Which pose is better?

Thinking of making a design sale or maybe a pagedoll/large art. Which pose looks better, or should I sell both options?

And don't take into consideration the sketchiness of the lines or mane/tail, I'm not done yet. Just judge based on legs anatomy and their placement. And if you think the anatomy looks off, please give constructive criticism

#1


#2

I like both of them, but I prefer the first one.

I prefer the second one, but I don't know why.

#2 ; the gait seems more natural.

I prefer the second pose by a mile. As Notori mentioned, it looks more natural - and it's adorable! :DD

I guess the pose on the second is more realistic, but I prefer the refinement of the legs and flank in the first. Perhaps if the second could be tweaked to be similar that would be the best version.

I think the second one is better do to it being more anatomically correct. The flank on the other side will only show if the leg is closer to the front of the horse.

Thank you everyone for the feedback! Others can also post their opinion because I'm still undecided which version is best. Seems like the second one is winning though

@River - I'm not done with the lines just yet, I'm actually thinking about coloring it realisiticqlly so the lines don't even show. But if I change my mind and I do let the lines show I'll refine the lines more.

@Notori, Silverwolves and Adie- actually the first one is based off a real photo I took at a horse show. I'll post it tomorrow. But sometimes horses poses just look odd in real life I guess.

It's kinda funny because the second one I just completely made up to try and see which looks less awkward and more flowy.

I like them both, but the second one is a tiny bit cuter.

I personally prefer the first one, the second one just seems, well, like a model horse, just posed like it's running, not really in the middle of running.

Here's the pic of mine that I used as a ref for the first pose:

I like the first one a lot more.

I think the second looks better even if you caught the horse in the orig picture mid stride :P

I agree - the second one looks like much more of natural gait. I don't know if it's me, but the first one (because the legs as closer together) looks like it's walking. The second on looks like it's canter more because of the back right leg. Good job!

I kind of like the second one. It would be better to use for a design sale since more of the farthest leg is shown, considering you'd want to show off the design :3
