Description Sigh.. and here it is, Kalari's death, from the book Silver Brumbies of the South.. I think it displays the deep affection Storm had for this particular mare. When she was badly lamed he stayed with her, even when she refused to leave the Cascades valley where she was born so she could die in her homeland.. he wouldn't leave her despite the heavy snowfall and even sent the rest of his herd to better ground without him. She died soon after Thowra came to find them

Wow, I'm on a SB roll here. But no worries, I've finished some more sketches of my tiger characters. They should be coloured and up soon enough

I love how you have made them a little scruffier around the edges because of their winter coat. It's a really great effect

Why thank you! <3
Oh they're wonderful books, at least up to a point. I'm not overly fond of later books in the series, but the earlier ones were fantastic!

You've inspired me to read 'Silver Brumbies of the South' again. I havn't read it for a few years now. I seem to have forgotten what a wonderful story it is. You can really see Storm's pain here. Well done on another great peice of SB fanart!

I... just ink over my sketches with a size 4 or 5 paintbrush in Photoshop. Nothing special or fancy to it
