First Snow

My half of a trade with *sVa-BinaryStar
Her half is here:

---

This is *sVa-BinaryStar's Pyre Ember 2224

I don't often seem to draw black horses, but this little one is so pretty! I love that white tail and the contrast of her against the snow was fun to play with. I hope I did her justice for you, BinaryStar, and I did try to capture some of the feel of the cat painting you liked, but I don't know how well it worked. I just hope you like how this came out .

And I did sort of out of focus snow fall over the top of her, too, but if you'd rather I just kept the snow in the background, I can take them out easily enough

Thank you so much for doing this trade with me!

I love drawing snow. I'm not great at it, but I do love doing it - and footprints are some of my favourite things to create
The background was a bit of an experiment. Binary said she liked something about my airbrush painting of Yemi here: [link] so I tried to recreate the loose, abstract feel of it by blending the snowy atmosphere into the snow on the ground and really bringing Pyre out to the front with generally soft shading, but some picked out highlights.

I'm not sure about the white reflective underlight on Pyre - snow throws back the light in amazing ways which I tried to recreate, but I don't know that I wholy succeeded there. I did try, though .

I need to do more snow - I'm hooked Good thing we're coming into winter XD

Around 6 hours total, at a guess?
No refs - sorry if the Nordy conformation is a tad off : I started and couldn't stop...
