:// The Little Things That Kill C O M M I S S I O N / A R T | T R A D E
:// =BrindleTail 's Taboo, *CimarronSpirit 's Charms, *Paint-Kiwi 's Effy, ~Twilight-Mustang 's Eden and Kaleos, *Queerly 's Starlie, ~Flarism 's Ahlyssah and *Moonkelpie 's Atratus and Boadicea.
Edit:// Added Atratus and Boadicea. Whew. Can you see why I rage-quit a few times? I re-sketched and redrew them quite a few times. Very challenging characters but incorporating two things I love: Dreadlocks and rosettes. Lol
Yay, they're done! All of the horses on this sheet were gifts from ~Twilight-Mustang ! I hope everyone likes them |D There are two more chibis on their way that will be added to this, but I am having the hardest time with them, so I didn't want to wait on posting these while I make various rage-faces at these two characters. Hopefully they'll be added soon.

I'm so glad you like them! Whew, I was a bit afraid that you wouldn't. They were difficult, and varied per reference. -shrugs- Some characters are very versatile like that I suppose. But thank you very much. Sounds good!

Diikae. Diikae.
I can't even begin to express how unbelievably happy I am. Honestly I have looked at this deviation about 100 times today. And as creepy as this sounds I have also gone through every single picture in your gallery AND on your Tordah account because I am seriously in awe of your style and just needed to see more of it. Something about it is really wonderful to me. When I look at your pieces I feel like I've been dropped straight into the middle of some old folklore, where everything is beautiful, mysterious and full of history. It has such depth, depth that I could only ever dream of achieving. I just really, truly appreciate it.
Now that I have gotten that stalkerish comment out of my system, I'm going to attempt to put into words how incredibly happy I am with this.
As always, you flawlessly matched every pose and expression to their individual personalities. Even if they were just line art, missing all of the accessories/horns/etc, I feel like I could still tell who they were.
Taboo looks like such a bad ass...the momentum and movement of his wee chibi self is really incredible. I feel like he is moving with such force and determination! The way his tail, mane and accessories capture the action is really awesome. Also those red eyes. yum.
Charms' pose BLOWS ME AWAY. The angle is GORGEOUS...her jaw/cheek bones look so stunning. And her muted colors mixed with the way she is laying is really rather haunting. Actually I just really enjoy the anatomy of this piece is general. Not many people can pull of lying down horses, and barely ANYONE can do so at such a wicked angle. Its just so her, which is really really really cool to see.
Effy on the other hand looks absolutely adorable and innocent. She seems to calm and sweet...I just want to hug her!!!! Honestly she looks so beautiful with those big green bambi eyes and auburn locks. Like a delicate doe....oh goodness I really am head over heels for her. I really like the way you colored her as well...how the colors blend and fade so nicely.
AND I know I didn't commission the two at the bottom but THEY ARE SO CUTE. I'm really impressed with your mastery of so many different species. Love the long nails on the Badger(? Sorry, really bad at identifying things)...its really just a lovely little piece.
OKAY BUT EDEN AND KALEOS. Diikae I can't keep a smile off of my face when i see them. Like I get that clenchy feeling in my chest that I only get when I REALLY love something. When I first saw this I had to hold back a scream. Kaleos and Eden have NEVER looked so perfect. Its silly but i get choked up thinking about it. I don't know how to explain it but you made Kaleos have that old world feel about him, and I can't thank you enough for doing that. That face just has SUCH a story to it when you far whim. His wee Roman nose is actually the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life....actually I really am astounded by the fact you didn't leave out a SINGLE detail on Kal OR Eden. Even his blue pupils...I'm really impressed you picked up on that. On top of that his whole build is HUNKY. God I wish I could make him look half as good when I drew him. Seriously I have never been so happy with the wee guy.
As for Eden...dear god you made her as beautiful as I have ALWAYS wanted her to be. I love that her pose conveys the situation she is in...I don't know if you meant it to, but it does. She looks so delicate...the dish in her nose and dainty muzzle are so endearing...once again, you really captured everything I have ever wanted her to be. The way you blended her colors is something I would REALLY like to learn how to do, because thats what I want her coat to look like. UGH AND HER KISSY SPOTS. I also just noticed that you included the multiple shades of teal and pearl in her horn and I honestly don;t know how you picked up on that either. Your eye for detail makes me envious. ALSO I have no idea how you managed to do her necklace....its so tiny YET so realistic. OH AND HER MANE AND TAIL. UGH GIVE ME THAT HAIR.
There are honestly a million other things I want to say but I just can't put them into words. Diikae, if I could I would just spend ALL of my money on commissions by you. Seriously. This made my week.
Would it be alright if I used Eden and Kaleos in an ID? I would be sure to credit you, of course. ALSO, if it would't be to much work, could I get charms on as an individual piece? If not that is TOTALLY okay.
Anyways I will continue to look at this every 5 minutes and perhaps I will leave a few more comments.
Until then, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART

I wish I had anything intelligent to say to this awesome comment except that tears came to my eyes and I'm truly touched by all you wrote. I'm so very glad you liked all the things you bought, for both yourself and your friends, and noticed how much thought I put into each of them. I put an extra-special amount of thought into Eden because I really love her and I thought that pose was clever for what I read about her history. Kind of kneeling/bowing sort of thing. I tried to also include the color quality of her eyes, because I love them, but it was hard to do in chibi form.
Yes, you can use Eden and Kaleos in an an ID. And I'm not sure what you mean, as an individual piece? Do you want me to chop her out or something? -is dumb-

OH MY GOD. I totally forgot to mention Eden's eyes in the comment -is dumber- That was honestly the first thing I noticed...the way you captured the multiple colors in such a TINY space...GOD I can't believe I forgot to say that. Seriously My eyes when directly to her when I opened it. I really enjoy coloring her eyes but I didn't really expect anyone to do anything but pick one the colors when drawing her...ESPECIALLY when working on such a small canvas. But my jaw literally dropped (well I had to snap it up quickly to hold back screams of joy 
Seriously kicking myself for not mentioning that earlier!
AND OF COURSE you did all of that background research. Ah man. The amount of time you put into these little guys...blows my mind. Her pose is incredibly clever and poignant at the same time.
I'm seriously SO honored you like her design, and the offer still holds should you ever want to rp with her <3
And thank you SO much. Like I said before, i will credit you like crazy. AH and I'm dumb! No need to chop her out...you can do that EASILY on PS to make an icon or something out of, right? If so, don't worry about it...sometimes my brain forgets to function.
Once again, thank you. I have looked at this PROBABLY another 100 times since I last commented.
Kaleos feels so manly...I think he might want to stay a chibi forever
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
8D I'm glad you noticed then! I was fairly pleased with myself for at least giving it an effort.
Yes, you can do that easily on PS if you wanted to. Just select her and take all the others out and there she is, all on her lonesome. I figure you're going to want to reposition Eden and Kaleos anyway so they look better for an ID. x3

This looks absolutely amazing. You have such a tremendous amount of talent, I am so, so happy to see my main character in your style, albeit a total surprise to me. You portrayed her far better than I ever could have (and probably ever will). I'm struggling to find words to express my happiness at this because it was totally unexpected...but even though we don't really know each other, I think it'd be fair to warn you that I will probably view this every day and cherish it just as much as I do now. So if you're wondering where all of those views came from...it was me. c: I'm just totally astonished as to how you could pull of that perspective so beautifully...it's definitely nothing easy, but it looks like it came so naturally to you. If my chibis were this adorable, I think I would never stop drawing them. But I can't forget to compliment all of the other characters you have here. I simply adore Taboo's pose, he looks so playful and his accessories fit so well with it. Effy just looks so innocent and cute, and Twilight's characters are so bangin'. Like, seriously, why do her characters have to have such exceptionally sexy designs? Eden and Kaleos are heart-throbs. I don't really know Starlie or Ahlyssah, but if they look as marvelous as you have drawn them, then I definitely want to get to know them. <3 I cannot get over your talent, please don't ever stop drawing, it would be a shame for such beauty to go to waste!
I hope I didn't frighten you with this novel, but this picture just makes me unbelievably happy. c;

Thank you so much! This comment really was a wonderful way to start my day. C: Who you should really be thanking is ~Twilight-Mustang as she commissioned these as a surprise for you! I should have put that in the description. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mhm, I'm fully aware that she did and I love her to pieces for it. But you deserve some thanks as well for doing such an amazing job. (: I can see why you would have some troubles with Starlie and Ahlyssah, they look very detailed, but that's what makes a truly marvelous character. You are so very welcome. <3
