Description
This is a commission from *Dezzired of her OC, Ahriman! He was quite a challenge, see his reference here; [link] - I haven't ever been able to find amazing stock of heavy drafts that are painted or don't have a buttload of white, so I had to paint over a lot of white markings and fix this on up.The originals were pretty good though. I stitched 2 horses together for this pose; the same horse, just different poses. And then a lot of painting to shift the lighting, and fiddling with mane and tail. I'm still out on my manes and tails, but I am happy with it mostly
I do hope I did him justice! I was going to have his mouth hanging open but it didn't work, and it looked rather... odd. I'm quite happy with this, in the end!

What a fantastic manip! The colours are blended beautifully, and I can't believe it's 2 horses stitched into one, because the whole thing is so fluid!
