Comment on Closed For Winter ting-a-ting by DeerHooves
I love the way you did the eyes! They look very shiny and well as the hilights on the hair.
Thank you! Glad you like the lighting effects C: 
No prob! I'm always in for the shiny bright colors.;3
Shiny colours are always really good for ponies, yah? C:
I think shiny colors and lightning effects are great because it gives a feeling of innocence to the picture, as darker shades of colors give the opposite effect.
For the most part, that's quite true. Brighter values usually evoke happier emotions whereas darker shades tend to be more serious. C:
I agree. That's always a good thing to know when trying to create the mood of the picture.
