Description
This is my entry for Nordanner 's June Monthly Theme . The month's theme is "Splash!" and the idea is to show how my Nordy feels about water.
Baltar is not a splashing kind of guy so I drew him enjoying darkening summer night at his favorite spot by a lake bank. He lets water wash his hooves and watches fog rising from the lake surface rather than jumps in a pool himself.

Credit where its due, this looks exactly like the sort of thing you would expect to see on a wall hanging, superb work.

I am really glad you like; I found myself enjoying this style so much that most likely there will be more of this kind of pictures!

Oh, wow, I feel like this is the first time I've seen you tackle something in sort of an ancient scroll style? The drawing is adorable and I love how you handled the background!

This style is so cool! I don't quite know what it reminds me of, but it reminds me of something. Like cut-out or collage, maybe? Anyway, I love the look and feel of it. I like the braid he has in his mane.

I am glad you like!
I also quite like the result and maybe experiment this style more later. I think you're right with cut-out look, maybe I could go for the effect on purpose, now it happened by accident.

It was a happy and fortunate accident, then! I would totally not mind seeing more art in this style.

Beautiful scene, and the style you used for the background fits well with the realistic style of your character

Ehrmehgawrsh - this is so stinkin' cute! I love the stylized look, the entire layout (with gorgeous pagoda in the background), use of colors and textures, and how Baltar has very ethnically-appropriate decorated/styled hair. Gorgeous dahling - just gorgeous.

Thank you very much! 
I have postponed drawing this little fellow for too long; I have tons of plans and ideas for him but haven't got a chance to put those on paper.
So I am happy that I finally managed to show his hair style and living environment and it is great to hear that you like the result!
