One day you may draw a canine, I hope. Despite your strong dislie of the species it does to have wide appeal and therefore have a good chance of selling!

Either way this is a nicely done piece. I do not know a lot of epona but feel I most research this deity now!

Where did I ever say I had "a strong dislike of the species [canines ]"????

First of all: I do not have any 'strong dislike of any sort towards any animal species.

Then: I just recently uploaded a picture with two jackals. Even so it had an egyptic theme, as far as I am concerned, jackals ARE canines. The reason I don't draw canines as often as ungulates is that I like ungulates more, truth. They are more appealing to me and also, I draw them better. While I appreciate any commission request for canines and do my best to practice them more apart from commissions, I usually do not find my results appealing enough to upload them. But I apload all my canine commissions. IT just happens to be when I draw what comes to my mind, ungulates are always on my mind while canines are just special guests. :p DOESN'T mean I dislike them!

And third: This is a charity in a local town that is directly NEXT to the Connemara Moore. The IRish inhabitants of this town sure like dogs, but let me tell you they ADORE their Connemara Ponies which they breed with pride. So when I do a charity for a CAT WELFARE and I decide to draw something different than cats, then Connemara Ponies are the way to go. here. This isn't for a furry con charity. On a furry con charity I would have gone for big cats or canines, that's for sure. :p

And then: thanks for the praise and yes, you really should. Epona is a very interesting goddess from a historical point of view as well! I think she's the only diety that was adapted by the Romans from the IRish and then widely worshipped all over Europe.

So wait, you like dogs? You did not seem one to like dogs at all. But to be honest I initially saw your avatar and mistook you for someone else (apologise)

For liking dogs they sure have no dog rescues or dog friendly organizations in this irish town.

Ponies

Lovely drawing.

They do, actually: http://madra.ie/

But in fact, I know that MADRA receives more donations than GCS, so I decided to help them out. Pic your battles. NExt xear, I'll support the IRish Horse Welfaire association if possible.

Really beautiful Balorkin :)

thank you :)

Awesome work, your horses are so beautiful and I look forward to seeing you support Irish Horse Welfare association, horse charities seem to fly under the radar sometimes and need all the help they can get

That is more than true, especially because unfortunately, you can help a cat with 100€ - spay, vaccinate, check, de-worm and whatnot, but for a horse? That's not much. :/

The artistic style of coloring is wonderful. I love how the contours are very visible and at the same time blend into the picture… I like it a lot!

Thanks! :D First time try to mess around with calligraphic ink!

This drawing is adorable ... Somehow it reminded me of my late mother. I guess love is what I see in your painting. Very nice!

that is the great honor, when you have emotions when looking at my art. Thanks for your kind words!

This week has been a year since the death of my mother and I'm very sensitive. And I recently, I have returned to see this pic of horses, and caused me a beautiful feeling. Your drawing is just beautiful. You are beautiful. Thank you!
