Description The snowstorm whipped at his mane and tail, pulling hair from its roots with icy claws. The sensation was painful, and it made him grit his teeth in despair. It was only for a short moment, however, as he summoned power from the frozen ground beneath his hooves and up into his veins.

The snow king rose up onto his hind legs in a magnificent display of power as the blizzard struck away from him, curving around him like a forever shifting palace, full of blues and blinding whites. His eyes glowed as he kept the power awake, and his hooves became blue as the power was absorbed. He dropped to all fours then, and strode on un-harried, whilst the raging storm continued.

First of all, apologies if it looks odd or ugly on your monitors, I should know since my netbook stretches everything and my desktop doesn't. Stupid netbook. :/

Every year my mum demands a picture that she can get printed as Christmas cards, so here's 2010's. I'm worried about how it'll show when printed, however, due to all the white and similar colours here. The horse doesn't seem to stand out enough in my opinion. Ah well, I learnt loads here and I'm definitely getting quicker!

Sorry if it's too wintry for Autumn/Fall! I've really grown to love this stallion, no idea for names but I have an inkling of a story. He's maggggiicccallll.

Also super in love with that tail.

Hope you enjoy!

Wow, I love how stylized yet realistic this is! It's a unique take on a snow storm, but still evocative of one I had no problem identifying it as such!
Also, ANATOMY WIN! I noticed that throughout your gallery as a whole, you have a very strong sense of proportions and anatomy A very good skill to have. I also adore the hair; your style is just so awesome. Man, I'm glad I did decide to look through your gallery because I'm very happy with what I see! Watch

Thank you so much!

That means such an awful lot to me, you have no idea. Anatomy is something I pride myself on, thank you for the compliment, and the watch too.

Doesn't look stretched to me *takes out magnifying glass*

Anyway, this picture is gorgeous! The background is amazing, and the detailing is great.

Good.

Thank you so much! I went for a much looser style with the background, as you can see.
