Thanks for the comment Gecimen. Could you specify perhaps what I could do to make it better?

Thanks for your comment tanuki. I agree on your observation of the helmet... I should fix that eventually :)

Thanks Alex!

this is nice job!

 Is it a man or a woman? Anyway, I loved the horse. Good job.

Really great, maybe the horse tail look missing, a waving tail could add a lot of movement.

The front raised leg is totally off... also you'd better break that wide dithered areas.

 I like that you didn't include a face. I don't think it's needed and would have looked smushed at that size. The overall pose seems very natural and life like. The shadows on the chest muscles of the horse seem overly dark to me. The two front facing side plates (I don't know what they're called) on the helmet look like they're not really level with each other.

 First!

This picture just blew me away its wonderfull!!! just love the shading and the anathomy of the horse is beutifull.
