Description
...continuity? What's that?IMPERIAL WINTER DRESSAGE
Simon, Andy and Sagadir aka team 'SAS'(s) have landed at Imperial - along with Dido and Coco #BitchesPls x)
The fact that I accidentally made these guys look like a gay couple... heh
Oh well. Andy is a friendly dude towards everyone around him and resting enough in himself to not mind/care about other people's assumptions. And for Simon it's not the worst false assumption anyone has ever made about him x)...for this event they are going to be a team, in any case. Simon and Saggy will take on the GP/GPS and Andy will be the honoured groom/assistant/extra hand/punslinger/drink fetcher... and of course the proud 'father' of Sagadir :')
....and of COURSE they are all excited to have arrived
Encountering familiar faces wherever they go ~KimenLie 's Kaira van Leeuwen has been a frequent guest at Zdarloch - friend of both the Kvark and 'Uncle Andy'
She and her three studs were of course spotted immediately; ever eye catching in her orange shirt and glorious unicorn hat x) abosz007 's boys Lyo and Damon are not easily overlooked either. Standing ready to greet the arrivals they send their intrigued squints in the direction of team SASs. It was not long ago that Damon and Simon started their glorious rivalry culminating at the AUSE 2018 - and this rivalry is far from buried yet ~
Bring it on
Kaira, El Fantasma (Ghost), Mezuzah and Cashmere Nero reside with KimenLie
Lyo, Damon and of course BORIS (hiding from the dreadful chihuahua approaching) reside with abosz007
Simon, Andy, Sejrbank Sagadir , Dido and Coco reside with meeee

Jjsjnskskn all these colors have me screeching, I love the combination so much!!

Oh my gosh!! I am absolutely in love with this color scheme! 
Also before I read the description I was like 'ohhh look at that arm candy!' But it still stands! Andy is a real catch even if he might not sing the same tune as Simon!
Also I'm so glad Andy came so that Gabriel at least is acquainted with one person!
also, how does Simon react/ feel about Sagadir's "screaming" for lack of a better word? I'd like to feature them in my vet check entry, also what would Siman and Sagi be wearing??

Thank you so much! Super happy you like it!
Hehe, I am sure Andy would want to frame that sentence and hang it on his wall 
Aw yay - and likewise! Always good to see familiar faces! I am sure he very well remembers their amazing selfie from the Hubertus Hunt
Heh, I think he finds it amusing - they both share that 'braggart' personality trait

Beautiful as always! Quick question: The dog closest to the viewer on Simon's left... Is that a Saluki, or a different sight hound breed?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much!
Well spotted! Dido is the official 'stable dog' of Zdarloch - she is a saluki/border collie mix

Woot!! XD She looks darling!

Oh god, those colour matching vibes keep coming.
For some reason I adore the point of view right here, mostly because the anatomy is executed so well and you made every detail blend in so effortless! Even though there are a lot of amazing things going on here (the three dogs looking at each other, four horses and five humans (hell ... how did you survive? 
I don't know why, but it are these pieces from you I love the most - everyday moments and stable life pictures. You don't see that very much in the HARPG community, from what I've seen; I think that's somewhat your brand, if I may say so! Ofcourse, along with your amazing storyline and show entries!
I absolutely adore it! Good luck at the show!

Hehe, thank you!
I am super happy you think so! Walking poses from behind can be...tricky, to say the least
Thank you! I do love making these daily-life pictures a lot.

Look at ALL those lovely characters in one piece. They all look fabulous. <3 Theee dogs <3 Gotta love them.
Heh, the group could easily use that road as a runway. Better not slip though. xD

Thank you so much!
Walk walk fashion baby ~ xD ...it would be awkward if either of them slipped x)

how do you make pictures and composition look so effortless?? Dx
all the characters just look so natural! no one looks stiff or awkwardly placed or posed and I feel like I'm really there
also that tail braid??? and the footprints and Boris is such a cutie hiding behind Damon. ahhh I love this

Thank you so much! Really happy you think so! ; U ;
Fitting many characters into one scene is always a bit of a composition challenge, tbh xD
Thank you! Hehe yes, poor Boris has learned to fear the Doomsday Chihuahua
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
God I'm obsessed with how you drew the light footprints in the snow! I really admire your ability to include so many characters in one image and not have a single one of them look like you've just stuck them flatly in the background - they're just as full of life as the ones in the foreground.
Also Simon's legs are goals right there

What a beautiful picture, there’s something so cinematic about it, the thin layer of snow on the road, how th pastel sky compliments Sagadir and then contrasts with the dark rug and clothing of Simon and Andy. Just a joy to look at!

Oh, back-view on Simon because of his choking-accident?
Anyways, the boys look great together! #TeamSas (s)
Grand job on Sagadir's tail!
And how regal Ghost looks, wow!
Loving Coco in the Denmark-Outfit! Red definitely suits her well, just as her owner^^

Heh, actually my storyline and this image are more than one year apart; timeline-wise
Thank you so much! Oh yes, it was the first time in a while that I drew a braid; I'm happy to hear it turned out looking ok x) ..gotta protect that tail, hehehe
Thank you! Oh yes; Coco is dressed for the occasion. Best little cheerleader

I don't even know where to start on explaining why i adore this image to bits.
The first that strikes is the well chosen composition, the focus on the chars, the awesome movement that really seems like you stopped a video and you wait for the play button to appear. I ADORE the colors you used and the way how realistically you drew the pavement and the footprints in the snow, you can nearly hear it cracking under their feet and the hoof steps approaching. You really nailed the way Lyo and Damon are standing there, just so typical stances and expressions, its really touching how much attention you put into such details QQ
(LOL AND BORIS. THATS SO HIM. ) But you gotta admit Coco looks hella intimidating

Aaa, thank you so much! I am incredibly happy to hear you like the outcome; I sure wouldn't want to depict your guys or your estate in a way that was too blatantly wrong
Snow is ALWAYS fun to draw!
I support Boris in all ways

I've been taking Art History (Renaissance) this semester, and it's completely opened my eyes. The first thing I thought when I saw this was, huh, the main subject is on a central axis, there's a distinct pyramidal shape between the four foreground figures (including dogs), and there's a sense of deep space because fo the strong liner perspective...
Then I noticed how pretty all the horses are. This is a great painting!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That sounds like a very interesting subject!
That was a very accurate and thorough description of the composition. It's pretty cool to hear it summarized and theorized in a few sentences; most of it was done ad hoc and based on 'feeling'/composition instinct (aka 'what looks harmonic') so to hear it described in technical terms is really neat
Thank you so much!

You're welcome! I've been semi-stalking your artwork for a while now - always love when it pops up in my inbox!

I love how matchy-match your entire team is
And I adore how you posed everyone here, the poses are so 'in motion', like someone just quickly took out a cellphone and snagged a picture. The movement is so fluent.
Also
I just noticed Cocos little shoes. And my heart screamed XD <33 Look at this snazzy little lady!
You did a great job capturing everyones character and unique design
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe; it's true #TeamSpirit to by matchy-matchy
I'm glad you think so! Honestly, walking poses can be so very awkward; especially if shown from behind or straight-on. I apparently like to torture myself a little XD ANYWAY, I'm very honoured you like the outcome
Hehe, gotta protect them little pawsies <3
Thank you so much Ali!

see sagadir and Ghost are rocking the braided tail look together >) awyish

Heh, he might be... ears pointing in different directions; he is plotting thinggss
Thank you! I.. kinda regret not upping the dpi for this, because squishy lil faces are always hard, but... #shetried x) I just had to fit Kaira AND her three boys into it somehow, hehe

Coco's jacket tho, now that is style.
I might have to include Simon in the bg somewhere if I get the time to join the event ;U;

Ohh, I would be so very honoured, thank you - will you be joining too?
