Description

 

T.WD Tracker 2017-18

Rider: Josef Saunders  (26 y.o.) 
Horse: w.YKR Zyrah  (6 y.o.)
Stable & Country: w.hy K.not R.anch    

 Previous: TWD | Wanderer | Phase Two


 Phase three - GEIRANGER - NATTVIK 

 Distance: 250 km.
 Weather forecast: 
The final stretch is near! However it is not going to be an easy one. Throughout the entire race snow has been piling up. At Hjerkinn you will start notice just how deep it can get. At places as much as 4 meter of snow cover the ground. You may chose to follow the car road for shorter distances, but it will be a gamble if it is of any advantage in making up for lost time. It will not be falling any snow, but there will be a lot if strong winds causing blizzards and the closer you get to Nattvik, the closer to -30 it will get.

 Entry Picture: 
Keep the information and references in mind, what tactic will your entrant chose? Are they handling the cold? The blizzards that can appear out of nowhere?


Decided to do a little bit of a different take / perspective change for the final phase. 
Ahhhh I am so glad to have gotten this eek-ed out in the niche of time oh goshhh I never want to procrastinate again!   //Continues to procrastinate anyways without a doubt smh.//
I would love to do extras or at least one extra assignment before next Thursday, but we will have to see.
Also let's pretend Zyrah's back legs and neck don't exist because looking at them has me all sorts of YIKES. The rider on the ref seemed to be a pretty petite-ish woman (5'3" - 5'8" at the most?) and Josef being a taller guy--uh-- I had a difficult time trying to not make him look like a small bean, but it still posed challenges because of the angle.
curse you Jojo and your stupid 185 cm chad height! B-(

" The cold never bothered me Zyrah anyways ~    "
Despite being a "thin-skinned"/petite etc." Akhal Teke running with a bunch of big furry big boys out there (Zledders, Obers, Snow horses, etc.) she is quite determined to show up the big guys and make her presence...obnoxiously known.   
but I still love her okay, sheza' beast.

Josef casually holding on, eyeballing the four legged bae like
"Is screaming at the snow really going to do anything?" 
Zyrah: //COMMENCES BATTLE T-REX SCREAM// 
"Well alright then."

I am stupidly proud of my babes, for kind of making it through another season of TWD.
//ALL THE MUN FEELS

Oh my goooodddd this pose is so DRAMATIC and awesome!   Just WOW! I absolutely adore that you were bold enough to attempt this angle, because I CANNOT imagine it was easy... and yet it looks absolutely smashing; you absolutely nailed it!
Jojo boi does not look small at all, I think you got the size/perspective just right... and speaking of Jojo boi, wow, that intense expression on him looks like he belongs on a poster for a high-budget action movie, because dayyuuummmm   He is... sexylooking ~

Super super amazing work on this; it is too awesome and badass for words! AND CONGRATS ON COMPLETING TWD, WOOO

Ahh thank you so much Zoub!
I am so glad it turned out well I was kind of scared and started to doubt myself halfway through but I am glad I fought through! I wanted to make something more interesting and dynamic for the last phase of this year's trail at least.
It had a lot of its challenges admittedly since perspective shots are not exactly my forte but I am glad I fought through. <33 
Aww, you flatter him and me too much!! I am so glad I made them look just a little bit epic c;
I never realized how difficult it was to size a rider to the horse at times, especially if the rider is over 6 ft tall and leggy, lol! 
FDGfdg- you are going to make Dosey Joe blush and fangirl with your compliments! QQ  
gotta look good for our viewing pleasure of course #OCmomRequirements ~ c;

Thank you so much again!! I am so happy to be able to complete this on my own for this year!!
just wish I was able to draw more stuff for this year's event since it seemed a little quiet.

Thank you again for encouraging me and keeping me company and just being a hecka of an awesome gal while I complained and made it through all my pieces !!
You are making me blush sfdgdfg- your words just honestly make me the happiest of jellyfishes okay- ilu <3

Zyrah is the bitchiest best gal, she isn't going to let breed standards stop her ~

I hope they make it through...

Thanks Opal!  
Aww, you are making me blush hehe thanks so much for your kind words! And ehh I'm still a tad iffy about them- legs are so hard, let alone from a weird dynamic perspective! 
Oh yes, she is making darn sure to let that snow know what's up, how dare it be
cold and exist!
