Lol. xD I just realized I accidentally put him next to Roarke. Maybe that's the cause for the supreme grumpy. And Roarke incidentally looks kind of smug.

Oh Diikae, Diikaeeeeeeeee.
I forsee a lot more commissions coming your way in the future, because I am literally head over heels for what you have done with my characters…and their significant others
First of all, I have literally been staring at this for about a half hour, and I swear EVERY MINUTE I find new details on each and everyone of them, and it just makes me smilllllllle.
There is something so very precious about having your character portrayed so perfectly by another artist (especially if she happens to be someone you greatly admire hehe). Buying something like this is so much more rewarding than spending money on just about anything else.
SO I suppose I should start telling you just why I love them and all their oozing adorableness so very much.
Lets start with Kyra and Thorn. Holyyyyyyyy GOD. If they are not the sweetest thing I have ever seen in my life I don’t know what is. I love how Kyra looks a bit shy, yet totally happy to be nuzzled by that hunk of a horse….the expression is just so utterly her (how did you knoooow?) Also….you actually included every single detail of her design into such a compact little piece. I mean, honestly I know I forget parts of her design when I draw her…and I am just so impressed you nailed everything. The braids, the fluffy leg wrap, the two necklaces + the glow (by the way, how in the world did you know she has two now? I’m sure I neglected that on her reference…) the braids, the earings, her dark points on her muzzle and nose….HELL even the little white dots on the tail wrap. Even her hair has the thick tousled quality to it, that I always trrrrry to master but never quite do. She is just so utterly Kyra and SO UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL here. I think I am in love with the way you do mares faces and eyes/eyelashes…they look so feminine yet so adorable. Speaking of this, I cannot get over those big blue eyes looking up at Thorn. God. My heart is sooooooo stolen….by all of these haha.
OH AND THORN. Once again, not a detail missed…I love how you did his scars and roached mane, and adoring expression. He is such an outstanding character, and you just did and amazing job with him. I know Dakka will love love love him just as much as I do.
And now on to the other cutest couple in the world! LORDY everytime I look at them I can’t help but giggle. Your chibis pretty much embody every single roleplay we have ever had with them together. Secret still looks freaking hot as a little wee thing with those brown eyes and long lashes and Leo is all like “squeee shes about to touch me” but also kinda like “Fuck yeah, look at my girl”. It. Is. So. them.
……..I feel like you know my characters better than I do O.o
ANYWAYS. Once again, no detail was missed. As I look from couple to couple I just become more in awe of your ability to capture such tiny aspects of their design. I know I keep mentioning their manes, but I’m just so impressed that each mane is truly what the horses mane looks like. Secrets is so lush and shiny and long, and Leo’s is rather unruly.
Fffff I can’t get over these…I probs never will. I just adore adore adore their positions…you couldn’t have done a better job. His neck makes me droooooool.
AH I don’t want to clog your inbox but I must get my thoughts on Sobe and Kaleos in.
I am obsessed with this style. I am so glad I decided to get the two them done up as cave ponies, you made them suit the style so well. I have no idea how you learned to do it, but I feel as if I could walk into some ancient rocky cavern and see them painted on it…it makes me feel like they are actually alive. <3333333
Once again, need I mention the detail here!? EVEN in such a simple style you included all markings, leg barring, scars, tattoos, and even the pinking around Kaleos’s eyes and muzzle. OH AND SOBES WACKY HAIR. You did that too…..
I really don’t want to end this comment because I don’t want to stop looking at them.
Is there a way that I could perhaps get the unwater marked version of these? I would love to use a couple for IDs, and just print out tons of the others to sprinkle around my room hahaha. Of course I will credit you 10000000%
I will most likely come back and comment some more, but its been a long day and I should hit the hay. Thank you so so so so much. This is the best graduation gift everrrr. I could not have imagined anything better. I am so blown away by how you captured them so flawlessly and how freaking adorable your styles are.
I will be shoving a lot of money your way in the future, I’m sure.
THANK YOU.

Wow! This comment is so intense and long and glorious. xD It feels like it should be a deviation of its own accord, and I love it! Thank you for taking so much time to lay out your thoughts, it's really nice to know that you noticed all the little details that I put in and how hard I tried to make it look appropriate to your characters and their relationships.
As to how I got all those details, I do intensive research on every character that I am asked to draw. I look at every drawing that person has ever done of them, and then I search favorites for other people's art of them to get an idea of what's going on with their story, even more about their personality, and such. I figured that Kyra's new necklace was her wedding ring. :3 I think detail is important to making the character true to themselves and how the creator wanted them portrayed.
I also think that pose is important and both of those poses came to me when I read about their relationships. I KNEW that Leo had to be rearing and showing off, and that Kyra and Thorn had to be snuggled in. |3 I'm glad that you like them. I didn't do much for posing with the cave ponies...I don't with any of them generally since cave art was not really meant to portray more than what was essential to the story. I came to this idea because I have a fascination with prehistoric artwork (I actually have a tattoo sleeve planned of cave art) and one of my degrees that I'm working on is archaeology. :3 I did my term paper on prehistoric sculpture, but cave art is my favorite.
Of course I will send the unwatermarked ones! I meant to do that but I must have forgotten. >< I'm sorry!
Again, thank you for your wonderful comment and I'm honored to be admired by you. I'm also intensely pleased that you really like them and that they fit the characters. :3 I look forward to maybe doing more art for you in the future!

Hehe I wish I could have said more...or I wish i was better with words and could have more accurately expressed what I'm feeling, but alas, I am not!
I sorta feel like your reply should be a deviation of its own as well!
And of course, now I am even more impressed. The fact that you actually take that much time to get to know a character before drawing it is just amazing. The effort you put into getting to know them shows of course, because like I have said, I feel like you know them better than I do now. It just truly brings them to life. For example, I don't think any other artist would have actually spent the time to trudge through my gallery and come to the conclusion that Kyra is now wearing a wedding ring, so I should add that to her chibi! It really just makes me smile...it actually makes me so happy.
Hehehe and man, did you KILL those poses. I'm so excited for Brindi and Dakka to see these because I know they will be just as gob-stopped as I am. I like how you say you just knew that Leo would be rearing and showing off while Kyra and Thorn would be cuddling from those tinnnnnny descriptions I gave you. Those are literally the perfect poses...perhaps you are a character whisperer, no?
I really do appreciate all the time you spent on these, and with my gang
Ah and I adore cave art as well. I wish I knew more about it, but I love the rawness of it all. And the stories behind such simple pieces. I'm really in awe that you can replicate the style so well...I have tried and it always ends up lacking the personality that makes cave painting so interesting. May I ask what you tattoo is of, and where you plan to get it? That is such a beautiful idea...be sure to take pictures for DA when you do it!
OH as long as you stay open, I will be getting more art from you. This was just such a great experience
I think my characters enjoyed it quite a bit too

SO PRECIOUS! I'm seriously in love with the first two. They are all precious though! I'm so obsessed with your new pudgy chibis! SOOOO CUTE! I love the glow on that cutie, and their expressions. The poses of the other 2 chibi's are awesome too! And your little cave horsies are still so cool and unique!

Thank you so much! Really? I had such trouble with that first couple. xD I drew them first and I kept going back to change stuff since I didn't think they looked as good as the second. n-n I like the new pudgy ones too.
