Description
Another random horse done for the fun of it. I'm on a horse painting spree at the moment.
I orignially started with no specific horse breed in mind, but I think it looks like an Andalusian, or some other baroque breed.This one is the most realistic horse I did so far, I think. I even tried to add a fur texture, and experimented with putting the main light source behind the horse for a change.
I'm not entirely satisfied with the mane, it looks too random, but fixing that would probably involve a complete repaint, and I'm not in the mood for this right now.
I worked on this whenever I had half an hour or so of time, so I can't really say how long it took me.
Has to be somewhere around 8 hours.

hi, do you do work for commission? i'm trying to find someone to make a digital piece out of a quick sketch my mother-in-law did. it's a logo she wants for her business cards.

Well, I haven't done a commission before, but I'm generally open for it, if I like the subject.
Maybe you could send me a note, showing me the piece you want to have made and telling me what you imagine I should do, then I can decide?

Hey this amazing and there is nothing wrong with his mane, it is not random. Andalusians just happen to have a crazy pretty mane.

Yeah, you're right about Andalusians having crazy manes.
Thank you for commenting, I'm glad you like it.

This is one of the best digital paintings of a horse that I have ever seen. You can even see the little hairs on his face! The light source really works well-I like the reflections on his/her neck ^^
