Description
The first installment in a series of four Premium pieces ordered by ,author of The Glister Journals series. The artwork is done as promotional work for her series~!
The author wanted each piece to include one of the four main human characters, along with their animal companions. The book's plot centers on four young adults and how their relationships with their horses help them grow and connect to new people. I got to read Bronze, the first book in the series, a few months ago before it was published!
It was VERY good,and I suggest you all go check it out! [link] Keep a lookout in following weeks for the next three pieces! Each of them were finished several months ago, but are being released now to celebrate the official release of the first book of the series!
Illustration belongs to me.
Characters belong to B.B. Shepherd, author, The Glister Journals.

Ooh, I see you played with a canvas texture in this one! I love seeing little things that change in your work from piece to piece. I really love the horse's mane and ear in this one - those lines look like parts of a contour map! Very cool aesthetic.

I love the colors. A lot of bright, flowery landscapes I have seen lately are too loud and obnoxious but this is perfect. The girl's hair and the horse's mane are great.
Also, thanks for introducing me to the Glister Journals! I can never read too many pony books.

OH YES, I so enjoyed the first book, eagerly awaiting the second! If you love horses and riding, you'll probably love these books, too!

Oh wow, I know i say this every time I look at your work, but this is so pretty! You manage to somehow merge some sort of magical work with the real one. This piece has such a quiet happy feel to it, not to mention a golden glow, it makes me happy to look at it!

So beautiful! I love the horse especially. The swirls and patterns you integrate into your work -- as well as the vivid, bright colors c: -- are just stunning.
One day, I really need to get you to draw Dusty, also.

Thank you so much!
I love how you always pick up on all the tiny, less important details in my work, and appreciate them! Thank you~!!
I would be honored to draw your Dusty for you one day! I've seen pictures of that ridiculously handsome horse!

Aww, you're welcome!
I'd hardly say your art has "less important" details. You make everything stand out in a subtle way that just... I don't know, it just complements everything. (Failure at explaining things FTW)
My boy is one sexy devil, is he not?
