Outlaw Trail Portrait

And here is the same portrait in full color as seen in sepia here:


This and the sepia version are for the HARPG Outlaw Trail ride and contest. The color version is a bonus for extra credit.

#HARPG-Outlaw-Trail

Rider: Saki Harusame
Horse: Black Velvet and Lace (Blackie to his friends)

Saki's gear: loosely based on Colonel Mortimer's kit from "A Fistful of Dollars". Boots are not your standard Western boots, but more a cavalry boot.

Blackie's gear: bridle is a traditional horsehair bosal with fiador, saddle is a modified Civil War era McClellan cavalry saddle with center-hung stirrups.

This painting took a couple days of thought to figure out the pose and elements, the lines were done in sepia brushmarker. [link]

Colors are a mix of traditional and digital and include watercolor pencils, watercolor, ArtRage, and Paint Shop Pro. Sepia processing done in PSP.
