Description Ok, I really must apologise for such an awful drawing. I honestly want to hit myself, because this has taken me days, and usually something like this doesn't take me a week to complete! Poor Pavia and Tulio, I feel awful for making them look soooo bad! But I couldn't make them look any better if I tried! *sigh* I think I'm going backwards, not forwards in my art! So, my apologies to everyone, I didn't intend on this looking so ruddy awful!

Anyway, this is my new Pavia, who's spending some special time with Tulio, who happens to be the father of their foal, which is all part of =Z1ven 's new game! I'm going to have so much fun designing their foal! I tried to capture the two having a quiet moment together, having spent a sunny afternoon running through the fields of pink flowers!

Sweets, it's not awful at all, it's adorable! The mare's snuggling pose is so cute I could die and he looks just like a stallion should, all awkward and embarassed with a flower in his mouth
Love their designs, and the soft wind playing with their manes and tails - just a peaceful, lovely piece.

I don't think it's awful or anything. :3 You characters look like they belong together and otherwise fit into their background. Something that may help is the show the shadow of Tulio casting on Pavia, since they are so close and it seems your light is coming from the upper left. Tulio's eyes are forward facing and level like a pretador's. I know Spirit/Dreamwork style horses have larger, slightly forward facing eyes, but they are still set on at a slight angle to make them more horse-like. It could also help to have stronger shadows on the ground, and Tulio's shadow also reflecting on Pavia's legs like in the reference.

Like I said, I think it's nice and if you feel you are going backwards, it's honestly just the low before you make an artsy breakthrough. :3

harlequin-wondercat [2008-12-30 13:43:01 +0000 UTC]

I really love this !!! It has such a feeling of quiet serenity about it, and these two look really good together, they just kinda fit . I love the watchful, caring look in Tulio's eye . The background is just lovely, detailed yet under-stated so as not to detract attention from Pavia and Tulio

Quill-Feathers [2008-12-30 01:44:59 +0000 UTC]

OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! ITS SO GREAT!!!!! I feel so loved! Tulio is all bashful and akward like he doesn't know what to say! I can't wait to see the foal!!! Can I ask a favor? Can they breed one more time so I can get a foal as well. I'll design that foal if thats okay, I wanted to make a pretty little black filly out of Tulio and I think Pavia would be perfect mare to foal from. Its just an idea *crosses fingers*

Such a great scene too...very cute. They look like they had a good time running in the pink flowers.

Nice work!

Honey no!! You couldn't possibly make a drawing look "bad"! Heck, if you think THIS is bad you should check out my cruddy art haha! I luvs it! But i guess for someone of your talent, in your eyes it may not seem very good, but we all think it's great
