Nice a horse. I like the candy cane horse shoe. I like pretty much all of it particularly the glitter design on the ball.

Why is it you wont win again?

hehe, because I don't usually win things.. I'm hopeful, but I am realistic, I've seen the other artists work, and KNOW they do good. Anyways, it's not for money or anything like that, it's for a character from a specific world created for roleplaying in the world the artist created, it's a horse world ^^ all quads of course but so many different types. I don't know, I just like it and the people, and rping is fun of course so I thought I'd try for the contest to see if I can't win the free horse character, to be drawn special for me ^^.

Oh and the shimmer on the ball, that was easy, the snow was the kicker. The shimmer on the ball you get by taking a solid color and then adding a specific type of noise to it to distort the color, it's a tool in photoshop. ^^ anyways, thank you for your comments again ^^

Ah sounds like fun I love roleplaying, its good to have something you can associate with your art.

Its a great picture and even if you don't win its not a total loss, looks to me you created your own character anyways. (yeah thats hardly a consolation :P)

Actually, it looks like through one of the many events, I actually ended up winning one customed, Soquili (that's what she calls them, it's Native American, Cherokee, for Horse.) I'll actually be able to have the one similar *will obviously be different because it'll be a different artists lines and coloring, to the one I want ^^. It's always fun rping in someone's world. ^^

oh congratulations! What did I tell you. I knew I saw something good in your art. Hope you decide to post it or something so we can see it.

hehe, it wasn't my art that won it ^^ but thank you for the compliment, and if I get permission I will ^^
