Description ... don't wait for a thing,

there is nothing left here for you.

but if you stay,

well then let me say

I will go out of my way for you.




I needed something to write in the comments, so have some lyrics! Stephen Fretwell's 'Run' -- or the Gavin and Stacey song! One of my favourite shows of all time! lol! Anyway!


LOOK WHO'S BEING PULLED OUT OF THE SHADOWS! IT'S MY BABY! It's Jacky Boy! I've been dying to get him back into the game so HERE HE IS! This is Jack and Brigade training in Endurance with Malachi and Grace, because Mal's takin' them both to The-White-December . I realised Mal seems to have no stories of his own. He's always the background guy heckling the main character xD So he's taking the Swedes to the North! WOOO! Let's wish them luck and hope they don't freeze to death. 


Jack came out looking a bit too delicate. I think it might have been my failed attempt at foreshortening that's to blame xD His head shape is more accurate here than it is in his reference though... which isn't exactly a good thing but YAY! lol! Brigade's boppin' along behind, all 17 hands of her with all 6'2 of Grace with her. They're the perfect gigantic couple! Make everyone else look tiny.

OOOh, the prettiness

The trees and the snow and the WINTER I know it's not the focus, but I adore this background so much!

I love this - and the movement you've captured in the horses and riders is lovely. Especially with Jack's (OMG, JACK! Nice to see him!) little head tilt and Brigade really leaning into the bend there. With Jack, his pose really reminds me of that split second you sometimes see in horses when you open them up on a flat field - I don't know if you'll know what I mean - there's a second when they're cantering along, and you give them just a little inch of rein, and it hits them that there's no walls and they can go for it, and I've seen them just arch up their necks and almost skip a beat before just launching away. Jack totally reminds me of that single moment in this.

Anyway, enough of me carrying on. The last thing I must applaud you for is Jack's saddle pad. I completely approve of the colour I think the only tiny bit missing is a couple of puffs of beath from their noses, given they're breathing in cold air, but I loves it anyway ^^

Thank you! I'd forgotten how much I love doing winter scenes. They're so much easier than grassy green things. 


YES! BABY'S BACK!!! And I know exactly what you mean with that moment. Reading your description made me smile from ear to ear, because that's exactly it! It's that moment when the world freezes and all that exists is your horse. Absolutely amazing. I miss riding T-T


-dead- I KNEW I forgot something! Oh well xD I'll keep it in mind for next time!

Yeah, I love snow scenes, too. I haven't had nearly the time to do them this year so far - hopefully I can cram a couple in before Spring comes...

And I'm so glad that made sense! Even better that it made you smile, too It does make you miss riding just to think about it, though ^^

Haha, no worries; I frequently forget things like that when I post stuff

Wooh! Looking forward to seeing some of Mal on his own. Perhaps he won't be quite so crabby with no one to heckle.

Lol! OR maybe he'll meet up with a fellow heckler and they'll become like Statler and Waldorf >D Won't that be fun?! -dies-

Jaaaack Ooh, I really like this! And it'll be awesome to see more of Mal! I love the colour of Jack's saddle pad. It really suits him.

We must think more exaggerated style and less perfect anatomy, right? :2
