Description You have seen me before. Can't you remember? I walked your dreams when we were just half-growns. I was there. Yes, now you remember. I'm a dreamer, like you.

Wow... this only took an hour. Can you imagine? I love the way it turned out. I sat down with Cy'ra's basic color pallette and a dark-blue canvas and allowed myself to paint whatever came to mind with no references. I love how it turned out.

I tried to make the signatures really subtle to preserve the mood of the picture. This is definitely my favorite picture of Cy'ra of all time. This captures how I imagine her perfectly.

Cy'ra and image belong to me

hahaha An hour? You must have had an 'art kick' moment. lol Thats what I call it when you're suddenly very fast and good and it turns out better than you thought. xD

absolutely lovely. i like the texture in her mane. it's like, if i were to reach into the picture, i could feel the thick and wavy-ness. if that all made sense...at all haha. and i really like how she looks as though she really is talking to each person who looks at this picture.

So mystical and picturesque. It feels like a dream.
And I love that you can't see her eye. Great cropping, too!

You've read the "Firebringer Trilogy"?!?! By the gods, I love those books! XD I was planning on re-reading them soon, too! Ohhh... Are you writting a fan fic of it? I'd love to read it, if you are. And, how much would the print be? I'd REALLY like to purchase it later, once I have the space, prhaps my OWN room, and the money. (I'm TRYING to save up for a camera, but with all this BEAUTIFUL art, how am I supposed to pull that off?! Lmao.)

oh my word...this is beautiful...she looks so...mysterious and enchanting, solid, like any equine, but also like if you blink too slow you'll open your eyes and all you'll find is hoofprints...


...in my opinion. i'm still thinking deep after reading your essay!

anyway, STUNNING! everything about it just fits so perfectly...it's fabulous!

I am so happy you did this. I have been waiting to see her for a very long time now. It makes me feel so good to know she is still alive and well in your heart, because even though Star was in the spotlight for a while, I've always pictured Cy'ra as your soul image....the image that defines you. This piece very much defines you. And I agree, this is my favorite picture of Cy'ra.

Thank you, Bera. You are very much correct. Cy'ra can never be replaced, only added to. She's been the one fursona that stays with me.

This is beautiful.

If I weren't broke (and in posession of a credit card), I'd buy the print. As it is, think I'll just add it to my wish list.

I cannot believe this only took you an hour. It looks so perfect. I wouldn't be able to do this in 12 hours even if I tried.
And yes, the mood seems totally perfect. It's so serene and peaceful yet mysterious and powerful all at once.
