Nice looking backgrounding, I really like the style of it. Perhaps it is just me, but your horse seems to have an awfully small head on it with very little neck. I really like that tree texture, even though it seems more like a rock than a tree. The broken branch bothers me though. I think it is because it looks more like it was thrust into the ground than breaking off from the tree and falling into a position like that. And a minor detail is the path, it looks kind of like it goes into the tree. The rendering of the armour is very wow. Overall has a rather painterly feel to it which I like, instead of a digital. _________________ "Me? I'm a pop idol."

the image is fantastic and good colors also.
a tip for the forest, try giving the background more bleu tones, you did that already but you can do it more.

Imo everything looks great (colors, textures,light) except the horse. It's too small compared to the knight. I think this armour is too heavy to be carried by a pony . Besides this - wow. _________________ *** Hi! I'm a signature virus! Copy me into your signature to help me spread! *** |

here is the updated version:
dr . bang: wow thanks
Gothic Gerbil: thank you, horse head fixed, yeah when i look at that tree it looks more like rock, i will paint them different from now, tried to fix the branch. tried to fix the path too, hope its more clear now. thanks again
merlyns: thanks i tried to add a little blue to the back it looks more interesting but then it looks more like there is no more trees there in the back plus i like that magic fog feel so i will leave it like this
francmidi hehe tahanks, i tried to make the horse bigger. glad you like it.
Tomasis: thanks, hope the horse looks better now, i hope the only reason you like this pice more than my previous works IS NOT that this one got more detail. (sorry for my english ) _________________ portfolio | art blog |

Siema Ziomku-Rodaku!!!
Tera po angielsku - pic is nice but:
1. horse head looks now too long after stretching
2. there is no line of horizont & that's why pic looks too flat (to me)
3. knight's boots are Nike like? try to find some reference on the NET
Damn it - YOU're better than me ;( _________________ "Let my Armies be the rocks and the trees

awesome detail...but if yur knight stood beside that horse he would look like friar tut beside his donkey.
the horse is distractably too small.
