Description Faimé Breeding between:
x



Brittany went to bed full of excitement.  She wasn't even sure how she was going to fall asleep.

Earlier in the evening, Dean, her husband, sat her down and told her that he wanted to discuss their Faime herd.  Brittany was nervous, because she knew that Dean wanted to try and cap the herd at a "manageable" size.  They had acquired a fair few beauties as of late, and she could not bear the thought of parting with any of them.  And the staff currently working at AVS seemed to be handling the size of their herd very efficiently - each horse receiving the attention and training that was required. So she was pleasantly surprised when he began talking about acquiring an additional foal.  He knew that she loved the Bio mutation, and had been wanting to find a mare with that pattern. 

He laid some brochure's across the table, showcasing a select few studs he had chosen, and immediately began discussing the desired attributes of each.  Brittany and Dean took their time, exploring each possibility and what they were looking for in a potential foal.  It did not take them long to agree on an exquisite mare and stunning stallion as the horses to be the parents for their new little dream foal.  Brittany was excited beyond belief.

As she laid her head on the pillow and closed her eyes, she replayed all of the pictures she had seen of Queenie and Nuc in her mind's eye.  She drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the silky black mare walking through a midnight meadow, with a full moon brilliantly illuminating the sky.  As the mare moved effortlessly, her athletic build showing off her graceful movements, she spotted another horse in the distance.  It was a dark chestnut stallion, covered in glowing bioluminescent markings, who stood statuesque among dancing fireflies.  He waited, his stance regal, as she drew near to him, her hooves making no sounds on the delicate grass.  The horses stood facing each other, their breaths slow and controlled, as time seemed to slow around them.  They were lost in a magical moment, with fireflies dancing on a spring breeze and the smell of lavender filled the night sky.  The light of the moon appeared to glow even brighter, enveloping the horses in an angelic aura.  The moment was pure magic... and the result of this meeting would be nothing less than magical itself. 



I'm so excited to be getting my first bio!!!   The breeding image drawn is from Brittany's dream (as Nuc's personality would... well, let's just say that AI is required for all his breedings and leave it there). 

I know I am crazy behind on messages and RP's... I'm really sorry guys.  I'm getting to this stuff as I can (slowly), in between feeling sick and taking all my meds.  I promise I'll catch up eventually.

Beautiful and magical picture!
Both horses look so noble and majestic with their thick manes and feathered legs! I also like a lot that you chose to show this moment in moonlight: giant moon creates a magical feeling and dark environment shows the bio markings beautifully. And what a pretty foal became as a result!

I love your idea of using Brittany's dream for this image; the AI moment might have been educational but it wouldn't have created a very pretty picture...

Thank you! 

I wanted to give both of the parent's owners a breed pic that they would (hopefully) like... and I knew that if I wanted to make it a magical thing (luv those big moons) it was going to have to be make-believe or from a dream... since Nuc's personality does not permit this type of breeding otherwise. 

I'm very excited to be getting my first Bio, and my first Sport horse, from this pairing.  Now to practice more night time backgrounds so I can show off Tia's plankton markings.

You're very welcome!

Looking forward to see all the dramatic night backgrounds showing Tia's gorgeous bio markings! And of course her beautiful day coat as well.

I've been considering getting a bio more and more lately...just haven't spotted that one design that I NEED (that or they're all in forever homes).

I'm really excited for you, though! I'm sure your bio foal will look stunning. And this is just a lovely piece to celebrate the upcoming new addition

I love the huge moon and the soft purple hues in the background. Using a single colour in a background is something I really love when done well; you can get texture, depth and detail whilst still allowing the characters to the front to stand out, and I think you did it nicely. The glowing motes and little grassy tufts are perfect touches

And then those two...well, they're just beautiful. More of your stunning lineart with the abundant manes and feathers. The poses are quite strong and alert but they've also got a peaceful feel to them which I quite like the contrast of.

They appear to be cel shaded, and with the soft shading in the back, it doesn't match perfectly, but then, funny light sources do funny things, and backlighting is tricky. The halo of light around them is beautifully done, though; I really love that.

Can't wait to see your new foal!

I've been eyeing Bio's for some time, but kept telling myself I didn't need another horse.  But as soon as this breeding opportunity presented itself, I was sold! 

The bio design I made didn't turn out as fabulous as it looked in my head - but hey, that's what practice is for, yeah?

Can you tell I had no background plans when I drew this...  you are tots right, the horses are cel shaded and the background is soft shaded.  I was too tired to draw and cel shade an entire background, and I've seen some pieces (same style: horse cel shaded/background soft shaded) that I really like - so I gave it a go.  (ie. fav.me/d7j6h8w )  I definitely need to practice meshing my styles (if I'm gonna keep doing this)... and any feedback is always much appreciated. 

I'm glad you think the halo of light around the horses worked... that's the first time I've ever tried that (and lightening some of the lineart also).  I still need more practice with back-lighting (tons), but am happy with how my first attempt turned out.

Thanks so much for the feedback hun.

ReQuay In reply to AutumnCreekFarms [2014-07-17 19:21:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I thought a 'dream' with Nuc would be prettier than an AI image. 

I'm so glad that you like it and have found additional uses for it.
