Description
I assure everything is not what it seems
So this is Auril, who is played by the lovely nightingalelullabies ! I really, really loved working with
this beautiful mare. She is everything dark, death, bleak, and cold and that is definitely my style. She brought
me so much muse! I think this is the fastest I've completed a piece in quite a while and I'm super excited about it!
I just was so inspired by this beauty, I really couldn't stop working once i started haha n w n" Also, I think
this piece is a little different than what I normally do. Half way through I started to get a little uncomfortable
with where this was going, I almost scrapped it! But I am so, so glad I didn't because I think this ended up
being one of my favorites out of my gallery! I hope you guys agree ♥
Any fav's, views, comments, or watches are all so greatly appreciated! Your support keeps me going ♥♥
As always, a huge thank you to these wonderful stock artists! I would not be able to do what I do without you guys, so thank you ♥

This is pretty much the best thing ever!!! The composition is perfect and the color is AMAZING - and such a departure for you (in the best possible way!) I love seeing how you branch out still maintain your quintessential Apexiness
