Description Title is a lyric from 'Rooftops' by Lostprophets. I downloaded their iTunes Essentials compilation last night (I've been meaning to do it since seeing them at Reading Festival in August), and I must have listened to this song about six times today!

I recently transferred all the files from my old laptop back onto my new one (they were all lost when the new laptop's hard-drive died), and tonight I was sifting through all my art folders looking for WIPs. And I found this. If I remember correctly I was going to do a 'Two Years On, New and Improved' version of this drawing: [link] (which would have been Trev and Etoile's two year anniversary because this is the picture in which they became official mates). If you check out the date, that was back in last May, so you can see how long this has been gathering dust.
My style has changed so much and improved so much since then, that I just can't face finishing it. There are so many bits about it that I hate (Trev's horn, Etoile's mane/tail...), and I've just lost my way with it. But at the same time I put so much time and effort into this that I can't face letting it rot, so here it is for your enjoyment.
The background is something I quickly threw together while I was without my tablet . It's a bit rubbish, but it amused me that I'd inadvertently posed them in an almost heart-shape.

There is more up to date Trev and Etoile artwork in the pipes, so keep your eyes peeled for that in the near future, along with some other proper art and the my New Years (belated Xmas) gifts.

Thank you! The poses were so much fun, and I really wanted to make it look like they were dancing together.

I have so much love for these two! They are just adorable! You can definitely see the improvements in your art from looking at the one two years ago. The poses are brilliant! It would take me hours to do something like that!

It really warms my heart to see how much love and appreciation these two get from people other than Ana and I, because I have so much love for them too. Especially when you consider how much of my gallery is devoted to them! (Speaking of which, there are good two or three more WIPs of them on my laptop... Keep your eyes peeled!)
Even when you compare this art (done in about April/May last year), to what I'm producing now nearly 9 months later, the change is quite striking. Well it is to me anyway. That original Trev and Etoile one sometimes makes me cringe when I look at it because of everything that I feel is wrong with it, but at the time I remember being so, so proud of it. It was one of the landmark pieces of art that I've produced since being on dA, so it does have a special place in my heart. I think that was why I wanted to do a new version of it....

They are such a lovely horsey unicorny couple and their colours are so eyecatching, you'd know it was Trav and Etoile even if you were miles away from the computer screen
Aaaaall your art is lovely Harly but yes I do see a significant difference, you've improved so much, so imagine how amazing your art's going to be in like 3 years time, you'll practically be like George Stubbs

AWWWW that is so adorable I love the heart background idea that is gorgeous.
They look so sweet and playful and wrapped up in one another! GAH!!
Your style has changed, you have progressed leaps and bounds over the last year sweetheart! Your work is fantastic.
These guys are just sooo... just... EEEE!!! -squee- LOL

Etoile + Trev = so much love, beauty and goodness!!!
We should really do something to celebrate their three year anniversary this year. That's actually a really long time as far as dA character couples go!

It does scare me sometimes how much my art has changed and developed this year, especially when you consider how little art I actually did!
The background was a very last minute thing. I played around with different ideas for literally hours, and then I just looked at them and suddenly it hit me. THEY ARE IN A HEART SHAPE!! And voila!
