Description Day 4 of training was unproductive with Delilah being bed ridden for the next couple days. On the doctor's order's she wasn't to leave the house for at least 48 hours, so Fortune was turned loose into the pasture, and left to fend for himself while Delilah recovered from her many injuries.

Of course, Fortune seemed to be perfectly fine out in the pasture until that night when fireworks began to go off in great numbers all around him. He reared and squealed most of the night, warning the flashes of light that if they came near him they would surely die. He challenged each and every one that night, working up a thick layer of lather and sweat that covered most of his body.

Delilah got little to no sleep between the pain of her injuries, and the stallion's loud battlecrys. It only deepened her newly kindled hate for the stallion.

Well not much else to say on this particular piece. I am quite pleased with how it came out, but I know I still have not followed all of my new rules I received in a critique. Don't worry, I am not ignoring you I promise, it is just a lot to take in all at one time. Please give me a chance to adjust.

Anyways, tell me what you guys think. Thanks, D

Dude, whoa! I wasn't trying to give you rules. Just trying to be helpful with suggestions, but this is fun drawing time not school. It's okay I'm just an OTT full-speed-ahead-or-nothing-at-all type person, you know? Just cos I gave a wall o' text crit doesn't mean it's the word of god or has to be followed or anything

That being said, this looks great, the grass looks great, the atmosphere is great, but you totally traced the horse didn't you...

no it is ok. and I didn't trace the horse. I do have a reference that if forgot to post, but I just got my basic circles off of it so I had the correct anatomy, and i was in too big of a rush to get this posted that i didn't want to take the time to measure everything out for correctness. And if you spend that much time trying to help out, I am going to listen to it. It isn't bad pressure when you are trying to help me improve.

This looks wonderful! I really love his pose and The anatomy looks great!As far as critiques go, I would add glows around the sparks from the fireworks and blend in the mane and tail more. Rather than seeing the individual hairs, hair tends to clump. For the mountiains/hills in the backgrounds, a little bit of shading and/or texturing (depending on if trees or grass is on the hill) would help it fit in more.

thank you for the critique, those were much more managable bites then the last, I will probably be able to fix all that in my next picture. Thank you so much. XD and I got lazy with the hills in the background, and just blurred in bumps. beats me what is on them.
