Description
A very overdue prize for Elandria of her two ponies Melaina and Fabio .I borrowed Lanny's style for drawing manes and tails for this a bit, because it's just too damn pretty. Look at those refs I linked... I mean. Sodamnpretty.
This is another work that has been in the making for a loooong time. Unfortunately, lack of time combined with a complete lack of inspiration for drawing serious things that lasted a ridiculous amount of time as well, made it so that this took over a year to be finished.
Traditional base + digital colouring is my best friend right now, it's hard to sit down and do pure trad art pieces for me nowadays. Which is very unfortunate, since it's where my true passion lies, but at least I can still keep producing artwork, and learning new techniques.
I hope it was worth the wait though, Lanny! Even with all the issues, I had a blast drawing these two for you
Hope you like it!Fabio and Melaina are © to Elandria .

I really like the mix of pen and digital you've pulled off! It gives the piece almost a dreamy sketch book quality, or illustrator quality. My favourite part is the fading mountains in the background.

Happy you like the clouds, they were my biggest worry, but I think they didn't turn out too bad considering they're not the type of thing I'm used to doing when crosshatching
