      Desaturated colors of other knights, added castle and trees in background to finish the story of the picture. added space for the knight in the frame. Added shadow with a multiply layer and oversaturated ornate knight. These are the critique notes, I am not sure of how bright I made the knight and I tried to keep the detail down in the castle yet show it is a castle. I truly appreciated the critique and i am learning so much through svslearn! You guys are awesome!

              @Leontine The knights faces are hid so the horses had to carry it... It was fun making the horses in the background laugh, the horse in the foreground has a real "derp" face with his teeth hanging out but stepping up proudly to carry his knight! I don't know, maybe there is a story here...

                      I am sure there is a story in this piece! Once you start brain-storming about it, it can happen. Tip: a notepad next to your bed. At night, they come, (all best ideas), and its gone by morning, so write it down as soon as it shows up. Good luck, cant wait to see more!
