Description

A christmas gift :D 

The problem is that when painting someone's pet, you want them to have funny markings. I find it rather hard to make a bay thoroughbred look overly like a unique and special snowflake :/ Maybe one day I will. 
Either way, I present to you, Surf Circuit, an overly long thoroughbred :D He's a great eventer, who realyl looks after his rider, although he knocks jumps for no reason, and whenever you lead him out his stable he acts like the worlds greatest cripple (although if he's going to the paddock or something, he undergoes miraculous healing).  His alternate nickname is Smurf, hence the blue bits that i tried adding to it. 

Done in acrylic ink, and then coloured over in pencils because I messed up and made him too dark.  Crits are welcome!

ok im going to attempt to critique this. i like the over all concept of the peice. and i believe the coloration cam out really well. i do like that you did a mixed media and i would of never though to do acrylic with pencil. it give it a very pealing look. the one thing i see that could be improved is the shape of the head. the top of the head is a little flat. the forehead should have a bit of a curve. but the rest of the anatomy is spot on. i hope that i was fair in this. and that maybe you can do the same for me and give me some critique's as well.
