Make haste my friend, the rain is coming.

I'm still working on this actually, tweaking and changing and going on and on, so this is not really true to the original image file (which right now is about 156 MB heavy! )

From the beginning it was a chestnut actually, but though he was pretty that way, I think a bay suited the dark mood of the image better.

I'm pretty satisfied with the anatomy, which I owe to the ref pic. But, I feel I need to trim it a bit more, background things mostly. If anyone has any thoughts/ideas/crit, do please tell.

EDIT : I've read and taken it in! *grin* Here's a new version, less "chunky" I hope. And it's a bit brighter, as I noticed that on pc screens it looks horribly dark. Also added a watermark, and greyed the signature a bit - though I prefer to have my signature very 'there' - on prints it does of course not look as such with watremarks andthat signature, but have an actual signature. Yeah, that's right, you can order prints from me! *grin*
