I need to frequent DA more or I'll miss gems like this one! If you don't know this already, I gotta point out your constant improvement with each piece. It's been said that to become great at digital painting, you gotta study the master oil painters. I see a bit of that flavour working it's way in! I'm all for this experimental style! Fabulous colour palette as well, especially in your use of colour right there in the shadows and your overall contrast of warm and cool hues. Like gosh, look at these tones! Good to see some variation in the strokes as well! Excellent brush work (:It would be interesting if you worked in some more hard edges to add some points contention in this mostly soft painting. (It's definitely not soft compared to your usual works though!) Also keep watch of the contrast you have between the character and the background. You can have lost edges where shadows meet the background, such as her chest, but it gets lost up where her mane is. Just gotta simplify it a bit there, keep the values in check and you're golden!Good to see you're branching out into other styles! It's certainly more painterly than anything else I've seen from you to date. Very good points brought up in the other critiques you've received so far, but hopefully this critique helps you a bit with the painting side of things!
