Description

Betcha thought I'd forgotten about your trade, huh, *karliashi? *G*

Okay, so the original deal was that I was drawing one character in exchange for your awesome photo manip of Scylla. BUT. Prae seemed awfully lonely up on that hill by himself, and I figured that maybe Van came and kept him company for a while. And the two dudes were just cruisin' and happened across a Longdance, and well. Couldn't help spending a few hours checkin' out the pretty ladies.

If you're not Karlee, go check out her half of the trade! Scylla's on an herbal expedition and found herself some pretty purple flowers.

Sky painted from scratch with a ref pic. The boys were painted reference-free. :D Which might explain poor Prae's stubby legs. I desperately wanted him to have one of those sharply planed, aerodynamic heads like you see on big awesome thoroughbreds sometimes, but for some reason, whenever I draw a horse without a ref they have big foreheads.

This is really stunning. I love the big sky and that big fluffy cloud. The colors really give off that peaceful early morning feel. Seems like a nice quiet moment for these two in the early morning wind. And I love those fly-away manes.

I love seeing the Vale style too. I loved those books when I read them several years ago and used to draw in that style for a while. I especially liked the tufted ears :aww:

Anyway, this is beautiful with fabulous colors and great atmosphere :)
