Description Little Vegas, do you believe
In dreaming big on Christmas Eve?
When reindeer gain the gift of flight,
Would you like to soar tonight? 

It's Secret Santa gift time for

This is my second Secret Santa gift exchange for 2013.  (I just love participating in them!  )  This is for the one =xRhythmOfLove hosted.  (And a big thank you to her for organizing this fun event!  )

This is *BlueCreekFarm 's gorgeous mare, Vegas Girl.  I loved her coat at first sight, especially all those little white speckles!    As the poem says, she's dreaming she's one of Santa's reindeer, soaring across the sky on Christmas night.  This was oodles of fun to make, and I loved every moment of it! 

On a side note, you may have noticed this piece looks similar to another one in =xRhythmOfLove 's Equine Secret Santa.  *AusEquine and I coincidentally had the same idea, and ended up doing twin pieces.  It's no biggie, and she and I already chatted and had a good laugh about it.  (It was just a bizarre coincidence.  )  I guess great minds think alike, huh? 

Merry Christmas, *BlueCreekFarm !  I hope you have a fantastic holiday!

This is so cute! I adore her expression


Your style is so distinctive and beautiful. I can see it improve with every piece


Lovely work as always

Thank you--and thanks for the fave!    I'm out of practice on full-body horses, so this one was a little rough and rusty getting started!    I'm glad you like my style (although I think yours is WAY prettier!  )  These ESS pieces were a fun way to artistically end the year!    (And now I'm in the mood to draw horsies again!    Hooray!)  Thanks again!

You're more than welcome


Well it still looks great, it definitely doesn't show that you were a little out of practise


Yaaaaay horsies!

Thank you!     (And thanks for the fave, too, dear!  )  Haha, I think my equine style is poopy, so I'm happy to hear you think otherwise!    I figured Lord-STARRYFace would enjoy all those stars!    (I do love painting night skies.  They're my favorite!  )  Thanks for the awesome comment!  Always love hearing from you!

I lovw that blissful expression and the way you drew the legs The antlers and blanket are a very nice touch, and I love the way the character's mane and tail are flowing in the wind The sky colors look really beautiful with the character's color scheme, and the faint outline is pretty neat

Seeburglar In reply to ContinuingLegacy [2013-12-27 19:14:56 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, dear!  (And for the fave, too!  )  Oh goodness--I haven't drawn a full-body horse since early 2013, so I really struggled with those legs!    I'm thrilled to hear you think they turned out okay!    (I only re-drew them about 6 times!  )  I'm glad you like the color-scheme I went with, too!    It was fun picking out background colors to go with Vegas' pretty coat.  Thanks for the sweet comment!
