Horses and Stuff

This actually didn't take long to color, it just took me forever to get around to doing it. Her coat is inspired by this lovely piece on Modcloth.

I also had a taker on my $10 Colored Commission Christmas Sale, and this is the cleaned up and slightly filled in line art of her character Oscar:

Someone Once Said Something

“Don't fear failure. — Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.” -Bruce Lee

Thank you, Bruce Lee, for that something. It puts my failure to complete 52 weeks of art projects into perspective because I certainly did try. In fact I made it much farther this year than I did the two years before. I think this means that the fourth time is a charm and I shall tackle my goal again in about three weeks when 2014 dawns upon us.

That being said, until yesterday I hadn't drawn anything since the middle of November besides some casual sketches. As it so happened, what pulled me out of my slump was a Netflix marathon of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I ended up drawing my favorite pony, Rarity, in a fabulous winter coat.

I'll color it digitally because the paper has so many smudges, but I wanted to show it off just inked... in blue. I accidentally bought a blue inking pen but it's growing on me.
