Description

Some people might know that I have been practicing a lot of realism lately (or should I call it semi-realism perhaps). I felt I have learned a lot from it! The downside of it is that it takes so much more time to complete stuff like this without lineart etc so I have many ongoing projects right now.
The horse was hard enough to paint but then I decided to try and do a decent background for it as well. And considering I didn't use much references it is no wonder it takes time XD

I'm must say that I am really happy that I finally completed this though and I am satisfied with how it turned out. :D Not sure why I gave him the name 'Diabolo' it was just a name that popped up in my mind all of a sudden while working.

Why do people never get any critiques when they ask for it? I have to make a difference here! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="15" height="15" alt=":lol:" title="LOL" />

I don't remember you doing backgrounds that often, this in any case looks lovely. Its very soft in the colours - and even if you say you tried some more realism it still resembles your usual style enough to glow through that you did it. (not in a bad way!)

The horse is interesting, it to, kinda remind me of a little pony, might be the posing and all the flowing hair. The highlight on the "belly and hips" (sorry, I'm not good at horse body parts) is what gives me the most realism feal, thats just so horse! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> And in the same region I adore the texture feel and I almost remember how it feels to stroke a horse on the back.

The only thing that might not be perfect would be how the mane and tail looks harder in texture then the rest of the piece.

I think it's a good choice to have it as a print, it most likely will fulfill the dreams of some horescrazy girls out there^^

really gorgeous!
