Description Honorable Mention prize for *life-d-sign for her entry on my contest that ended more than a year ago... I really feel terrible...

She asked for a drawing of her gorgeous stallion Loan.
Her characters are always so great, I simply love them.

I started out drawing his banned unicorn form, but his mane/tail were too long, so I decided it was best to portray his unicorn form.

I had a lot of fun drawing this one. The mane was fun to shade and I really like his head for some reason.

I hope you like it Sign! And again, I'm terribly sorry for the long wait.

Wow, he's gorgeous! I love how you did his mane and tail especially. Pose is very nice, too...he looks all soft and silky and pettable.

The mane and tail were fun to draw XD I love long, silky manes, but it seems Loan doesn't
Thank you, Cloud!

Long silky manes are freaking awesome. I always have a bit of a sadface when I see horses with short manes and tails.

PolarisAstrum In reply to Cloudrunner64 [2010-08-18 13:03:43 +0000 UTC]

Same here. I just love long manes and tails. But there are some breeds that don't look good with long manes though :\

Wowww Loan looks so exquisite. The shading is great and I love the blue shadow! You really did a phenomenal job on that white mane and tail too.

Shading white can be tricky, I think it looks a little too silverish, but I like the way it looks.
Thank you!

OMG it was worth EVERY MINUTE of the wait!!!

Its so beautiful and it portraits him so well. Thank you soooooo much. And don't feel sorry anymore. I know how it is to have no time and no muse for drawing the things that you somehow *should* draw


THANK YOU!!!

Floofy tail!!! Haha.

Love the blue in the shading on his coat. I like those blue ribbony looking things too. The background is nice---I like how the upper part of the bg and the shadow fade downward.
