Artist's Comments

All I can say is... :faint:

For this month's equinexchange I got *sighthoundlady's gorgeous mare Farfalla! She asked for her to be drawn as a Companion from the Heralds of Valdemar books by Mercedes Lackey. (Never read them but I'm sure they're interesting!)

Yes yes I know, its pretty late in the month and I'm cutting it close but at least I got it done! I'm still struggling with my art block, but I think its starting to go somewhere else.. after I had to beat it away with a stick the whole month.

Oh well, I still enjoyed drawing her. I do apologize if the tack is wrong, there were a few references left for me to use and each one had a different style so I just kinda went with what I thought I could do, I hope its alright. My first time drawing a horse with a saddle and stuff.. I guess it turned out alright. :D

She's so beautiful! I love her expression and the tack looks like it took some time to draw, I wouldn't have patience to do it.

Thank you! :D
The tack wasn't really too hard, it was just me being worried about not getting it right that messed with my head! And trust me, I lost patience all month with the pieces I've been working on- I would work on one for about 10-15 minutes and then be all like.. "I don't feel like drawing anymore..." But now I'm glad I took my time on this one!

I keep saying I'll have my new character ready but shes still unfinished.. I'll get her in someday, though! :XD:

I've been feeling like that, I feel a huge urge to draw, start, and then like 5-10 min later I just lose all my patience and stop, it's really annoying!
Well I think the tack looks great! Awesome job!
And you're welcome!

Wow, you did an awesome job with her! I especially love how silvery her coat looks, and the way her head is canted so that her hair is falling just slightly over the glowing stone on her forehead. And great job with the tack, too; I've never done any before, either, so I'm almost dreading getting Farfalla; I doubt I'll do as good a job as you did!

Thanks! The reference pictures always showed her coat looking beautiful, so I knew I had to make it look somewhat like *sighthoundlady did! I appreciate the comment and I'm sure if you get her you'll do fine, since I was worried too and it turned out pretty much how I wanted! ^_^

Thank you! I usually have trouble with expressions and such, but I think I managed to get the impassive/innocent look I was going for.. I'm pretty satisifed with this one. :D
