Got a new Ranger in Town

This piece is really peaceful and gives off a natural and relaxed feeling... <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=" (Big Grin)"/>

I love the rich colors of the horse and the way you expressed them, and the horse stands out from the background like that; because of the tones (warm vs cold) it's something I'm not sure you meant but directs people's eyes to the subject <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/e/e…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="288" title="Eyes"/>

The pose is great, and the way drawn shows the muscles of the horse as it carries across the ground, and the legs that are bearing the weight; so good job!! ^^ For the tail I love the way the colors 'bubbled' into each other, it's a great way to blend and very creative!

The shading is really really fantastic, and reveals and emphasizes on the muscles of the horse. Also the muscles shown are perfectly matching to the gait and the pose <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="577" title="La la la la"/>
Also very nice expressing bright parts and dark parts, like on the haunches!

The rider is very nicely shaded and great detail with the smallest amount of strokes! Parts of the saddle are clear and proper.

The trees in the background are so crazy epicccc <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="25" height="25" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="410" title="Boogie!"/> Very creative of the way to paint them, and creating nice depth with the colors as well! The sky is a nice gradient, and that's something that looks very nice and pretty; it shows the same impression as shading does <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="334" title="Nod"/>
Also great job on the shadow and darkening where the hooves meet. Maybe under the horse's legs to make it a bit darker? Like the part right under the body, on the farther ones, so it matches with the shadow and the overall power of light implied ^^

This is very cute and it's great to see your style developing and growing, your art is becoming really really unique! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="23" height="23" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="97" title="w00t!"/>
