Description Wow! I can't believe I haven't posted this on dA yet, lol.

Anyway, here is a painting that I have been promising someone I would make for them for a loooong time now, so I'm hoping that it was worth the wait, lol.

Now, I still want to somehow get a nice background to go with this one, but I can't seem to get anything that looks right, ANY SUGGESTIONS/HELP?

So, I really can't wait until the "Black Pearl" opens up on Howrse.com because I have a small handful of coats ready to go

Now, there is a little bit of a story behind this lovely doll

"Gift of the Black Orchid"

Now, for those of you that play Howrse, you already know what the "Black Orchid" is in that game, so you guys can skip the next paragraph, lol.

But, for those of you that don't, it is basically part of the collection of "special items" you can buy in the game that give nice things to your horses you raise in the game. Some items give skill bonuses, some make the horse immortal, one can turn a horse into a pegasus, but the Black Orchid will restore a horse's "energry, health, and morale" completely to 100%, so it could save a horse's life if it got deathly sick or over-worked.

----------------------

So, She is supposed to represent how she is made up of all kinds of colorful orchids, all of which are common.

But, that it takes a special task to deserve a Gift of a Black Orchid





Ok, so it's not much of a story, but it makes for a lovely character

Maybe for a backround, make him in a tropical rainforest clearing! If I ever see that on the voting thing for the Creation Space, I'm gonna vote 100%!! My horses are itching to get a good Golden apple coat!

That background idea sounds great! I barely get time to work on my art for months now, but I will try to get a background for this painting, .

By the way, this coat is actually already in Howrse as an available coat right now, . It actually has a horse version and a unicorn version, . I just wish that the old coats worked with the Helio's Ray because I'd love to see this coat with a background on Howrse, lol.

So, so, so, so glad you put this up. When I saw it on Howrse I was in awww by it. I think this is your best work.

*blush* Awwwww, thank you so much!! It has definitely taken a loooooong time to make it, lol. My first idea was to make those vines go all over Her, but I started with those first vines and started with the leaves on those and I quickly realized how crazy-long it was going to take me to put the vines and leaves over the whole thing, lol. And then, not to mention how cluttered that would've made it and then lost all of the nice work I put into the horse Herself, lol.

I agree. Too much going on if they were all over the place. It looks amazing just the way it is.
