Do NOT steal!

A small but intensive manip I squeezed in between some art requests. Only used fifteen-some layers, but so far, I'm pretty satisfied with it. ^-^
Also, this is the first picture in my Pegasus manipulation series, The Final Flight Trilogy [link].

It has been featured here: [link]

Criticism is appreciated. Rudeness is not.

Wow. I love this piece! Okay my favorite part would be the stars on the body and tail. Cutting is overall quite smooth and nice. And I don't know if you did muscle definition but if you did it's fabulous! I love how the horse fits the color scheme so well

Improvement:
-The moon shouldn't be so yellow. I would suggest making it a pale blue to fit the wonderful color scheme you've made
-Also lighting is off, the top of neck should no be so dark but rather illuminated by the moon.
-The wings shouldn't be so high in my opinion
-Maybe-using the same technique used for muscle definition-enhance the wings and the individula feathers using highlights and lowlights
-the tail should be thicker and blowing with the direction of the waves since it's a storm.
-Where's the mane?!
-The shadow is little odd loocking. you should slant it to the right since the moonlight is from the top left.
-redraw the feathers around the legs, or smudge it outward so it doesn't look so flat

OVerall: a very nice job

Hope this was helpful!
