Description I started this last night, it was mostly fired by the mix of emotions that hit me like a tsunami yesterday! From anger, fear and disappointment to happiness and excitment, yesterday was plain yukky, to put it nicely! But now, with the year closing and exams almost finished, we all seem to lose ourselves. I'm constantly battling with my friends, and I feel like after these exams, something big will happen, but not a good kind of big. The sun's being covered by the clouds of deep trouble and anger....

But anyway, I really enjoyed working on the little things on this one, especially the mane and tail! I also spent a lot of time working on the shading, trying to teach myself about real shading, but at the same time trying not to go overboard with my shiny-ness! I'm not entirely happy with this, I do feel like it's lacking something, but maybe I'm just being fussy!

Do you think you could do me a tutorial on the background? I'd pay with points.

Very detailed as are the rest of your pics I've looked at. Especially with the raindrops on the grass. Personally, I think thunderstorms are awsome

Trust me it's not missing a thing! This is such an amazing piece of art, I love the rear view of Trav (i think that sounds right...) And I love the background! I wish I could put more emotion into my digital art, but I must be always feeling neutral when I work on my drawings.... Well anyway, this is quiet stunning and AMAZING, and I Love it like crazy!

Equinus In reply to Flaming-Sunset [2008-11-20 17:47:14 +0000 UTC]

Aw thank you so very much hun! Hehe it just feels so strange in the middle, like I've missed a part of my drawing process.. I dunno, it just feels strange! But I'm glad you like it! I always find it best to draw when I'm in a mood, whether I'm excited or miserable... it just helps me form ideas in my head, and they seem to appear on the canvaa!

AkiCheval [2008-11-18 20:32:44 +0000 UTC]

I like pictures, where artists show their emotions. Nicely done, but I think it would look more interesting when you would make the picture darker. The rain is ... ehr... well... striped xD
But the horse is made well.

Equinus In reply to AkiCheval [2008-11-21 06:45:37 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yeh, I was going to make it darker, but then it gets very dark and sometimes its very hard for laptop-users to see...

Gorgeous picture though, and im getting that feeling too, something big bad and ominus (sp?) is coming... oh noes, im getting all dark and mysterious lol

Equinus In reply to JEAikman [2008-11-21 06:50:12 +0000 UTC]

aw thankies hun! Yeh, it is rather annoying when you can't figure out what's missing, and you try a million things, but nothing will fit... Drives me bananas!
