I know I was supposetd to finish and submit the "Oriental Dreamgirl" (real name not decided yet), but I did this instead. The WIP is going ok, no big troubles, just tedious detailing on the horse. So expect it soon!

This on the other hand had a rocky start. I've been meaning to do this for... two years? Well, maybe not quite that long (I started painting digitally almost exactly a year ago) , but long enough. I finally got the info needed for completing this piece and thought it best to do it right now. And no, I don't even start stuff if I don't have all the necessary details.

It's a buckskin quarter horse stallion. I like his butt, but the other end sucks. I didn't have a proper ref, so about 75% is guesswork. Didn't even bother gridding/doing proper linework and whilst I was painting the legs (I do them from top to bottom) I think I resized them about 20 times for magically the knees got closer and closer to the supposed ground level.
But yes. I get to take as much "artistic liberties" I wanted as long as the horse was recognizable. So if any or evertyhing is quirky, I pin it down to artistic liberty, not at all on "can't do it better".

If the head isn't good enough tomorrow, I'll consider repainting it. I'm too tired now (woot, you can tell from this description? ), and quite frankly, sick of looking at this piece.

Ok, I forgot if I had anything relevant left to say. So I guess not. And I bet you'll ask if you're the least bit interested.

And! Behold, it's not an arab or a finnhorse!
