Description *faceplants*

And thus my semi-kind-of triumphant return to DA (and Adobe) after having my baby. I swear, I don't do anything in Adobe for a month and my brain begins to rot.

Total time: Too much. I don't know how long it took me... I just know that it took a long time to find the right stocks (hours), and then took.. I don't know. Somewhere between 6-8 solid hours of manipulating/painting to slap it all together.

The manes, tails, horn, butterfly and bird were painted, along with the sky beyond the mountains. Every bit of this was touched in some way (and I do mean every last pixel), though it doesn't look like it for the most part. Which, I suppose, is the point of it in the end, huh?


This picture was done for ~Wintermagie for capturing my 10,000th pageview. I know, I'm over 15k now, but.. but.. I was busy! Having a baby is hard work.

These two are from a story she's writing, based, from what I understood, around a palo pegasus and a black unicorn who are love-bound, but nothing that will ever truly work out in the end. The white butterfly and pink bird were requested to be in there as well; the butterfly is connected to the palomino, and the bird to the unicorn. The quote is hers too - all compliments to the beautiful words goes to her, of course!

Thanks so much honey! The words belong to ~Wintermagie - she commissioned it, and I was happy to set it up to what she wanted.

You might want to know...someone has taken your hard work and slightly re-edited without crediting you at all, and also claiming it as their work. All it says is "Horse stock from Deviantart"!!!

I caught her on DA with it and reported it.. I suppose the next step is to contact her about having her take it off of photobucket.

Thank you so much for letting me know.

Flawless manipulation! @_@ Both the horses look like they were painted from scratch. The BG is gorgeous, as well. It all meshes together very nicely.

Nice job on the background choice and slaving away to find the right colours. 'Twas sure worth it! In the soft wild, away from civilization is a good environment choice for your concept here. The work on the characters themselves is good, too. Some of the anatomy is a bit wonky, but like you said, you've been busy, and horses are tough to draw anyway.

BUt I think this would have even more meaning if the Pegasus were a gryphon. Because gryphons and unicorns are apparently natural enemies. Changing the Pegasus to a gryphon might've made the idea of love never dying, no matter what the situation, more emphasized.

arrsistable In reply to RFZT [2007-12-29 16:08:38 +0000 UTC]

Well thanks much! I really appreciate the different view of a gryphon vs the pegasus; I did a unicorn because it was what was asked in the commission. I didn't know that gryphons and unis were natural enemies though -- maybe I'll do another picture at some point depicting a fight scene.

Again, thanks!

RFZT In reply to arrsistable [2007-12-31 22:31:54 +0000 UTC]

Wait. This was a commision?

Never mind. XP

Meh, two of my characters are a dragon and a unicorn. They like each other, buuuuut their families completely abhor their idea of being boyfriend and girlfriend. Ryder, the dragon--his parents are disgusted that he wants a unicorn for a girlfriend. Atared's parents think likewise; they say it's completely offensive to unicorns that she "Likes something and crude and cruel as a dragon." I think they're shoving forward to my more recognised characters because of this conflict. This pic made me think of them.
