Some winter fun!

This is a fully-colored and shaded piece that features five characters. Woot!

Can't you hear those sleigh bells ringing? Looks like Ixxi decided to take her friends out for a sleigh ride through the wintery wonderland. As some of you know, I have horses IRL and I do hitch them to carriages (no snow where I live). So this is a really fun piece for me. The tree in the foreground is a white birch tree. I'm a big fan of them as they remind me of where I grew up in New Hampshire.

Of course, I realized about half-way through this piece that none of these characters really have hair. Amethyst has a mane but I figured I go for something just a little bit different and leave the hair. Be sure to look at the Full View image to see all the shading that took me forever to do. XD

So characters:
is pulling the sleigh.
and in the front seat.
With 's kids in the back seat Buddy & Rocky.

Too much fun!

This piece took me approximately 20 hours to finish. Hope that you enjoy it! Thanks for entering my raffle! (Original raffle was here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12172342/)
