Description ~ Spring had just started to set in, and the air was damp with rain when Jacquelyn walked out of the barn, leading out the stable's newest arrival. The chestnut horse walked placidly next to her, bright eyes showing how eager he was to stretch his legs in the green pastures. The grass was slowly starting to return to color after the long winter.

"There you go, boy," Jacquelyn spoke and unclipped the lead rope. "Enjoy the warmer weather!" The horse immediately pranced forward and let out a happy buck before settling down to graze on the tender grass.

Haha, I know this design was from quite a few months ago, but it took me a while before I could find just the right pose and everything to fit what I thought this horse should be like.

I use the ink tool on GIMP, with my Wacom Bamboo Tablet. That's all I know, haha! I always work with a 800x600 pixel image, if that helps.

Lovely job! I'm excited for spring myself, and so is Badg! He gets so patchy when he sheds, there's spots where he's attempted to rub his coat off so it's short and it's just. . he needs a good bath. xD

BeauArrow In reply to luztehBadger [2011-03-01 23:14:45 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm very excited for spring, too. I thought I would want the winter/snow to stay, but then it started getting warmer, and I realized I like riding much better in the warm.

Baha, I know what I mean, I was trying to shed out a horse and I realized I was just making his coat all uneven while all the hair floated onto me.. xD
