Description
This is 's request. She was the first to correctly guess the breed of horse in my last deviation [link](It was a clydesdale, or at leat my attempt at one
She requested that I draw a black horse, with black wings, against a starry night background.
The colouring is rather sloppy because I got lazy and it was 40 degrees today! (Yes, I am going to use that as an excuse for my bad colouring, just humour me please!
Whoa really bad proportions on this horse. I didn't fully realise until I started colouring D:
Anyway, I hope you like it !

Aw this is brilliant! I love shading black, and you did an amazing job, highlights look so natural.
Do you remember a while ago you were saying you were miffed your drawings didn't have much variation with poses? well I think you've really outdone yourself recently! They are getting so varied and challenging, and you're improving so much all the time ! :3

Thank you so much! I'm trying to look for new poses and expression and try them out. Coluring Black is hard, but it was easier this time around, probably because I also used grey in my colouring

I love colouring black, and I really don't know why
I want to experiment more with blacks with other colours as highlights, just for fun you know?
And you're welcome

This is beautiful, I love the darkness! The proportions are off, but it looks very intentional and beautifully stylized. The wings are amazing.

Thank you! I was worried about having a dark background against the dark horse, but I think it worked out alright. I'm slowly beginning to enjoying colouring wings, even though they take ages

Was the starry night background based after the actual painting (Starry Night) by van Gough? Kinda looks like it
Most importantly, that's beautiful, like always Awesome job!

Actually it wasn't--I was too lazy to add clouds, so I added patches of dark and light lol. I kinda see what you mean though

Messed up proportions or not, I think this is super awesome! Again, I love the way you shade your horses and I also love the way you did the wings. I shall name him Midnight (lol, not very creative is it?).

Wow, this is truly beautiful! I actually even didn't notice there was nothing wrong with proportions until I read you artist's comment! I was so dazzled about that coloring! I love the way you have shaded that black and blue aura around the horse brings it beautifully out.

Leafsong In reply to Agaave [2009-01-28 19:21:26 +0000 UTC]
Aw, thank you so much I felt that the horse would be lost against the dark sky and so decided to add the blue aura (you can see where I decided suddenly--at the top of the wing
)

Agaave In reply to Leafsong [2009-01-30 07:11:01 +0000 UTC]
You're welcome!
Didn't notice that aura suddenly ending so I it isn't that glaring.

It's so annoying isn't it? Stupid proportions!
I was very lazy. I was meaning to add clouds in the background, but kind of went "Oh screw it, it's too hot to focus--I'll just add some dark and light parts"
