Description Show: Rengetti Winter Contest
Horse: 806 NightTide
Prompt: "It's a cold day, and the last few leaves are clinging desperately to the trees in the frosty breeze. It has snowed heavily in the north, leaving the mountain regions with a crisp, thick white blanket. While snow hasn't reached the other areas yet, the clouds are hanging low and heavy, looking as though they could relieve themselves of their wintery load any moment. Puddles are frozen, and a layer of frost covers the remaining ground, causing it to glitter when the sun breaks though. It's a magical time, but don't forget to keep warm!"

I started on this as soon as the contest was announced and it's taken me this long to make this! it's all biro, gel pen and markers, except the sparkles on the snow which I added in manga studio after I finished.

The hardest bits was colouring Night herself, and I tried to copy PolarisAstrum 's style of shading because I really like how she colours horses and the other hardest bit was the sky. omgsomuchblending. thanks to my dad for teaching me how to blend colours with patience and lots of layers of colour lol

24 Cu
2 SP (added to stamina category because riding in snow must be hard work. doubled from show)

Looks amazing the bg has so much details, and the movement and pose, is just briljant.
Great work!

The title is so apt! It looks like great fun- I think riding in the glistening snow would be such an experience. Little birb!
And great art here, I really love the colors and poses and the depth...I struggle with those far away backgrounds lol

Good luck in the contest; I'd better up my game for my entry :U
