Description Look into their eyes, tell me, what do you see?
A dark Past? A joyful Present? And an unknown or even mysterious Future?
Or maybe that darkness will come in the days that are to come and the mystery resides in your head now?
Who knows what is to happen? And do you really know what you are doing?
And perhaps, the most important of all: do you have full knowledge of the events of your Past?

I HATE YOU SCANNER!
But you already know that, don't you?

This one came out of nothing, I had no ideas, no specific inspiration, nothing, it just came to be. I started out by sketching the head of the palomino paint stallion, then the dappled and then the chestnut(they're all stallions). Then I sketched the background and decided what colors I wanted for the horses. I then thought that it'd look pretty if I made their eyes contrast with their coat colors and I wanted unusual colors for them.
It was only after I finished their eyes that I saw a relation to Future, Present and Past, but I guess the connection between the eyes and Time is subjective.

And I'm officially in love with the chestnut stallion, the combination of violet with red looks so pretty ^^

I don't know but I might turn the chestnut into a character, I love him far too much to be just a random horse I drew someday because I was bored on English class

To me, they mean a violet future, a red/orange present and a dark purple/blue past but I'd like to know what are their meanings to you guys too.

I like it, and it represents one of your best pieces. I see a gray and shadowed past of memory and things forgotten, a bright and clear present, and a future that may or may not be wreathed in fire and flame.

The first head seems oddly shaped, but you did awesome! All three of them look incredible! I do love the purple marks on the chestnut's forehead, and his eyes. This is just a beautiful piece!

I think it looks a bit pony-ish actually.

Thank you so much!

It could. Personally, I don't know enough to answer that. Oh, well. Live and learn and keep on drawing, right?

This is so beautiful! I love their colors! They're all so handsome but I think the dapple grey is my fave! I think their colors may tell about their past, present and futures. Certain colors may represent certain feelings or memories they have.

PolarisAstrum In reply to crazedjacksparrowfan [2007-12-17 16:05:08 +0000 UTC]

Yup, the coat colors can also mean something and bot just the eyes, good interpretation. Thank you!

I am captivated by the chestnut! He looks gorgeous, and I agree with you about the combination of violet and red. I just think his ears look a little too close together.

Beautiful, beautiful Love the three of them, and their colors and the contrast are just amazing Past seem to have quite an interesting journey, I'll give an example to let you know how I see the three of them, or better how I interpret them The past seem to fall in love and have an alertness and rather a hopeful expression, wanting to have a beautiful love to last. Then the present, seems that love wasn't what was expected and failed. The future, seems to be positive, and thinks that another love will come along and he should never give up. I hope I had a good interpretation I just love every piece youare doing. hurray for you
