Description I've been meaning to do this for a long time, a proper picture of my gorgeous Solven character, Hinto. The Solven breed was created by

I've wanted a character with a complicated, non-symetrical design for ages, so I tweaked Hintos original design and got this. I already completely love him, though I definitely have enough characters already!

Someday I will finally get around to making charachter sheets for all of my OC's, but for now I'll just do his quick history.

***

Hinto is only 7, very young for an immortal breed. His best friend growing up was a filly called Lakita. They quickly fell in love and were going to spend eternity together.

Young immortal horses often have the problem of thinking that they're invincible and he and Lakita would always go on slightly dangeround adventures. One day when they were playing around the mountains they were attacked by a young dragon. Hinto tried to distract it, but it was drawn to Lakita's bright, flashy colours and attacked her. Horrified, Hinto ran for his life, still unsure if the dragon had meant them harm or didn't know it's own strength due to it's youth.

Hinto was too heartbroken to return to his heard and the painful memories. He withdrew from the playful colt that he had been and became much more quiet and reserved.

Solven mate for life, so for the rest of his eternity Hinto will be alone...

***

...Or will he?

I have no idea if I'm going to furthur Hinto's story. I'll probably design Lakita, she's a buckskin with bright pink horns and eyes.

Love the design and the background...the lighting on the clouds especially. It did not click with me that the background had water in it for a second though...I think maybe the reflections of the mountains are too...straight or something? I think maybe if you added some extra highlights on the surface of the water it would be more instantly recognizable...or maybe it's just my eyes. xD

Thank you!

Yes, I'm not really happy with the water in this picture, I still need to work on it more. Some extra highlights could help, thanks for the tip!

No problem, and thank YOU for all the tips...I put "critique appreciated" on most of my drawings but it's still fairly uncommon to get some truly helpful insight.

Aww, pretty

No comments here, but you did a really good job. Especially with this connection of colours - cold blue and white seems to look really fine with each other

You're already in the registry , thank you for creating him ^^ [link]
