Description
I know its alittle soon to put another pic like this up, but i did the Blue Jay one almost a week ago, and this one last weekend, i just didnt have the time to put them up till now.I really like crossing the characteristics of horses with birds, im having a fun time doing so
although thats not the ONLY thing im doing 
I know alot of people dont like magpies cause they can be noisey and messy. But i guess to me all birds can be like that so oh well. I also chose a magpie because there such pretty birds, they have beautiful markings, and their black wings have a blueish greenish tint in the sunlight.This one i worked on all weekend.
Done entirely of prismacolor colored pencils on blue scrapbooking paper.

You should try crossing a horse with a cardinal, just an idea. I really like your idea of crossing horses and birds.

I love it!
The Magpie colouring on a horse really works!
Those wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *loves*
Someday I'd love for you to draw my favorite horse design. Perhaps when i have money for a commission

Hey if you would like i could do a trade with you, maybe like a smaller fur or somthing for a full color pic of the horse design you were talking about. If we were doing somthing like that, I would be sending you the original and stuff. Maybe someday if you want to do that it would be cool

True!
If you havn't already merged money with Zach (not sure if you were after a turkey pelt) I can do a trade of a 8x11" or 9x12" coloured pic of my horse/pegasus-ish design.
I also have a flat badger pelt (no feet or claws) he's a Drape pelt *currently in the back window of my car under my coyote rug*
I can see what other pelts I can dig up.
I'll note/e-mail you with a full description of my horse as soon as I can.
Thankies!!!!!

OOOO a badger pelt intrigues me much more (i learned were going turkey hunting so i have a chance of a pelt from that) So as soon as you have a bunch of details for me,go ahead and note them to me

Just came back from home and found my older sketches of horses from waaaaaaaay back in 4-6th grade. Apparently there were two versions of my black horse/pegasus/thing. You can choose to illustrate either one, but I like the first version better!
Phase 1: "Fell Horse/Pony" breed. Jet black with a flowing obsidian mane. The Fell breed has black "feathers" along it's hooves, like a Clydesdale. Semi-muscular power horse, smooth-flowing ebony tail. It has black feathered hawk-like wings, with the tips of the primary feathers being tinged in crimson(if you'd like to go with bat-wings, that'd be cool as well. Several of my dark pegasus pics have jointy bat wings - as if they have arthritis on their knuckles. LOL). In my pic the eyes are a vacant white, but you can improvise on that - heck, you could cover his eyes with mane if you like. The only colour that strikes against it's dark form is a small streak of white hair in the upper-middle of it's mane seemingly looking like a shaft of lightning.
Phase 2: Grey-Black Icelandic horse (very fuzzy) Being darkest on the top, fading to a grey near the belly. Grey scraggly mane draped over his eyes, and tail of the same colour. Having very long, pointed wings of a grey heron.
Draw either one of them as you like, I'm not too picky, as long as it's as kewl as your previous drawings. My first "Fell Pegasus" would look cool in a raging gallop, whereas the Icelandic Softie would be calm, possibly overlooking a horizon or something. (try for the Fell Pegasus first) For this commission, the badger pelt is yours.
Let me know what'cha think, or if you have any questions.

This is a great piece. Might I suggest the Red Winged Black Bird?? Sometimes when you look at the black it shines blue also. But there is white and red on the wings only. Or the robin would be lovely. Or might you try a woodpecker or goldfinch?
Sorry about the list of birds. I get alot around my area. Even Hummingbirds.

Well, glad I could help you some. If I knew any other birds I would mention them but most are ducks.

Too soon? I say not soon enough. I don't think magpies are noisey but then I own around 65 birds so I wouldn't think that. I love magpies because they are smart members of the crow family that can learn to talk. Great job on this.
