Description This is a gift for the WONDERFUL *Crazysparkles06 She is so full of joy and kindness even through all her hardships. This woman is the kindest and most caring friend DA. She has truly warmed my heart with her passion for art, her generosity, and friendship. She has given me several awesome gifts so i thought it only fair to return the favor!

So here is her character, the beautiful mare Flight Angel. Hope you like it! Thanks Sarah!

For some strange reason... I thought I already commented on this. Perhaps I talked about it in a note...? I clearly remember rambling on about how this would be perfect for a journal CSS, but you know, I could have dreamed it up. My memory is by NO MEANS reliable!

If I haven't talked to you about this piece before, my sincerest apologies. I hate commenting on giftart when I don't feel well because I feel like it deserves the best comment I can give, and when you're sick, no matter how good your intentions are, things always come out less-than-perfect; and to me a comment like that is not acceptable on a piece of such beauty and hard work. Perhaps you don't understand that reasoning, and that's fine, I just hope you can forgive me for taking so long to comment. It's not that I didn't love or appreciate your time and generosity, I just wanted to give you the same effort and more in return, and I've been unable to do that until now. I really hope you don't hold it against me.

Anyway, onto the piece itself! Apollo, you've really outdone yourself! This is such a striking, unique, (and fitting) pose for Flight Angel. She is just absolutely breath-taking. When I close my eyes, this is how I imagine her, and you've captured it so beautifully. The colors are spot on too! I don't know if you know this, but pink and purple are my two favorite colors, and so not only does this piece scream "Flight Angel", it also screams "me" due to the gorgeous colors of the sky. I usually draw Flight Angel with a short, pulled mane because she's a racehorse, but the long flowing mane and tail you've given her really suit her too. And the grass is so soft, it looks like she's in paradise. I could just stare at this piece for hours!

Thank you so very, very much Apollo! I am just blown away by this, and am honored to be one of the few people who have their character drawn in your style! I will cherish this always, and if I can find someone to make me a nice CSS, I will more than likely use this for my journal (with your permission of course!)
