you really need Zbrush3, sculpt your drawings, you already have a digital pad.

[M@DM@X]

ive been thinking about trying it, would defonatly add a new dimention to art work

[Legacy]

Yes, Zbrush is cool for sculpting, but it`s probably the most wacky program i've ever used.
It`s giving me tons of headache just to detail some dino skin.

[M@DM@X]

and a nice dino it is tho Lc

been doing some tutorials on dragons again, doing them so i know how to do there bodies. the first one i did on my pc in corel painter the second one i did in my sketch pad and used a digicam to get it on my pc. keep in mind the designs arnt mine because i followed tutorials for them.

Hey you wouldnt believe this, but i actually know toni marie hudson. !!! Would you believe it ?
She is a good friend of mine, sorry i diddnt notice this earlier. If you go to her site and click on ''meet the artist'' you'll see a picture of her with her two dogs, that field she is sat on is across from my house !!!
Man, how coincidental.

[M@DM@X]

yeh, i kinda messed up when i copyed that work of hers. i forgot to add credit on cgtalk (but not on here go figure) and got berated by an admin on there. my own fault for been careless and forgetting to give credit where its due. ive spoke to toni marie hudson tho and explained to her it was just an honest mistake on my part and no harm was intended. she is a great artist and ive seen the pic of her on her website. do you know a horse called pippa??? toni marie gave me a link to wetcanvas.com and i found a pic on the photoreferance section from her for a horse called pippa. i think the pic is on here on page 1 not sure.
anyway here is the sketch i did from that photo.

[Excal_Luke]

No, But anyway, that horse looks really good - keep at it, and im sure you'll come up with somthing origional

[RhVaurek]

 I love that horse! Its getting better everytime and your dragons look good too, from tutorials its a good learning process you will be pumping your own original dragons out in no time hopefully

[M@DM@X]

here is a sketch of my friend lizzie, its not totally perfect to her photo but its close.
lizzie is the horse i ride on my riding lessons, i love her to bits. too me she is the best horse ever.
ive been riding her for a year now on my riding lessons.
i am including the photo so you can make your own judgements, and yes that is me on her while the photo was taken.

[M@DM@X]

dosn't anyone have anything to add to this? some crits would be really nice or just some general comments. its starting to feel like cgtalk in here lol

[Armondikov]

You've come a long way since starting, especially starting on something as difficult as a horse (I doubt I could do it that well considering how out of practice I am and how I generally don't like doing animals). Good to see you trying some different things though.
