Description ***this is a commission, no copies, and no touching, unless you want your ass diced into a million tiny pieces**

See?! This, is what I do. I knocked this thing out in, oh, three hours today. I inked out the lines and junk early this morning (around 2 or 3AM), so they could dry before I had to erase what was underneath. Complicated, I know. But this is better. Yes, much better. Before I had two other versions of this, all finished and "pretty". Really, they looked like total shit, and I knew that. So somehow, my idiot brain took over during English class, and sketched this out. On notebook paper. I later transferred it to the 18x24 that it is.

Anyshit, this is a commission for a wicked cool lady who loves horses. And, red and black. So huzzah. This is what became of those directions, and of course, there\'s another half to it. She wanted two paintings. This is only one. (Aren't we glad Kels can count?) So I'll start the next one as soon as I have more watercolor paper. (Yes, I was lucky enough to find this behind my dresser!)

Info:
- "Warbird"
- 18x24
- Generic watercolor paper
- Crappy watercolors (they're all Kels can afford, because she's a loser!)
- It's a dapple gray [American] Indian pony, for those of you who can't tell

Ugh I love this one. The red stands out awesomely against the dark grays. You can tell the horse is strong and mysterious. I love it!!

I love the contrast in this, the red kicking in against the black and white gives it such a vibe. And the style and quality is stunning. Beautiful detail, its good to see some of your commission work

I'm just so glad my lovely commissioner asked for such a brilliant color combination. Red and black, and she gave me the rest to figure out on my own. I always love that. Thank you soooo much, Abe-ita!

You're so poetic. Love that. Aye, it's one of my favorite colors, too! Too cool of a color not to love, despite what certain colleges have done to it. *coughgagdie* Thank you, thank you, thank you!
