Description And I animated a walk-through for this piece too.  So y'all can see how I tend to go about these things. ^^  

HOLY SMOKES I CANNOT EVEN IT'S BEEN YEARS AND THIS HORSE FINALLY OFFICIALLY EXISTS.

Please welcome a most fabulous Timekin, DGR Sam!   And look, him's a gardener.

Wow, this boy was such a much needed break from school.  Been working on him for like ever, and now he's done!   I'm so close to graduating guys, SO CLOSE. 

And a Happy Birthday to TheOnlyBean !  This is her horse, and has been since the beginning, no April Fool's Joke here, so happy birthday little sis!

Special Stuff
Notes: Sam is our resident quiet soul, with a wonderful heart and enduring attitude.  He's Bean's absolutely fave horse on the Ranch, and he's well loved by the Saddle Club kids (he's the only stallion allowed to be ridden by the kids).  He's more mellow than his brother Frodo , and tends to be an easy-keeper.  His favorite treat in the world are mushrooms.  We've also discovered that he loves flowers; the 3 times he's escaped, he was found in Bean's rosebushes (Bean occasionally takes him out just so he can watch her garden in the roses).  He is the only stallion allowed to roam the grounds without bridle (and only when Bean is with him).

"He's the best isn't he?"

"Ah... I'd disagree.  Frodo's pretty dang fine."

This is gorgeous! Its lovely to see all the final stages come together. You did a lovely job with all the tones in his coat and I love all the sketchy shading - especially the cross-hatching effect of his jugular down the neck. The markings also came out just beautifully! I love, LOVE the sparkly-shine to select bits of them where they catch the light. Just stunning

Great work, Cat - what a wonderful Birthday present

Awww, thank you!!  Yes, I've been trying to do way more hatching and cross hatching, always fun to do.

Ha, I don't know why I have an issue with metallics, but I was like, LETS MAKE HIM SPARKLY. That's the same as metallic right??  Well he's pretty anyway. 

Again, thanks for the kind comments.

You're welcome Hatching and cross hatching is a fun style of shading, I think. It looks good, here

Lol, sparkly definitely works I think it looks like the metal catching the sunlight. Definitely pretty (or handsome, as the case may be ^^)
