This is my entry for *barracuda-78's contest [link] I've had it finished for a few weeks now, but I never really liked it. I've been working on something else, hoping that I would have new ideas for this when I was ready to come back to it. But, the deadline is creeping up and I really don't feel like working on this anymore so I'm uploading it as it is.

The horse is supposed to be a Scarlet Ibis, or something like that. It didn't turn out as bright and colourful as I hoped. I also don't love the tail. I don't mind the mane, but it's not my best. Although I like how I blended the wings onto the horse's body, I don't like the rest of the wings. The reflection didn't turn out so good, either. It's supposed to be a bird reflection, but it's hard to see.

And I'm very sorry about the watermark. Expect to see one on all my manips from now on. A big thank you to ~Kiwiaa, who discovered that someone has been stealing all of my manips for a sim game. I really don't want that to happen again. :P

Lol, it does look that way. You can see the hidden leg if you look closely, though. The horse is just standing really square.

It's very cute. ^^ I like how the horse's muzzle is extened--you didn't mention that, but it makes it look like a humming bird. xp At first I didn't get the reflection, but then after reading that it was supposed to be a bird, I looked again and saw it; that's pretty cool. ^^ Two things might help though, one would be a shadow, and the other would be to add a second wing kinda peeking out from beind the top of the front wing--it'll give the horse more demetion.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the nose. I was trying to make it look like the ibis beak, which I guess is similar to a hummingbird's beak. :nod:
Oh damn, I can't believe I forgot the shadow again! :stupidme: Of course that would help. And the wing, that makes sense, too. I spent so much time working on that wing that I totally forgot the second one. =P
Thanks so much for the comment and critique. :hug:
