Description ARTIST'S COMMENTS

I finally decided to upload a reference sheet of my Arabian mare Chrystanth.

Name: Chrysanth (from the Latin name "chrysanthemum", a name for family of flowers), or Chrys for short
Gender: Female
Age: 4 years
Breed: Arabian, although not completely purebred
Colour: Copper-red Chestnut with darker tail, mane and knees. Two white stockings on the hind legs, with two silver hooves. A small diamond shaped star between her eyes.
Eyes: Brown base with speckles of pink, fuchsia and baby blue highlights. Dark brown eyelashes.
Build: Very small and thin body, the refined and concave head is slightly big in proportion to the body. The neck is arched and the back is fairly short. She stands at 14.2 hands tall (147 cm).
Personality: Although she is still fairly young, she is very bright and clever. She is very curious by nature, which will sometimes get her into troublesome situations. She is quick to judge and can make hasty decisions, but she will also forgive and forget just as easily. She loves to pose and play around, but can sometimes be frightened by the smallest noise or movement. Her temperament can be very fiery from time to time, and she is a very proud lady, so beware not to insult her in any way!

Thank you Like I said before, I was quite usure about adding the spots, but I think they make her who she is.

Wow, hun, I am so glad I watched you!

I love the streak in her tail, and the pretty eye color, too! I love the long mane and tail. I wish I could draw like you do! I love your style. Do you do requests or trades??

Aww thank you so much I am thinking about opening slots for commissions/trades/requests quite soon, but as with many others, due to my lack of time, there will only be limited spaces for each of them. But I will do my best to finish them as soon as possible if people are interested!

I've been staring into that eye for a half hour now and just regained the ability to type words. So beautiful. I love the realistic approach you take to the unrealistic - how her eyes aren't actually pink, but there are enough flecks of pink to really make a difference.

She's a natural beauty. She has a gorgeous form which is realistically imperfect - she's not a cookie-cutter conformation. The blaze in her tail is so beautiful, i don't know how you do it.

excellent as alwaysss.

Aww it's not that good But thanks though, made me really happy to know you like it I don't like to draw too over-the-top unrealistic colours and stuff, so this is about as far as I'm gonna go! No bright green pathces or pink manes for me..

Winzer In reply to cerona [2009-09-13 18:57:04 +0000 UTC]

I'm totally guilty of ridiculous colors. I can't help myself.
I think your style does much better with realistic colors though.

So superstunning Gorgeously coloured and the mane and tail are so fantastic, I love the waviness very very much! And the way you paint them to look so natural and more than that prettier than natural

Thank you I think I'm starting to find a way to paint my horses, finally! I've always been torn between different styles, but I think I'm happy with this one.

She is honestly a beautiful horse. I love her "beauty spots" and her eyes. I love her colors and the flower in her mane and tail. She looks quite real, and the mane/tail makes me want to reach out and run my fingers through it.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it I was a bit unsure about putting it there in the first place, as that would mean it would have to come from a white patch or spot, which in turn would mean she's not purebred, but I think it's that which makes her who she is

She's just enchanting. <3 You did a great job by expressing her personality by her eyes - they reflect all her proud ladyness. Plus, love the way you did the flowers! <3

cerona In reply to KathyKnodoff [2009-09-12 17:48:26 +0000 UTC]

Thank you Eyes are one of the most important ways to express a person or character I think. It's the mirror of the soul, as many say, so I didn't like the fact you couldn't see hers very clearly. Just had to make a close-up aswell!

KathyKnodoff In reply to cerona [2009-09-12 17:56:45 +0000 UTC]

That's the same way I think. I use eyes a lot to express the personalities of my characters as well, that makes them more easy to remember and recognize.
