Dunno if I want a mentor, but hey I just want real critiques, not sugarcoating.

DAPB Shrinks images down so they may look pixelated.. Just a heads up

Oh wow, it's very nice overall. The first thing that I noticed, though, is that the horse looks mighty small compared to its rider. Horses are large creatures. Other than that, the rider's arms look a wee bit short and I'm not liking the positioning of the scythe.

I'm no good with horse anatomy, so I'd just be commenting on Sammael/Lucifer.

The coloring of the skin and muscle definition is pretty awesome in both, well done. Sammael's tank top shading with the folds is very realistic.

Sammael: If you're going for the realism look, perhaps a bit more detail to the wings - with more attention to the flight feathers + shading. There is something wrong with the right thumb - it's turned at an awkward angle, though I'm not quite sure how to fix it.

Lucifer: Probably more shading to his chin would take away his current 'double chin' appearance. His hair at the top could be shaped so the top of the head doesn't seem as flat. The right upper eyelid could be shading alittle softer. The hair...is cartoonish I agree, and doesn't match the detailed rest of the body, but I'm not sure how to fix that, either.

Oooo, panty shot!

I like how the hair is in this one. Much more natural. smile The nose and lips should be in line with the chin. Perhaps the white highlights on the abdomen could be toned down a little - or at least made more diffuse - as the muscles of the abdomen in females are softer and less well defined.

Thank you, I will work on that in the next one I try
