Description I think I'm done - Unless any of you have anything to add. I might add some stuff in the BG as a low contrast design or something.

I grew up with the film "The Humpbacked Horse" which came out around the 1980's, and I always loved it.

Ah, I remember seeing this when I was little! Although, it's called The Magic Pony (at least the newer name is, I guess). I was fascinated with the firebirds and those gorgeous horses. If I remember right, he had to feed them a nectar grain in order to capture them? It's been so long. This looks fantastic!

It looks like an illustration for the original poem, not a fanart for the film.

Wait, sooooooo I'm confused - It is, but my interest was sparked by the animation when I was younger.Β

Ive never heard of The Humpbacked Horse. This, however, reminds me bit of a Russian folktale about the Tsar and the Firebird.

That's the translation of the movie title, but that's what it's base don. The tale seems to have a lot of different names, but the story doesn't appear to change much.

Did the humpbacked horse have a movie called Zip the magic pony? Cause I had this film when I was little and loved it.

Yes, that's it exactly C: It's logged under a few different names for some reason, but I knew it as Zip too.

Someone who knows him! Nice! Him and the other famous guy whose name escapes me. He did amazing paintings of the fork in the road and the brothers traveling, but hells if I can't remember his name.

Needless to say, I got schooled, his art is still leagues ahead of mine CX

I loved that movie!! They renamed the movie to "The Magic Pony" though. So awesome none the less. I loved the black horses with the golden manes. Could you do an image of those with Ivan too?!! 8D

Shapooda In reply to CreatureCreatingBabe [2014-01-21 16:50:03 +0000 UTC]

I put it down as The Humpbacked Horse cause when you search the magic pony it doesn't really come up now that MLP is on the loose lol

And I agree, those black horses and those golden manes were simply gorgeous. When I come up with an adequate idea you can bet I'll give it a shot X3

CreatureCreatingBabe In reply to Shapooda [2014-01-24 07:48:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, understandable. I was unable to find it myself until I looked up the Humpbacked Horse.

I was hoping to find it on DVD cause I have it on VHS, but not much luck. ):

AWESOME!! can't wait to see! I think it would be absolutely amazing if you did.
