Interesting. Edges of the horse aren't as crisp as those of the warriors so it doesn't seem to fit. I'm not a jockey, but it seems to me that the rider is sitting too far back on the horse. As for the concept overall, I confess that I don't get it.

cool idea!

Take a look at this gallery...

Nice work with the rope. Very natural.

sad idea, excellent execution

Thanks a lot guys.
I dont quite get the relation of my entry and this gallery, erikuri :/

Great job author...I am sure that Erica want to say,look at this torture tools...

Some areas seem a bit over stretched, but all in all it's a fantastic image! Very creative and wonderfully made. Great job in capturing the festive atmosphere.

Thanks for your comment, Ponti. I spent a lot of time researching Chinese parade dragons even before I started this project. . I really think this is pretty close to how most of them look. I can't use all the references in my SBS, there were so many, and also not on sites where I would free to show them in my SBS. All in all, this version is my own version of all those I found.

Simply fantastic!

Nice and unique work, love the colors too

Great work author.

The making of this character is great as usual and your style is easily recognizable. I just suggest one thing: you can do something different and better than that . Don't take it offensive, my friend, breaking the habit is the good way to improve, I think .

@Langstrum, thanks for that... will keep that in mind....

I couldn't help laughing when I saw the expression of its face... Funny! And beautiful colors!

Great expression! Love this, though it is a little flat in spots.

nice..

Awesome!

Very funny creature & ditto style. Minor improvement can be to cut off a part of the grass (personally I'd say the lower half), so there's even more focus on the bird itself (imo the green is a tiny bit too "heavy" for the image), but ok it's also up to you. Good luck!

Edit: yeap, good adjustment, imo

Thanks wazowski you right!! I made the changes and looks much better

Great use of source! It looks very ready... I hope just one tulip is enough! Good luck!
