Definitely fits the theme! Not sure how much control over the scene you had, but here's my 2 cents:
- Lighting could have been a bit better (needs more fill lighting or something)
- The colored horse could be a little bit more into the frame instead of at the edge of the frame.
interesting ...hand painted? this is a cool idea, but i don't like the composition as it is. the horse at the bottom right the way it's rotated seems to break the nice flow you had going of the shapes of the others.
