XD anyway, the background sucks, mainly because it's too dark for the horse... and some of the shines aren't too good. but i like it a lot!
---------------------
for maximumrideiggy:
that's it! i am sorry that it may not be my best work ever, but i was in a hurry to deliver it. school begins in two days, and my tablet will be confiscated until christmas, so it was now or never! sorry!
BTW, i made her in her summer coat (sun bleached), cuz in her black coat it would be impossible to notice most of the details. hope you like it!
oh, one more thing, you can see a (much) larger version here: http://shadinalonesea.deviantart.com/art/Cali-May-finished-96975537

DONE! gosh, you have no idea how much time i spent on this thing! *dramaticaly faints*
----------------------------------------------
well, this is a request from a classmate of mine. she saw this beautyful pic of a fairy riding a horse, and she asked me to do something like that, in my style... it has been quite a challenge for me, cuz' i'm still not comfortable with humans, but i'm happy with the results, so far!
- the horse has changed a lot since the first sketch, and i still don't like it's expression (my sister says he looks mad), but i'll probably leave it as it is...
- the horse's briddle is also ridiculous... i thought it'd look cool, but it doesn't...
- oh, and don't ask me why does the right foot's fetlock fly in the opposite direction... i have no idea how that hapenned! -_-'
- and i think i should add some more dettail to the fairy's dress, but totally i suck at drawing clothes, so, if anyone has a good idea for it, i'd welcome! ^_^]]>Blaxeon - finished by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:93881d9e-8031-8635-0e65-85517dec24162008-07-21T14:52:15-07:00Finally finished! that's a request from Xiakeyra, this character, Blaxeon, riding a horse. this is pretty much what i had imagined for this picture, except for the background. i wanted to have some war horses on it, but i had to make only this simple thing after some pictures i found around google... anyway...
with a little help from my sister, i've made some quite exotic markings on the horse (particularly a big one on the hindquarters), and now i really think he has a lot of personality! i'm even considering using him as a character! :D
the shading and the lighting on the golds look kinda weird. i'm not sure i caught the idea. and they seem to be shining way too much for the dim daylight. oh well...
i still completely hate everything about Blaxeon. really. DX
everything, from the arms to the hair. i totaly suck at drawing humans... but i truly did my best! :|
oh, and try to forgive the miserable quality of this pic, but for some reason i can't understand, fanart isn't accepting bigger pictures! so sad, you won't believe how big this one used to be! >_<
-------------------------------------
for Xiakeyra:
well, i think this is it! this may not be my best work, but it is certainly one of the hardest chalenges i've ever faced! XD i once swore i'd never draw humans again, but still i took your request...
besides, i said i would try a new coloured lines technique, but then i decided not to. it would've looked like crap, because there are too many colours in the picture.
still, i really hope you like it! ^ ^
loved working for you!

Horse (c) me]]>Vodka- OC request by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:19b7a718-45f1-a40b-9c1f-9dbc2038078b2008-07-14T07:53:12-07:00here it is! ^^
in my (modest) opinion, this is my best work so far! i absolutely LOVE this coloured-lines techique!
that's a request from VodkaHorse (http://vodkahorse.deviantart.com/). she asked me to draw her horse Vodka dancing with glowsticks...
i've been asked this a long time ago, but i had so many requests in front of this one that i couldn't even think of it.
this one took me a few hours, i had to re-line it with coloured lines (the easy part) and to colour and shade it (the nightmare). but i think it turned out pretty awsome!
hope you like it, comments always welcome!
---------------------------------
time taken: 3 hours (plus 1hr for the original sketch)
reference: none, actually. i've just looked at the ref-pic to see if the proportions were those of a "regular" horse.
media: i've doodled around with it for a while, but this one was made out of nowhere, with photoshop and tablet.

now, about the changes since the original:
the horse has been refined, i've improved the head a lot, now i'm happy with it. i've done everything i can with Blaxeon. any further and i'd ruin it. i really suck at humans, and those arms still look like crap. i've also added one more rein, cuz the briddle looked too big for a single one. the standard stirrup became a portuguese box stirrup. not only it matches the portuguese-style saddle, but it also spares me the pain of drawing the foot. and believe me, i tried hard before giving up! -_-' i've also added those things in the horse's legs (how do ya call those?). i think it helps to cut down the extreme blackness of his feet. not sure i'll keep them, though...
oh, about the colours. i said it would probably be a dappled grey, but it looked awful with the golden armor. i also tried the bay and the black versions, and they looked cool but they had little "presence" (means the horse seemed to be shrinked by his rider and wasn't noticed as it deserves, IMO). besides, those colours aren't andalusian/lusitano traditional. so, i made it some sort of grey roan, with white strands. i think he now has personality and doesn't look too awful under all that gold. i hope... the saddle's colour is sort of lame, but it's going to look cooler with the peculiar matte shading.
and yeah, the horse's "stuff" is missing cuz the rider's foor has changed place sand i forgot to add it. now i'm not sure what level of accuracy i'm going to put into it... XD
-------------------------------------
for Xiakeyra:
hey there! that's my last sketch before the last pic. i've made the armor in golden, as you asked. and it looks awsome! i've taken the colour for blaxeon from your pic, with only slight adjustments. now i'll be working my head off on making the lines in colour (new technique, still under testing), so i hope i'll be able to put the final version up soon!
anyway, anything you wanna change, just tell me! ;)

i took a while to really start working on it, but once i began, it was finished in no time! BTW, it's hard to notice, but the horse has his left leg resting, hidden by the fence. anyway...
hope you like it, comments welcome! ;)

for horses11:
this is it! hope i got everything right, since you didn't mention the lenght of the mane and tail, and the markings in the legs...
hope you like it! nice working for you! =)

time taken: 10 min sketch. 2 hr lineart, 1 hr re-line and colour

i didn't draw the background, it's a manipulation of a pic found in google.

-------------------------------------
for Xiakeyra:
hey! that's my first sketch for your pic. the lineart is pretty simple, and i haven't got into many dettail about blaxeon, yet. just make sure you like the pose and the horse design. those plates on the horse shoulders and croup are supposed to be pieces of mettal armor, but i'm considering changing them into leather, maybe, dunno... i was planning to make the horse with long mane (like a proper andalusian), but since it's a war-horse, i thought that a long mane would have to be braided, and that would look even worse than a short one, IMO... anyway, if there's anything you wanna change, just tell me! ;)

well, hope you like it! comments always welcome!
nice working for you, xSpiritx! ^_^
--------------------
media: very rough sketch done by hand, then digitalized and re-done a hundred times with photoshop and tablet.
time taken: 1 hr (first picture) + 2 hr re-sketching, colouring and background
reference: none. although xSpiritx has shown me the real Lightning, the pic was already lined and coloured by then. i guess i took the idea for the stall from it... -_-
i didn't do the background, i took it from this site: http://www.citrusoaksfarm.com/inside%20stall%202.JPG. i've then put some wild effects on it with photoshop.

background picture (c) it's owner]]>Gallop: The Making Of by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:07230522-7047-bba4-d2d7-7876e234f7fa2008-06-06T06:44:37-07:00yeah, the "Making of"...
i thought that many of you would think "how the hell did she do that???" about my gallop animation, so here's the solution to the mistery. XD
in fact, there isn't need for a lot of skill and talent in order to do something like this. just the right tools and some horse knowledge.
so you can understand this picture, you must know that each row represents a step in the process and each collumn is a different frame (photogram). they are in reverse order, which means that the correct order to view the frames is from right to left. and that is the order in which they are pilled up in photoshop, the left on top, the right on bottom.
> so, the first row (brown horses with red spots) are screenshots from this program (pivot stickfigure animator), which i used to create and animate the horse stickfigure. i've chosen to take the frames with those red spots, because they mark each joint of the horse. the creation and animation of the horse took me 1 hr.
> after placing each of the pivot-screenshots in it's layer on photoshop, i've underlined the shape of the body, neck and head, and i've drawn the bones, following the red dots.
> with the skeleton ready to go, i've put "meat" in it's bones, drawing the basic shape of the legs. this was the longest step in the whole process, and the most important one.
> then i've added the mane and improved the tail (or else, destroyed it, cuz it looks much worse now)
> lastly, coloured it. without any shadows or background, this was the easiest part! XD
overall, i've taken 3 hours for all the frames (not couting the modelation and animation with pivot), which makes an average of 30 minutes per frame.
so, basically, the part that needed more skils was the creation and animation of the stick-horse! for that, you need to know how to build a stick figure, how to make it look and move like a horse, and how to make the horse you've built gallop. after that, everything's easy! besides, you can find this (free) program all over the web, it's small and extremely useful!
can't remember what more to say, so...
time taken: 1 hr for creating and animating the sticktigure, plus 3 hours for the rest of the photoshop drawings
reference: absolutelly none. i've built and animated the horse without any reference, and i've done all the drawings also out of my own head.
tools: pivot stickfigure animator & mouse; photoshop elements & tablet.
wew... hope you like it! comments always welcome! ^ ^

(animation) by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:44916e73-393b-25db-9642-0442633177b82008-06-06T06:14:44-07:00yay! my first succeeded attempt at making an animated horse on photoshop.
it is supposed to look like an arabian horse, but then i coloured it like spirit (even though that coat doesn't even exist in arabians)...
i know it has many problems... the hind legs have too little mobility , the front legs spread too much, i don't like the shoulder, the mane's movement is WAY too dramatic (although flowing and neat) and the tail is a cluster of randomly moving pixels (= piece of &%$#). and the forelock is stupid, too. right, that must prove i have to work more in hair movement, from now on. oh wel...
a more accurate description can be found in another picture, named "The making of". ;)

---------------------------------------
for ForeverBlessed:
hey! sorry i'm taking so long but i'm having an incredible amount of stuff to do, so i haven't even been able to breathe! right, let's skip the excuses...
i've finally done Skye's wings, now i just have to make them a little bigger. i had to browse among DOZENS of eagle's pictures to finally understand how they work... gosh! *wipes forehead*
i'll have to re-do the whole mane and tail for them both, cuz it looks really stupid.
and, although i love skye's pose, his shoulder-tattoo will be hidden, wich is sad... oh well, can't have everything.
now i'll have to think of the background... i thought i'd make like in your description "receives a beautiful pink rose, while he floats above her, usually done on a starry night", but it feels just so un-creative... i dunno. if i can't come out with a better idea, that will do.
so, this is it! anything you want to change, either in dettails, of poses or colours, you tell me! can't wait to see it finished! ^ ^

Skye & Sury (c) ForeverBlessed]]>Anthro - Me & My Sister by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:e903f43e-beb8-09f5-03e1-8768b22ae5902008-05-27T09:19:30-07:00well, i don't really know what to say bout this pic... it came out completely unexpected when doodling around absent-mindedly...
anyway, i'm the one on the right, and that's my sister on the left. that's exactly how we'd look like in a normal day of summer. the outfits are quite real, i do own those pants, that waist coat, that ugly-blue-bag, and my sister does own those cloud/sephiroth-like trousers, that red shirt and that huge-case-for-carrying-art-stuff.
in case you're wondering, she's 4 years younger than me, but she's actually taller!
and lastly, my picture was made first, and with a much smaller original size, that's why it looks pretty "blurred"... and it also has no tail, which i only noticed too late...
oh well, hope you like it!
fully done on photoshop, with tablet.
the first (me) took about 15 minutes, then i did my sister and took along time on it.
no reference at all.]]>Random sketches on a Tuesday afternoon by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:8f22aae1-af3c-d535-3ffb-6d1e0a46d72d2008-05-14T03:09:51-07:00yeah, random... anyway, the pictures are in chronological order, from left to right and from top to bottom. i shall now describe each one (if there's really anything to say)...
- that leg-less guy is supposed to be Genesis (FFVII Crisis Core) and "ASAB" is my sister (her name's initials). she totally loves him and she had this vision of them both reading his book (Loveless)... someday i may do a really good picture from this... by the way, in case you're wondering, that thing written next to Genesis' name (Braço dir?!) is a note for me to pay carefull attention to his right arm, absent from the picture cuz i couldn't fit it in.
- next is something i planned putting on this anthro-legs-tutorial i was requested... but i've realised that legs are really easy to do in every possible point of view given that you can do them in side view first and that you know this "rule" i'm going to teach you someday... -_-
- those three make my first succeeded attempt at doing the same anthro in 3 different points of view! believe me, i've miserably failled every previous attempts...
- next is a random arabian stallion (or something like that)... not that pretty, though.
- below the horse you can see a very weird depiction of myself on a very boring class... if only the teachers would let me draw... and yes, that's my laptop on the table.
- finally there's a study for ForeverBlessed's request. i really like the flying one, Skye, but i hate Suri... there's something about her pose that simply doesn't fit... anyway, that's just a study, doesn't mean i'll use it on the final picture...
hope you like it!
fully done on photoshop (about 20 layers, total), with tablet
can't tell how much time each picture took, but the whole thing took me 2 hrs.

hope you like it!
------------------------------------------------
for ForeverBlessed:
hi! well, i wanted you to see how's it going and what you think. i'm afraid the body shapes aren't that arabian-like, but arabians are really hard to draw... so, here goes what i want you to check:
- their general head&body shape. i'm not sure i like those necks...
- skye's wing looks really weird, but it doesn't matter, cuz in the end he'll be flying. just make sure the size is fine.
- is skye's face stripe okay? i think it's too thin, maybe...
- are the mane&tail&feathers the right length (both of them)?
- i can't decide which of the "tattoos" to put on skye. you said it was in his arm, but i personally like the 3rd one (counting from left). if you don't like any of these, i'll try some others.
- how's suri's horn's size? because she's 4 years old, i thought it'd look nice to put 4 loops in it, what do you think? the red colour is going to run between each loop...
- also, i made suri's snip pretty small, is that alright?
- and, do ya like the speckling on her haunches? i've added a bit of it on the shoulders, too... but it's hard to know if it'll look good before colouring...
once again, sorry for the too many questions... -_-'
fully done on photoshop, with tablet;
reference from some arabian horse's pictures (quite useless, though);
took about 3 hours, had at least 3 different remakes. about 15 layers.
]]>Quick Horse Drawing Tutorial by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:5617a1e2-e099-349c-ad6f-4bac6693b40e2008-04-28T12:03:50-07:00well, because my first horse drawing tutorial was WAY too long and boring, i thought of making a new, simpler one. this is not as dettailed, but it's good fot the beginner who just wants to doodle around and doesn't know how to start.
oh, and try to forgive the lame titles, i've been playing too many games...
by the way, if you have the chance to use photoshop (or something that works with layers) and a tablet, i strongly recomend using one layer for each step, and turning the older layers progressively more transparent. for the last step, i normally use more than one layer, because i'm affraid of erasing something that's already good while drawing the new parts. but that's me.... -_-'
anyway, hope you like it!

I've had this idea for a while and I just now got around to drawing it... in my middle of my Criminal Law class, no less. As soon as I get some new inking pens, I plan on making the lines clearer and probably uploading a new, crisper copy. But for now, this will do.
Oh, the text by Trucy and Pearl basically says "P hearts M," for "Phoenix loves Maya." I picture them both being P/M fangirls... hhaha.
Poor Apollo knows nothing about the Steel Samurai, and Edgeworth doesn't appreciate him asking in the middle of the show.

i know the background is kind of lame, but i couldn't find one that fitted his colour...
the quality is quite poor, specially on the wings... i may post a bigger picture, one day.

for Error:
so, this is it! ^_^
i know i said the background should be something simple, and blah blah... but it wouldn't look well just blank...
i'm still not too happy with the size/shape of the horn, but i think it's tha pose's fault... and, oh, i hope you don't mind, but i SO HAD to make the horn half-metal-bladed! -_- i think it look's cool...
i've worked pretty hard on the eyes, i hope you like them!
well, you tell me if you wanna change anything, okay?
nice working for you! ;)

if you've seen my previous works, you should know i was working on a fully coloured anthro sephiroth.
and i actually was working really hard! i took hours just to find the basic colours i'd use, let alone all the degrees of shadow and light...
everything was going just fine, and sephiroth was coming more alive at every stroke of the shading brush. then bad luck stroke me that day...
i was saving a JPEG version, to show my sister how was it going, but instead i saved the actual PSD document! it means, i spoiled the hard work of days, dozens of layers, each with a certain shadow or light tone, almost ready for being blurred and bring Sephiroth to life...
i was heart-broken... i wasn't able to draw that day and the next day... i nearly cried of frustration! T_T
but i got over it, and decided to do what i still could to save his honour... i just added a few shines on the hair and, here it is. -_-
just so you know, this version is TINNY compared with the original, and the quality is really poor...
maybe one day i'll gatter the courage to re-line it and re-colour it from scratch, but for now, it stays that way.
first sketch done on paper, then photoshop and tablet re-lined, improved and coloured.
time taken: countless hours of patient colouring work. just the lines took me around 24 hrs...
references: a popular picture of Crisis Core's Sephiroth, mainlly because of his clothes.]]>Chocobo doodles by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:fd71128e-2f66-659b-4623-ab5d48b3123b2008-03-14T01:47:01-07:00well, this is a set of random chocobo sketches i've done in little more than 1 hour. i've spent the whole day looking for good pictures of chocobos, and i fell in love with Final Fantasy XII's design (which, by the way, i find very similar to feathered velociraptors; guess that's why i love them).
so, i started sketching as soon as i got home... and i found them really easy to draw, specially the heads! ^_^
so, here it is.
all done directly on photoshop, with trust tablet, and absolutelly no references (i'd been looking at pictures the whole day, but i had none when i was drawing).
the time i took for each one is written under them.
the first (and obviouslly the ugliest) i did is the "10 min" on the left. the last was the "10 min" on the right .]]>Pony-Anthro-Final Fantasy-ish doodles by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:249dee27-94c8-b177-7971-48ce9a6e4e6a2008-03-09T14:37:50-07:00okay, i honestly can't think of a better title for this one! -_-'
this is a series of drawings i've done in the last two weeks, in chronological order. you can see how i've come from a sort of small ponies with cute faces to an awsome anthro-sephiroth in just a few days!
--------------------------------------
following, there's a small description of each pic, from left to right and from top to bottom:
- the flying pegasus, first one. born during a chemistry class, some people claimed it looked like Uni, the neopet. i don't think so.
- the standing baby pegasus. nothing to say, i just made it to prove myself that the first one wasn't an accident.
- third and fourth, expressions and different angles. i was starting to like that kind of faces.
- fifth. well, that one was a nice pose gone bad. it ended up looking like a dog, so i put the angry face and the lifted foot. -_-'
- well, you probably recognize those two. it's my first attempt on doing Cloud and Sephiroth as ponies. i fell in love with Sephiroth's expression!
- okay, the first two on the second row are quite humorous. i thought of how ridiculous Rude would look like in a pony shape, because he's bald. and how Reno would make fun of him... ^_^ sorry, Rude-fans!
- last two on the second row, Cloud's problems. i realized of all the problems a pony shape could bring to a sword-wielding character...
- first on third row, Cloud and Rude's rebellion. i understood how sick they should be for being mistreated as ponies... oh, just noticed, i forgot to write what cloud's saying, in the first one. he was saying: "could you please stop? this is no longer funny!". my apollogies for that.
- second on third row, my first anthro! not too detailed, though...
- last one: awsomeness! this one is too detailed, but i started to line it for colouring before i decided to make this compilation. so, you can expect a full coloured anthro-sephiroth real soon! ^_^ some people might not get that pose, so here's the explanation: while Cloud and Rude keep complainning about their pony and anthro shapes, Sephiroth realized that now he's got hands and can.... well, do whatever he wants with them! XD
-------------------------------------------
they were all done by hand first, then lined and improved with photoshop elements and a trust tablet.
by the way, the resized version doesn't show any detail, so, full view, please!
okay, this is it. hope you like it! comments always welcome, good or bad!]]>Friends! (new style testing) by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:2f770c9a-8497-7019-286f-887432cb25122008-02-29T00:15:21-08:00oooookay, so here's the proof that i can draw "humans" without any kind of reference! ^_^
i'm really proud of it!
i know the placing of the arms may give a weird first impression but, oh, well...
and that is NOT milk in the bucket (as my beloved sister claimed -_-)! it's supposed to be water, but i may have put *a little* too much white shine...
the original sketch took me 10 minutes, then i re-lined and coloured it with photoshop elements and a trust tablet. i didn't draw the background.]]>nora by Celine19urn:uuid:d18392c7-81bb-1195-fa28-36492a4e7c072008-02-19T02:29:41-08:00nora is one of my favourite characters from witch blade series so i draw her .]]>Cloud (from Advent Children) by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:4d26119b-96f2-d640-ffda-9ab3ca5990552008-02-15T07:35:53-08:00well, not much to say about that one...
it's heavily referenced from a well known picture of Cloud in Aeris' church, and the background was taken from that very same picture.
this time i've made the lines coloured, which works better with this kind of background than the standard black lines.
i'm afraid the eyes are a bit too contrasting, the just don't match the rest of the face. and some lines in the hair look odd. and the shadows on the face don't seem too realistic... but i still like it! ^_^
by the way, i'm starting to like this new kind of half-chibies! now i must start to do them from memory, without the aid of a real picture...
fully done on photoshop, with tablet.
hope you like it as much as i do!
]]>Kadaj - trying new chibi style by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:858aac23-7d8c-8a90-c2d1-491542d5e1ba2008-02-13T05:00:21-08:00okay, i haven't uploaded a pic in a long time because something went wrong with the java thing and, well...
so this is what i've been doing latelly! i've discovered the Final Fantasy games and the movie Advent Children and i'm totally in love with it!
so, i tried to find a new chibi style for me to work with (the first one didn't worked well) and this is the best i've ever done! i'm still working on the basics of the head and body, but i had to colour this one and upload it!
god bless my brand new tablet! ^.^
i know, it still has lots of flaws - the neck is way too long, the head seems a little too short, i don't like the "hidden" eye and the areas behing the hair look all crappy... but i love it the same! i caught just the right expression, and that's all that matters! maybe one day i'll upgrade it...
hand drawing, then photoshop re-drawing and colouring.
oh, by the way, it was based in a popular picture of Kadaj (everywhere on google), i still can't "create" anything from scratch...
and don't you think i like Kadaj more than Cloud! i just couldn't find a really good picture of Cloud to start with... -_-
okay, that's all. enjoy and comment, if you wish!]]>Feliz Navidad 2007 by Vayurn:uuid:40cc5915-ba3e-e2d0-db0f-89321c2edf512007-12-24T22:18:13-08:00Merry Christmas!!

Finally you have your own maid xD]]>Guppy Fish by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:f92f00a3-7d27-6e8f-03f0-fa7e7a9db7c82007-12-01T16:23:23-08:00that may seem a little random but...
this is a portrait of my favourite male guppy fish (we have been breeding them, this guy is a grandson of the first couple we bought), he's got this unique colour pattern on the tail fin, and a incredible white and blue dorsal!
we hope his kids will grow that gorgeous!
anyway, that may be my 3rd or 4th attempt with coloured pencils, i think i'm getting a little better...
comments please! ^.^]]>K-Gumi by Quisturn:uuid:af53e572-4835-fceb-beb5-5be5ebc481c12007-11-29T04:03:09-08:00Oh look~! RuroKen fanart! I haven't dabbled in this series for such a long time. Anywho, drawn during my Poli Sci class because I was bored. No references... um, not really 100% proud of it because some of the characters look funny, but whatev. Enjoy~!
*grumbles something about this computer not being good for uploading artwork...*]]>Shadina's Character Sheet by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:c938fb1f-6d24-60ee-caa4-f88353384dad2007-11-27T06:31:29-08:00here it is, my character sheet! it has a little to much text, but i cant express myself in another way...
the hip symbol was decided while i was doing it, so i'm not sure i'll keep it forever. but, for now, it stays. by the way, it has quite a story. those "leaf like" things are not leaves, they are dinosaur footprints (don't laugh). in the book "dinotopia" the alphabet is written with dinossaur-footprints-like shapes, single or in pairs. plus, there are numbers written in the same way, always in pairs. that particular combination (one facing down, one facing left) is a rather strange coincidence: if you consider each marking by itself, they mean "C.B"., my first and last name's inicials. if you consider then as one single unit, they mean the number "3", wich is my special number (check my biography and see why is it special). i've been using that to sign several works and to mark some of my stuff.
that "P" in the forhead was also made up without much thinking. i DOES NOT mean i'm a pirate (like the "P" fire-markings, in "pirates of the caribbean"). it's a natural marking (not acquired) and primarily means "Pisces", my zodiac sign.
don't know what more to say.
hope yu like it!]]>My new anthro characters! by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:83df823a-0a96-40b7-f41c-6e80f23ff2322007-11-22T03:01:00-08:00that's kind of a composite of many pictures i've been drawing in these last two weeks.
first i've decided the name of those creatures: sesroh-orthnahym, aka SOH.
then the proportions for the adults and kids.
then i solved the complicated question of the tail (finally!).
then i started to think "what am i going to do with them?". i thought... maybe an arising civilization after the human extinction (upper left corner picture)? hum, sounds good! but right now i can't think of any dettails to do it, so i'm going to use them as mere "tools", justa another shape that characters can take (human, horse, now SOH).
that's it.
now, i need some advice... should i leave the feet with a single hoof or give them some more (3 would look cool)? i mean, if the hands have more fingers, why not the feet? beside, it would make the action of standing easier, because three fingers give more support... what do you say???]]>New Trotting Me - lined by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:d6162413-872d-f5f1-6651-bb46ccae202a2007-10-28T12:40:57-07:00hey, let me introduce you to my brand new ME!!! almost everything is done, except for the hip-symbol, which i haven't decided yet...
i thought it'd be better to post is as it is, cuz i'm not sure i'll colour it.
pencil drawn, photoshop lined and improved.
hope you like it!

the rider gave quite a hard work, and i'm still no very happy with it, but it's the best i can do...
so, this is it, HoRsEwIsPeReR396! hope you like it! ;)]]>Sam - unfinished by ShadinaLoneseaurn:uuid:48d057b3-921f-7eb9-6983-5b4650f662c82007-09-23T06:10:24-07:00that's a request for HoRsEwIsPeReR396. she asked me to draw her imaginary horse, "Sam, the friesian", in my pony style. it didn't came out in my OLD style, but in my new, more realistic style. anyway, it took me hours just to make the curved neck and all those flying fetlocks, but i simply LOVE it!
still not finished, many dettails to check and computer colouring to be done.
hope you like it, HoRsEwIsPeReR, anything you want to change, tell me! ;)]]>Claire Oekaki by Vayurn:uuid:a5f0ab41-5fdc-0615-0c8a-f712d7022a5b2007-09-03T16:19:05-07:00She's very pretty and elegant! n_n I like very much this gym leader.]]>Sweet Ice by Vayurn:uuid:66212a8d-ed8f-38d9-d07b-5d80ae87b1d92007-09-03T16:15:26-07:00Kula Diamont from King of Fighters
