AG entry for peophin day. *will grovel for crits/comments*
Well I thought I would try and make a nice pic especially for the purposes of hoping to get into the AG on peophin day, which isn't for a couple of weeks granted but i was reminded by the fact its already a choice under "special days" Don't even ask why i chose a spotted peophin, I have no idea o_0
I think i'm pretty much ok about the pic but its the background that i'm tearing my hair out over...i usually just leave pics be but hopefully i'll have a better chance if i put a pretty background in. I was thinking of coral and the like in the background, maybe with a couple of neopets shells? And water, obviously. I'm dreading putting the water in....
Any tips? *begs and grovels for crits/comments*
Do you think when its finished i'll have a chance of getting in I know they get some pretty amazing art for peophin day.....You can be honest.[/img]

I think it's awsome and Neo would be a fool not to let you in. And yay for doing Spotted, something different
There are a few places with stray color outside the lines you may want to clean up. About halfway down the tail and her left front ankle-or-whatever-it-is-on-a-horse.
As for a background....erm...coral sounds nice. I really don't know, sorry.

It's beautiful! But I agree, you do need a background - very few pictures get in without one. Make it simple and in soft colours so as not to show down the main focus - if you do use coral, just make it very simple and not too bright. It'd also be nice to use some hints of the colours you've already used in the background - soft touches of yellow and perhaps some red to highlight the front of his/her nose.

Well, he looks very fine too me. About the background pictures, I would agree that with a background, that ones seem preferred. (Though I actually never got in.) But I feel your pain, I tend to avoid backgrounds myself.. I know they are all pretty and such, but they are so difficult to do.
Set by WIS!

Thankyou very much for all the comments/ideas/crits I really appreciate it I've taken notice of all of them (only its a bit late for me to change the tail i think )
I drew out an idea with just some reeds, lil bit of pink coral and a couple of shells and it looks quite nice so i've started to colour it...I'm fairly happy with it now. I'll just have to wait and see what my scanner does to it when i'm finished

Sorry for the double post guys but my post was away down so i was unlikely to get any more of your fabulous assistance (selfish me )
This is the picture as i have submitted it to the AG (i'll resubmit nearer the time also) the quality is rather iffy due to the 80kb limit:
Its kinda plain, but i didn't want to detract from the peo drawing You can see i made a rather lame attempt at shafts of light with an eraser....ah well. It didn't look as good without them believe it or not
