Description Okay, sounds like a freaking holiday resort ad tagline. But here's a special present for one of the best dA friends ever :3

*ox-of-ice was one of the first people to actually welcome me to dA back in '03 and talk to me, and is who I consider my first real dA friend. Throughout these two years we've remained in touch and I've been lucky enough to see her find her style and subject of choice, and watch her art develop into mindblowingly wonderful work
And even though now her talent is being recognised and she is famous and successful and earning mucho respect she's still my wacky crazy fun sweet buddy who BOUGHT ME A SUBSCRIPTION. So. Here's my thank you, Oxeh. for everything. :3

Her horsie characters were so awesome I had to draw them all. Ecume I've wanted to draw forever, Caline is just gorgeous, and Pagan is so friggishly kickass and nobody is drawing him D: so I thought he deserved some love too. And since I cannot draw wondrously detailed realistic amazing equids like teh Ox, I decided to draw them in my newly revamped toon horse style (I was hearing too many comments that went "OMGSPIRITSTYLE ;O;!!!!11!!1!" ...-_-;; ). Enjoy.. I really enjoyed painting these.

Ecume, Caline and Pagan ©  ((whose gallery you should be avidly perusing.))

YOU NEED TO POST MORE. xD

Thank you muchly! Ecume is such a gorgeously cool character I felt like I had to do him justice :B And I'd seen people do 'block-character' drawings/photo arrangements before and it always looks so professional and lovely, so I wanted to give that a shot too

LMAO

Yeah, he is, isn't he? Hopefully for Christmas I'll get (or get the money for) that amazingly-awesome Intuos tablet. My dad offered to pay for half of it, which leaves me to pay the remaining balance of....$230!!!! Once I do get it, maybe my art will be 1/1,000,000,000 as professionally-cool as your art is xD
