Description
Artwork from a piece for the SQP publications book "Sword Song". Pencil on paper and then painted in photoshop. Originally a bit over 5000 x 4500 pixels, total of about a week to paint. I'm not real fast... I like my details too much! Had a lot of fun painting the horse though... thinking of doing another sometime soon.Related content

I definitely know I'm getting old when my first reaction is "Sunlight metal against bare unpadded skin? Ow ow ow ow ow!
Also? Saddlesores.
Coffee. Maybe I just need more coffee.

You'll be pleased to know that after half an hour in the saddle she went home and changed into some sensible tracksuit pants, slippers and a bunny hat and vowed that, no matter what the latest fantasy fashions were, she was going to go the comfortable option
And coffee is always good!

Its pretty old by now and has been gathering cobwebs up the back of my dA gallery.

I always wondered what the netspiders in the original movie Tron were up to - they were creating cobwebs for old computer files.

Amazing! Its a really cool painting! I don't know why but it reminds me of J.C Leyendecker. Really great work!

Flattery indeed! Huge Leyendecker fan - he had such a great sense of style and design, down to his distinctive brush strokes. Time to crack open my Leyendecker books again, me thinks!

Was just looking at the original file the other day and lamenting how a lot of the detail was lost making it smaller for dA.
Glad you like - and thanks for the fave.
