Commission from ! She was quite specific, not about the background or setting, but about the abstract nature of the horses. She wanted the chestnut to be "A very pretty looking thing. A sort of arrogance about it, carefree too" and the palomino to be "also a pretty looking thing, maybe gentle looking. That being said, a roughness and arrogance should be present also."
I was like 0.o??? LOL. Just thought I had to share that with you guys! Haha hopefully I didn't mess it up too badly.
I really like the autumn motif. I didn't even intend for it to be an autumn-themed manip, but it just turn out that way, something I really like since not only has autumn just begun, it's also my favorite season!
The background got quite the change, it was amazingly easy to work with! It had some beautiful color tones just begging to be brought out. And I did some combining which I'm quite proud of.
