Artist's Comments

*dies* only took me three months for this one :/ its about time! I was so excited when I finished it last week and I set out to find someone who had a scanner big enough for a drawing on 14x17 in. paper. yes, its that big :| but you know, bigger paper lets me be as much of a detail freak as I want and its really thick, nice paper so yeah. No one had a scanner. So I took four separate scans and put them together in GIMP. not as easy as it sounds, not at all. This is my third day on putting them together. *huff* i love the sky @_@

the idea came out of being at my grandparents house for a while, and they really push me to do my best in art. you might notice the horse looks weird though, I did that on purpose. It has no mane because, well, it looks like more of a guardian like that :3 I made it's anatomy look like that of a doberman(guard dogs y'know?), and the shading was another huge first. Never shaded like that before.

I also wanted nothing to stand out except for the horse, so everything in the background is dark, while the horse is lighter. Anyway, enjoy my 3 months of work and critique it! :D
1st on 14x17 paper
1st for intense shading action
1st time not doing any linework in the picture

What disturbs me is not the fact that I had a three hour conversation with a refrigerator, but the fact that the refrigerator didn't even exist.
