Daughter of the Stars

I really like the idea of this piece! The horse's head and the feathers floating around it give it a very intriguing quality that makes me wonder about the motives behind it. Why would there be feather's? What's the story? It's a good thing when the piece sparks questions in the eye of the beholder. I would suggest darkening the mane considerably, as well as adding more purples from the feathers into it. As I said before, using colours from the surroundings, even if blurred, help blend the stock together. It seems like it is night in the picture, and so the only light source should be the feathers and perhaps a bit of highlights on the mane from the moon. If I am correct, the horse should be more blue-toned and darkened up to make it look like it is night.

On the other hand, I really like the job you did on the eyes, they look fantastic! Also the glow on the face from the feathers is spot-on, and is exactly what could be done on the mane and neck as well. If the horse were darked and the colours of the feathers brighter, the effect of those magnificent feathers could be doubled!

In general, good work, amazing idea and originality!
