Description Here's the finished sword song piece with background. Fixed the ratio between the rider and the horse for this one! Unfortunately the page dimensions meant I had to crop the horse, still I was happy with the circular motif around her face. pencil sketch, painted in photoshop, about a week.

This ornament is self-made or some clipart pack?
Great drawing in any case.

! Thanks man! It was my first real go at painting a horse - mostly happy with the result, but want to try another one some day. Just add that to my never ending list of stuff I want to do I suppose !

I saw a little Leyendecker in there....I've been a big fan of his work for man....15 years now...were does the time go.

he's finally got that nice art book out...but I've been collecting his post covers and old ads for coffee etc. for years.

Loopydave In reply to Blasterkid [2009-07-16 10:52:06 +0000 UTC]

I discovered Leyendecker about the same time! Got my hands on the 1974 book of his stuff on ebay some time back, and the 1996 poster book, but you just cant find his covers or ads over here in Australia. The new book is SWEET though! And yes, LOVE his stuff.

no problem...watch out they can get expensive for certain ones and also depending on the quality...I've gotten pretty down and dirty on a few I really wanted and dropped if I remember correctly...around $89.00 for one before....most you can get for between $15-60...

hope that helps...good luck!

whatever the reason, I'm sorry about the tail... other than that, great one...

Loopydave In reply to emoshus [2009-06-10 12:33:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah, it was a pity to lose the tail, but its a good lesson to measure up your format BEFORE you do your painting !

Loopydave In reply to KreepingSpawn [2009-04-11 01:44:25 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I really should have worked out the proportions properly when I was penciling the illustration. Oh well, we live and learn - or at least I hope I'm doing both!

This is off the chain... you're sh!tz bro. You draw stuff I don't even like, and would never draw myself... and make me like it! And wish I would've drawn it!!

"I wish I could draw a horses ass like that... did I just say that?!?"

Man... that's always been the sign of a good artist to me (or what I shoot for I guess). To be able to draw anything and make it fly. You sir... have that. Keep your foot in Art's ass...
