Description Summer Breeze
...........
................
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom. July is dressed up and playing her tune.
And I come home ........you're waiting there, not a care in the world.
See the smile a-waitin' ..........
See the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the
jasmine in my mind.

For those in the know; Shahly and Vinton, again, from the characters of Shahly's Quest

Colored pencil
With white border 16x22.5 Colored section approximately 11x17

Oh, and yes,
these are not horses so they don't have horse proportions and they are particular unicorns, drawn to match author descriptions as much as possible.

This is the second of your works that I have seen. The expressiveness of the pair is amazing. I also am impressed with your use of shading with the pencils. All over an incredible job.

Brawrloxoss [2009-06-10 01:36:32 +0000 UTC]

Okay, I want to know how you keep doing this. A few days ago I finished a revision of Shahly's Quest which included a partial rewrite of Chapter 1. Today I turn on my computer and here is an image from that rewrite, right down to their expressions! There is no way you could have known about the changes, and yet you've drawn one of them. This is getting scary!

About the piece itself, I can only say that these unicorns are in your head to stay, it seems, and your gift shares them in stunning detail with the world. Once again, you astound me!

LOL, you're right, this is getting scary. Glad you liked it. You are good at describing their personalities and relationship, so that's a big help.

KreepingSpawn [2009-06-09 22:20:48 +0000 UTC]

gorgeous. i quite like the off-horse proportions. rather refreshing.


maybe it's my monitor, but i have trouble telling... is she meant to be a creamy, or a cold white?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ArtbySandiJohnson In reply to KreepingSpawn [2009-06-10 01:06:22 +0000 UTC]

thanks, glad you liked it...she's white, and this is my addition, not the author's, slightly irridescent quality to her hair so she reflects a lot of color from the light

KreepingSpawn In reply to ArtbySandiJohnson [2009-06-10 21:36:23 +0000 UTC]

ahh... neat. the depth of blending in her color here, while still retaining the white is quite masterful.

Thanks so much. I'm delighted you like it. By other one, do you mean Two Hearts? I don't currently have it up for print. I would be glad to sign your print. I would have to check with the current owner of Two Hearts about how she would feel about having prints made of it. Actully, I've got to upload a large file of this one so I can offer prints of it, which I intend to do.
