Artist's Comments

There, my first digital painting - I think I'm starting to get the hang of this!
It was meant to be a sketchy reference sheet showing her conformation, hence the simple pose and small sized image. Then I went overboard on the colouring, and wished I'd painted it at a bigger size - the full view is the actual size I made it at. So, full view to see the details. She's meant to have a blue sheen to her coat - colours died a bit when I optimised it in Imageready.

Sorry about the watermark - unfortunately, it's necessary for conformation pictures like this, to prevent them being taken for sim games.

On a side note, I thought I'd mention that I have a new account, for fantasy art, here: :iconatherenn:

Other than the lack of shadow i would have dead set thought that that was a photograph. You have outdone yourself. The detail of the horse's coat and shine are just amazing. Kudos! :+fav:

You did an excellent job on this. The head is super-realistic, as is the neck. The lower legs and the off-hind could use some work, but it's very very well exicuted!
