Description

This was a commission for edelilah of her and her friend SA1B0T 's beautiful Minkin characters named Evening and Umbra. Evening is the sickle-horn and Umbra is the crystal-horn. Evening has the rare ability to control a starry mist, and so she is showing it to Umbra (much to her apparent delight).

I took on this commission because not only are Minkins gorgeous, but I wanted to do another high detail, full-scale piece. The last one I had completed was Quiet Strength, which was over a year ago. I really have taken a liking to this species and these characters. They are sparkly little deer creatures, but when I envisioned them in my head I kept thinking of a mix of calf/lamb/foal/fawn anatomy. I tried to incorporate those different animals' aspects into their build, while sticking true to the original design of the species. This picture took a very long time for me to get through due to a lot, and I mean a LOT, of meaningful life events that transpired after I had taken the commission on.

When I first accepted this commission about 5 months ago, Coonkun and I were just dating, I was still working at the exotic clinic, I was still living in Monroe with my parents, I was wondering if my snake was gravid at all, and I had no idea what my future held.

Now, Coony and I are engaged, I quit my stressful, time consuming job, we moved into a little house in Tacoma, Scully had 18 babies, we planned out 80% of the wedding, and we even have a little bundle of furry joy on the way! I'M PREGNANT!!!

JK we're getting a dog though.

In all seriousness, I have been extremely busy these past months, and through it all was this picture. I was determined to finish it though, and I had a lot of fun with this piece. I am eternally grateful for edelilah 's understanding throughout all of the delays. Usually an artist can anticipate a little life slowing them down every once in a while when it comes to their artwork, but I was entirely caught off guard by just how MUCH life decided to happen to me all at once! Anyway, I'm glad that I was finally able to finish it, and I hope ya'll enjoy this because I am taking a break from full scale pieces for a while!
