Description So, I have had this little sequence of six pictures that tells a little story for years now. I found that I had an opportunity to work on fixing up the sketches during my breaks at work, so I have been actually finishing them. And, since I have been doing that, I wanted to do them in color on the computer too, so here is scene 1, the Rendezvous. I also had wanted to finish the second for an emotion contest the ~Unicorn-Club was holding. I have unfortunately wasted my day finishing the first, and so, the second can not be in the contest unless I submitted it as a pencil sketch. Maybe I'll submit this one instead, if they'll still accept one.

Anyway, the Rendezvous depicts a meeting between a pegasus stallion (whom I named Iramus long ago), and a unicorn mare (named DeCelle). They have met before this event, and they are quite taken with each other despite the gap between their species. The story kind of stemmed from a series of scratch boards I did in high school, in which the first scratchboard depicted a fight between a pegasus and a unicorn. Needless to say, the two species do not get along, and pegasi are looked down upon by the unicorns. You can see what happens (if you are not one of the people who has already seen the sequence-namely friends and family if they remember them) when I put up the rest. Shouldn't be too long. (yes ~dhqx I am still working on that kirban, if you were wondering)

Yes, I got lazy with the background and didn't do as good of a job on the tree trunks. At least it has a background, eh?

Iramus and DeCelle are copywrite to me! Mwahahaha

Amazing and so beautiful They remind me of arabians (I love them), especially the uni ^.^
Heheh I made a similar peace(well the theme anyway-forbidden love thing) about a week ago. I have to finish the darn background D:
But I like this much beater. Much more realistic. And the sky is awesome. I'll be sure to link mine to yours once I upload it ^.^

might take me a while to finish the novels. the smaller stories arent going to be pubished as they are just for my silly wee characters.

shayhalen In reply to moonfeather [2007-09-11 20:09:15 +0000 UTC]

I know how that goes, but as far as the smaller stories go, you could always do a collection of short stories and publish them like that, for the great enjoyment of those who get to know your work through your novels.

Really nice! I love how contrasting the two horses are. The unicorn is especially beautiful, and her pose is VERY realistic, and also lovely.

Thanks, I was quite happy with how she turned out, and when Photoshop crashed in the middle of my working on it, I was soooo glad I had saved it after finishing her. I feared I would have to do her all over again and it would look terrible.

Yes I remember this sequence now. I wasn't quite sure when we were talking the other day. And oh my, I'm shocked you did a lazy job on the background... if you're not careful you may become as lazy as me! None! But I'm trying to follow your example and get a couple of 'grounds up as well.

Thanks, but oh, it was such a pain in the patella to do! The black kept on trying to do aweful color bloopers, and Ugh!!!! I have five more to go!!! I'm gonna die. And look, I didn't do all black lines again! Yay!

dhqx [2006-04-02 06:51:05 +0000 UTC]

Yes I remember the painting of them -I shan't spoil anything for anyone by mentioning what's in the painting...
Iramus, particularly looks pretty cute as horses go (uh, cute to other horses, that is, but cool to me ) I like how their holding their tails up- it reminds me of Arabians, who also hold their tails up...
nice and I shall be awaiting my kiriban

shayhalen In reply to dhqx [2006-04-02 07:55:17 +0000 UTC]

Painting? I don't have a painting of them. Maybe you are thinking of the two unicorns painting (one black with white legs and mane, the other white)? Either that, or I have a major brain fart. I'm pretty sure you've seen the sequence though, it was in my binder).

Thank you, your going to make Iramus blush in a horsey way. And yeah, had to do tails up, they are mostly based off of Arabians after all. My Favorite breed!!

Your kiriban is chewing on my head, so I should go attack it for such insolence! Maybe submitting to completion will do it some good in the manners department.

dhqx In reply to shayhalen [2006-04-03 05:15:38 +0000 UTC]

dang, that's right I was thinking of the painting... and since I don't remember anything else like this, I guess I'm just as clueless as everyone else
ha ha I'm sure it is chewing on you, but it will be really amazing when you finish it

shayhalen In reply to dhqx [2006-04-10 02:07:11 +0000 UTC]

I guess there was just too much in the binders to remember it all, besides, it didn't have bishounens or even people in it, so why would you have paid more attention to it, eh?

Kiriban is still chewing on me, and I'm approaching 1000 pageviews now, and that means another kiriban. I may have to spend most of my week finishing yours so that I am prepared for the next potential one (assuming someone gets it).
