Description ARTIST'S COMMENTS

A little gift for as a thanks for her recent feature, which helped me enormously! A thousand thanks again

So, if you haven't worked it out already, this is *Aomori 's Friesan/demon stallion Hurricane and Solven mare Iskra taking a stroll in the late Summer evening. As Iskra apparently likes open spaces and sunsets, hopefully she shouldn't mind this place For some reason, the poses I picked for them turned out almost like on their reference sheets, although I had no intention of that! I only realised halfway through the painting, so I decided to let it stay that way. Hope it doesn't matter too much.. I know, Iskra isn't as heavily shaded/highlighted as Hurricane, but that is mainly because the setting sun hits Hurricane, but Iskra is facing the wrong way seen from us, so she won't get too many visible highlights.

I really liked painting this, so I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did, and especially Aomori I would have drawn the twins too, but decided not too as they don't have proper reference sheets yet - knowing me I'd probably mess their markings up!

Oh. My. Goodness! Hun, this is incredible! It looks so beautiful, and you really made Iskra and Hurricane look so amazing here! I am at loss for words.

Over 1000 views! And so many favorites, too! Congrats, hun. You deserve it.

This is probably considered a stupid question, but is a painting or did you do it digitally? Haha, yeah, it does sound like a stupid question.

You made them look so beautiful. Great job on the muscles and the manes and tails. Amazing job!

Aww thank you so much And yeah, people completely blew me away with their support and love, I really was taken by surprise! And it's a digital painting I have done a few normal acrylic (?) paintings, since I've been doing art and design for 3 years now, but they've never come out too well. I much prefer digital - I make waaaay too many mistakes to be able to draw well traditionally!

sunsetluvr247 In reply to cerona [2009-09-17 21:50:54 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well it does look fantastic! I still say we must do a trade sometime. I can't wait to see them open!

You're welcome! I bet you were taken by surprise! As soon as people saw your art, they were also taken by surprise. It is breathtaking and jawdropping how realidtic your artwork looks, no matter what it is!

I am fairly new to art, I started drawing horses almost 2 years ago(I think ). I always do simple sketches to try and improve my style as much as I can before I go into a bigger project, like an actual picture I will eventually put up on Deviantart.

I would love to see some traditional art from you- I bet it isn't that bad!
