Description



Yay! The first bunch are ready to go!

So...I don't have time for this, really, but the idea seized me (it started off as something else, believe it or not) and then just snowballed. So now, the plan is to draw all 25 odd of my horses in this funny little Toon style and put them into a huge lineup.

The Lakewood Lineup is something I've wanted to do for such a long time, but either I haven't had any time at all, or no muse for it, or the sketches just never came out right. When I started experimenting with these, it sort of fell into place, so i'm going with it.

Batch one is all my Faimes.

I'e still got Warmbloods, Arabians, Timekins and a 'Misc' category to go

Everyone is depicted fully grown, regardless of their current ages, because I have plans for this...I've just got to puzzle that out when I get there ^^.

So, left to right:

#235 Lakewood's Kaloua - Lou was a bought geno a while back. She has a miniXpony parentage, so she's a little more refined and big enough to ride.
#1015 Lakewood's Divinity - Bird was a Lakewood arranged breeding at the end of last year. She's a Tulli with a draft mother and sport father.
#580 Lakewood's Frosted Rose - Frosty was a gift from another stable who were closing down. Not my usual preference, but I loved her anyway.
#356 Lakewood's Celtic Lullaby - Celta was won at a wild auction early last year, full grown. She's the fiesty mini (Lou is the sweet one and Nemo is pure mischief).
#665 Lakewood's Winterfell - Winter was bought from another stable and aged up. Mainly draft, but there is sport blood in her ancestry.
#1102 Lakewood's Gold Dust - Nemo is perhaps the longest planned foal. A Lakewood arranged breeding and a homozygous Chipmunk stallion.
#1198 Lakewood's Oceana - Kairi was a Lakewood arranged breeding this year, but aged up. She's a bio lumino and her design took me the longest to settle on.
#1066 WT Long Way Home - Fleecy was a Lakewood arranged breeding at the end of last year. He's a peacock who was easy to design but difficult to name.

...and then there's Exy, Freya's liver merle Border Collie, too. Since Freya bought Fleecy, the pair of them have become friends (though it took some time).

I'm on a bit of a roll at the minute, but no real idea when the next lot will be out. Life is still manic off of dA, though I'm doing my best to get back into art and RP.

Enjoy!

As for the art...each one of them took 2-3 hours-ish each, I think? Fleecy was first, and he took a lot longer as I was working out the style and how I wanted to do it. Sketching them was pretty easy, as was lining them. The toon style is simplified, so there's far less detail than my usual, though they are all greyscale shaded, and the shading isn't too simplified. The three minis were quicker in general XD And while stylised, they are all intended to resemble themselves.

Lou is more delicately built than Celta or Nemo. Celta is smallest. Bird has her feathers, Frosty is plaited up as usual (her mane is in something called a Rosette plait, I did not make it up) and Kairi has her wavy mane and tail. It was actually a lot of fun

Time overall...heck knows. I've been doing mostly this for the past few days.

Thank you! I had so much fun doing this (then life got in the way and it's taking me months to get all the Arabians done ) but I do love the style of it, too

And you're not the only one taken with Frosty and Winter ^^ I got really lucky with those two

Give me a minute while I just completely fan-girl over this picture!   I love this so much.
         
I adore the lineup idea.  And you've done a beautiful job capturing each of their builds and personalities in one casual picture (and shout-out to Exy for geting into the picture with Fleecy).   I love the soft shading.

Okay, I just love everything about this... the horses, the snippets of info on each of them, that pretty background and Exy's cameo.  I know that this was a bit of a labor of love for you (time wise) - but I can't wait to see you do this with the rest of Lakewood's residents.

Thank you so much!

The lineup idea has been a long-shelved one, and I'm really glad things fell into place with this attempt. That's one of the things I really love about playing with styles - being able to capture an individual character even if the way of drawing is vastly different. And yes, I do adore Exy, and I can imagine she likes spending time in the field with Fleecy

Honestly, I have no end of respect for your cel-shading, because I just can't do it. If I start to shade, things just go overboard and then I'm soft shading anyway XD All these guys are greyscaled, which helps me give them some consistency, I think (though my greyscales always tend to look better on chestnuts and bays (I've done Matches for the Arabian bunch and I just think his copper coat looks stunning).

Its definitely time consuming, but well worth it, I think. I've wanted to do one for so long and I love this style. I'm so glad you like it - snippets and Exy included And who knows, if I could just find myself some more free time, maybe I'll be able to do the farmyard bunch, too

Thank you so much! Yeah, I adore the minis, and they're all so different, which is more fun

As for how I draw them... I wasn't sure I did them in any particular way, but I'm glad you like them anyway

I love this so much!!! You've got a lovely collection of Faimés, that's for sure. This style is so sweet, simple yet very much recognisable as yours. (I think it's the eyes!) It's really interesting to see the size differences - especially between Frosty and Celta!! I think Frosty is my favourite of yours, and she looks particularly lovely here - her braided mane is  beautiful!

Tattered-Dreams In reply to sobreiros [2015-05-24 19:09:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The upside of being so very picky with all my horses is that I adore to pieces all the ones I do have, and ended up with a lovely bunch of them The style is really fun, too - though I'm glad to hear it still feels like mine (I think you're right; my eyes tend to stay the same regardless of style. I should try doing something about that XD).

And yes! One of my favourite things is the size differences; In my little world, Celta and Frosty are field buddies (not permanently joined, but they hang out) and I just love that huge gap in heights and the way it looks in my head, so it was really cool to get to show that (not that any of these are 'accurately' measured. I've sort of approximated the different heights as near to as I can guess). As for Frosty...she seems to have a few fans, though I've only drawn her twice. Her soft colours are lovely, but I do think the braiding helps Drawing braids is one of my favourite things.

I would buy them all in a heartbeat. They are all sooo pretty, and all in their own way. I must say Frosty is my absolute favorite - if you ever come to sell her, I'll be standing in line, haha! I love how you've all portrayed them so differently, but yet so similar. Excuse me while I keep drooling over this piece, can't wait till the other Tatty Toons (LOVE THAT NAME!) are up!

Tattered-Dreams In reply to fediarwoods [2015-05-24 11:32:31 +0000 UTC]

Haha, sadly, I'm very terrible about selling on or getting rid of my horses, so I don't think I could ever part with any of them. Who knows, one day I may consider leasing, but selling is way too final XD And Frosty is an unusual case for me. I really don't like blue eyes or bald faces on most horses, but I just fell in love with her design anyway. I think it must be the really soft colours that did it

Thank you, though! I'm glad you like them all (they all do have their own personalities and appearances, so I'm glad they all look unique) and lol, I love the word Toons

Drool away! I hope to have others posted before too long!^^
