Artsy Stuff-Horse Portait [NEW-1.22.11]

CallyKats Dachshunds · December 2010

Well, when my aunt was over for thanksgiving with us, she actually asked me to paint (digitally) both of her old horses. She misses them dearly, and I'm sure that it'll make her a lot happier to have a painting of each of them in her home.

So, I've done the one of Mannix. I believe it's completely finished, but I'm not completely positive, so any crit and/or comments are welcome.

I haven't started Sunny's at all..since I have until our Christmas get together thing to finish them..so I still have some time to procrastinate.

Here's a picture of Mannix (they're old, lol) and then the portrait I did of him. I decided I would feel horrible if I just said screw it and had her pay for the one I had up..so I decided to re-do it, and I'm extremely glad I did. She loves it.

I decided to do just a side view of him running instead of the front..I figured I'd be less stressed since it'd be easier on me, and the fact that I don't be too overly stressed since these are suppose to be done by christmas. ;; Image: <img src="http://i54.tinypic.com/2lawolv.jpg"; alt="http://i54.tinypic.com/2lawolv.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> Portait: <a href="http://i52.tinypic.com/23hm0i0.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i52.tinypic.com/23hm0i0.jpg</a>; <--WIP <img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/nx19af.jpg"; alt="http://i56.tinypic.com/nx19af.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> ^--Finished.

Here's two graphite pieces I'm planning on selling elsewhere..I just don't want to have 5 different images saved of the same thing, with just slightly different text. ;; Details are on the images, so I don't really have to explain what they are.

But it could easily be a mare or gelding.

) And here's the latest digital portrait.
