Description Actually just four. Misleading title. Sorry.

Prize for the winners of Serenity Lake's Horse Trials 2012 [link]

Sorry it took so long, first three weeks of March were extremely busy for me. Also I can't draw greys. Also sorry about the random shadows here and there (especially over Kikimora's face and shoulders, no idea why they're there since I was photographing the drawing in direct sunlight), I didn't notice them until I had uploaded the photo to my computer and by then the camera battery had died. I'll try to update with a more evenly lighted version this week.

Left to right:
*cyprussian 's Nattvik's Kikimora
=WB-Equine-Art 's Steel Force
=OakBrookeStables ' Falling Raindrops
*TackRack 's HS Miss Behave

Lovely image, the tight composition is nice. I especially like the look of the lead horse, great texture.
And omg, the title is great, I'm so tempted to steal the title & idea.

Aww this is such a lovely image! Lovely movement, each horse is placed perfectly. Your a pro at shading greys. I can't even paint a dapple digitally and here you are just killing it haha.

True story: Results for the show went up and I was reminded to do prizes, so I thought, okay, let's go check out who won. Click... hm, a grey, I guess I can do that... click... err another grey, but I'll survive... click... fleabitten grey I'm gonna die.... click... HOW ON EARTH AM I GOING TO COLOR THIS I think I stared at her for 15 minutes straight just to try and figure out how I was going to draw her I'm glad you like it though, and hopefully I'll get a better version uploaded soon once I've got better light for taking photos in ^^
