I DREW A WONKY HORSE. :noes: :noes: :noes: IT'S SO MUTATED THAT INSTEAD OF NEIGHING IT WILL SAY BAA.

Based loosely on an archeological discovery made on the iron-age burial grounds of Luistari, Eura, Finland. One of the graves held a silk-clad man from around 900 AD within, whose belongings contained jewelry and coins brought from the Middle East. He had likely been a so-called Varangian (eastern Viking) adventurer, who had followed the similarly named trade route from the far, cold north to the Byzantine Empire and beyond (and back again). The first parts of the route followed the southern coast of Finland.

Meh, make up your own story of the guy if you like.

Wow, I wish I was this talented.
:clap: hieno työ! Hevosen jalat näyttävät hieman paksuilta, mutta värit ja muut yksityiskohdat on todella hienoja!

I don't hink the horse's mutated! :noes::noes::noes: horses are damn hard to draw though... but I think it looks great. Along with everyhting else! poor man looks so lonely. like the hore's his only friend... ;___;

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
That poor horse! I want to name her 'Lumpy' and give her a comfortable retirement in a nice, warm room with pillows. Oh. And shampoo/condition her mane. Serious frizz.

Extremely detailed work. I love the background and the man's body. The sun is shining over here, but just looking at that snow makes me shiver.

The horse and the man's hair, though... Well, they DO serve to remind me that as incredibly talented as you are, you're still human. :)
Well, since this is my first full-body horse, I fully expected it to emerge with a certain amount of sporadic wonkiness. :lol: Had a reference, but with the same means it took me two years to learn to draw women right. XD Finnish landscapes are something I've practiced quite a lot more.
Kiitti. :D Noh, tuo on ensimmäinen kokovartaloheppa, jonka olen koskaan piirtänyt, joten niissä on paljonkin vielä harjoittelemista. Parista syksyllä ottamastani valokuvasta yritin nyt sen verran katsella mallia, etteivät jalat olisi ihan väärinpäin sentään. XD
Even though you say the horse looks weird, its still a good picture :XD:

And the background is so beautiful! I like how you drew the trees and the sky!

Wow, wonky horse anatomy or not, this rocks! I love the vibrant colours that pop but are still cool. Great light casting off the snow as well.
