Still looks like a statue and the upper and lower part of the body don't
match. :(
Feel free to diddle!

Thanks, Sarah!
Your message came in right after i posted the reply to the "guys".
That's the only reason you get a special treatment. No ulterior motives

What's a unicorn, other than a pegasus without wings... with a false
nose attached to its forehead?

So (...drumroll...) here's: a unicorn!

This reactions are quite natural. You should not bother this and can not
patch your work. The next step will appear after a few weeks/months when
you will start thinking: how to hell i do this. This are stages of the Way
of all artist, around the universe.

In my honest opinion the power of your work are perfectly chosen lines
directions (on both diagonal) which rhythm makes it alive. From the another
hand the composition of the picture is very well balanced.

Hello, miK the Wanderer.

No need to--- it's a wonderful pic and the
upper and bottom parts match just fine.

Just kidding. I didn't mean those to stay there.

Well, yes, it really looks a bit slim-breasted but who said that
a pegasus looks like a modern horse in the first place. Is this
art or what is it? Say it fits and of course it fits. 

Well - it fits!
