Description Was planning to paint Pegasus for quite some time now. I used bits of references here and there to come up with the composition. Hope you guys like it! comments very much appreciated.

WIP: [link]

[Edit] I had gone lazy with the horse's head and left it pretty unrefined, but I decided to go back and fix it slightly. hope it looks better!

[Edit] as you can see I've been very dissatisfied with this painting, it just doesn't feel complete to me and I can't stop working on it. I added more clouds to the sky. Let me know your thoughts!

There is something not quite right about his head and how it joins onto the neck.... and his face looks flat.
I love the background and the pegasus. Especially its head as it looks so silky <3

I agree with Frau-Schwarz, I think the wings should be much larger.
But I love the sky, and I love how the wings hide whatever Belerophon is wearing (or not wearing )
Beautiful work!!

Frau-Schwarz [2011-07-26 05:08:53 +0000 UTC]

I really like the overall composition of the painting. The golden sunlight, the bronze shade of Belerophon's skin and the beaming white of Pagasus are giving the picture a really heroic atmosphere. It's much better what I could do and you know how much I lve your work, yet in my opinion Pagasus wings should be larger. It seems to me that the wings are so short, that Pegasus couldn't even fly. Also he would get a mightier look if the wings were larger. Also they could need a bit more structure. The legs of Pegasus blend into the clouds. But maybe you could add some more detail to the body. Like defining chest muscles and maybe the onset of the legs. The head and how he seems to prevent the exposition to the wind is very nice. But you could add some detail to the eyes still. Last thing. I'm not quite sure whate the expression in Belerophons face is. It's earnest, but not to stern and hard. When I take a closer look to his eyes, I have the feeling his expression is stern and severe. But his lips seem to - I don't know - oppose this expression a little and soften it. They are not as stern as the eyes. I'd prefer the severe and earnest face, but that's just my personal feeling. In the end: very well done

Then I'm glad. I hope you don't mistake my words as mocking. In fact they are quite the opposite

Lovely! I like the composition and how you've rendered Bellerophon. IMHO, this piece would be even better if you refined it further, at least the horse's head and chest.
