Description This is gift art for who asked me to draw my interpretation of her equine based creature/species called Destria from her fan fic. I hope you like this! I finally got a chance to scan it...

I enjoyed planning and painting this creature. Before I started to make this final version, I drew a few quick sketches of horses, using some photos of Minna Tallberg as refs for the anatomy and poses.
Btw. those weird-shaped brown things are supposed to be some kind of boulders (my brother thought they were ants' nests, hehe...) I painted them because I thought the background would have been too empty looking otherwise.

I painted this with water colours on A4 sized paper.

Destria (c) *fetherhd
Interpretation and painting (c) me.

I'd like to hear what you think about this. Good advice and critique is always welcome too (I'm trying to improve all the time).

Paljon kiitoksia! Vesiväreillä on mukava sotkea (väritys paljon kivempaa kuin puuväreillä), pitäisi vain harjoitella enemmän noita tekniikoita.

Minä taas olen mestari pilaamaan vesivärityöt esim. huolimattomalla pinnotuksella, repimällä paperin tai käyttämällä vahingossa liikaa vettä jolloin kaikki värit sotkeentuu

Hey this is really cool! I love it. I think the rocks fit very well into the whole "gauntlet" theme that the story was built around and watercolors are such a tough medium to work in too. THANKS!! Am just going to shuffle him off to my fav folder.
