Description The final entry to *saregona 's Stockman's Challenge!

I don't think I EVER had to rush so much as for this one... basically I REALLY didn't have enough time, which is visible in the quality...

But at least I have an entry in...

---------------------------------

Joey wiped the sweat off his brow with his equally-sweaty arm. Despite the sunscreen he put on, he could feel the beginning of a sunburn coming up...

Even if the cows were calm and friendly, herding them down the mountains was HARD work... Joey really missed Kya, his trained Border Collie, now.

'Too bad I couldn't bring her with me....' "But we'll manage like this just fine too, huh Semmi?" Joey continued out-loud to the snow mustang.

"You alright back there, Joey?" Mrs. Green called from up front. As she did, Hiccup jumped sideways just slightly, but not fazing the experienced horse-woman in the least.

"Yeah, just fine." Joey called back.

He marvelled at the change Mrs. Green had managed with Hiccup over just the last few days... The horse had been a nice horse to begin with, but every little movement made him jump... not to mention he twitched whenever the reign touched his neck.
Of course he still spooked and twitched every once in a while, but the difference was astounding nonetheless. He was less twitchy and spooked a lot less as well... trusting his rider to know what was dangerous or not.

'If only I was as great with horses at Mrs. Green...' Joey thought wistfully.

----------------------------------


Well, that's it I suppose....

I'm strangely pleased with the front-most cow and the rest is oooookay I suppose... nothing to write home about though...

Ah well...


Image and Semmi are mine!

Thanks! And I don't think it's too long... cows are loooooooong --> [link] She may not have a deep enough chest though... (which would make her look longer)

wow you're right! Didn't even know those cows where so long!!!
hmm the chest looks right, maybe a little bit lower, but it looks great
Surprising how you got those so right; cows are very hard

Haha, yeah, I looked at plenty of refs to make em look right! They're definitely VERY different than horses

Wow, this looks great, what are you talking about bad quality?
The background is not as detailed as the last one, but I still love it. Semmi looks great and so do the cows!

I also think that a simple background doesn't make the quality bad
i think the picture looks very nice the way it is. i especially like the shading on the cow in the front. you did a very good job

GinasDream In reply to dat-inu [2011-03-19 08:07:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I'd die if I had to shade a cow although around where I live are a lot cows to look at^^
