Starting my lease of IHS Xcellence! And I'm rather please with how she turned out - Celene is a fun horse to draw. The drawing shows the warm-up for the race before loading, with the trot made a bit more engaged compared with the reference. The 'Belmont Park' in the flower bed is a bit oddly twisted (which also affects the silks of the Triple Crown winners), and the shading on Adras is a bit iffy. I randomly rolled the post number, and it just so happened to be six, which of course has a saddle blanket that matches the Iron Horse Stud silks,.

This has been sitting in my inbox for weeks now and I've been meaning to comment. Celene looks fantastic, engaged and ready to take on the world! I really like the shading on both her and Adras, and I think the flowers came out great. I especially like the 3-D effect on the letters.
