Description The contrasted pair of bays stood close to each other in the paddock - one's light coat looked as if it were the sun itself, while the other was only a dark silhouette outlined by striking orange. A lovely pair, Quartermaster and Evergreen.

I love this pair and Quartermaster and the foalie that will arrive from this pairing! Can't wait!

For some reason this took me a lot longer than usual, not because it was hard but because I was slowww and Quartermaster's coat was bugging me. o.e


aaaand I was cleverclever and could not resist conveniently placing a llama head right under Evergreen's jaw.

Wow. I totally forgot to follow up my previous comment on Tune o.o I will now.

I must say that you have captured the lighting perfectly. I love how they are almost fading into the sunset on Ever's nose and Quart's neck, it's beautiful. They look like they're sharing a really tender moment and it's stunning to see.

And I must mention that ohso epic llama down there

Thank you so much! I actually didn't use the ref for shading because I got too into it on my own on accident, haha. I'm so glad you like it though!

I could not resist!

This is really beautiful picture of them, I love how you have the lighting from the back glowing on thair coats. It looks very realistic. Good luck with the foal!
And yay for sneaky llama heads!

Haha, thank you so much! I tried to get the lighting right, but it sort of looks like it's coming from below. But ohwell, glad you like it!

Haha, I was placing the background picture and then I was like, "Perfect! ... llama head! Haha. Ohwell."
