Description I darkened your door and your days. You said you couldn't sleep the night with the sound of the sea hard on my heels, climbing the stairs to your bed. You promised me gloves from the skins of the fishes, the smile of a dolphin for a ring in my hand, but you left me with nothing but a mouth full of air and promises wide as the ocean.

-You brought me up, written by Louis de Paor

I WON!!! Thank God - now to make a ref LOL

Added the pupils. Originally I couldn't see the breedsheet, it gave me a 404 error like it had been deleted, so I made my entry, but then I found it and fixed this ^^

My bid for the lovely #7 There are art auctions and raffles going on right now


I am so hopeful to take this majestic creature home, I have definitely admired the breed for a long time and she is stunning ^^ I worked so hard on this too It's supposed to be by the forest at USV - can you tell or is it a complete fail?
Time Taken: 3-4 hours (straight )
Used: Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 (I actually checked what model I have for the first time in like forever trololol XD)
Layers: You mean you expected me to count them all? Ok, it wasn't that bad, I give you this: a lot.
Horse was one of my very new grayscales ^^ and all glory to God, I am soooo happy with the shading I feel like it is a personal victory - kind of a goal reached ^^ I know it's not perfect, but mah horsies be getting more realistic!

Her infos if I win her ^^
Name: Nyneve (means "the Lady of the Lake")
Gender: Mare
Breed: Icogan Warmblood
Color: Seal Bay - Water
Age: 3
Height: 1.74
Personality:
She loooooves her spotlight. Kids don't have to run up to give her attention - she'll run to them. She's sticking her nose wherever she can fit it. She is one of those horses that is extremely calm in most situations, and she gets along beautifully with other people and other horses. She's quick to let herself trust you and forgives quickly. And like that irritating best friend, sometimes her positivity can be just annoying - you could be mad and just want to stay mad but she not only sees the silver lining on everything, she tends to be the silver lining, and will make you happy - or try to - whether you like it or not. She is a prankster and has bad habits of pulling jokes and getting goofy when you least expect it. She's the class clown and she loves it. Other horses sometimes whinny when she's approaching because they're just plain glad to see her. Her favorite treat is pears and she will eat them whole, though she thinks she can eat anything. Many an apple or sandwich left unattended has vanished "mysteriously" when she's around. You do NOT want to keep treats for this horse in your back pockets - she will figure it out, and next thing you know she's biting your butt trying to get at them. She is extremely intelligent (though some might doubt this when they see how goofy she can get, but we know she's just having fun XD) and can unlatch stall doors and even open kitchen doors, but amazingly she does not know how to undo knots, in spite of the fact that she's tried, so to keep her contained when she's in a paddock or something with a gate is we tie it with a rope instead of just latching it and then she has to stay put whether she likes it or not. Don't let her get lonely, because she will let you know - first she will begin to paw. Then she will began to stamp and shift. And finally she will serenade you with many whinnies to get your attention, and if that doesn't work, she will squeal like she's being murdered - and then prick her ears and nose around for treats when you stamped into the stable in a wild panic thinking something's happened to her.
History:
Her soul is free and fiery. Her story is yet to be written. Her journey began at USV, where she received her first bits of training, and where she first began to make a splash in the equine community. At such a young age, and having just come to her new home (I'm pretending I have her since LOL this is supposed to be if I win haha), without even being trained in an official discipline yet, her destiny is still to come.
A single emote that best describes this horse:
Favorite Song: You Brought Me Up
Favorite Place: A pond. On the beach. In the Rain. Really heavy rain XD
Worst Fear: the Dark
Future Disciplines: Halter, Liberty, Show Jumping/Eventing
Rider/trainer at SRS: Nonis Caelum

Ah yes, this was my favourite design out of the batch.
IΒ΄m an official Ico designer myself, and I still need to draw my red boy.

The colors you used are absolutely stunning I lov the refection you added to the trees and how the lighting you used shows off the amazing bark The mane looks like a wild ocean; I like the way it ripples and how the colors blend The pose is very dynamic and adds to the wild look of this peice The blue stars look much better than whit ones since the white would add too much of a contrast and be distracting. I also like the way you did that amazing moon! The ripples in the water adds great movement and looks great with that pose


Good luck; hope you get this beautiful mare Β
