Pegasus and Tactician

OK, this is my part of the art trade I have with Shini, finally finished!! I honstly lost track of the hours spent on this, but my guess would be....around 10? It's kind of obvious I went overboard with the level of detail, but I couldn't help it

Shini designed the character there, and I made up the rest. That was the first time I've ever attempted drawing a horse like that, and I tried out a lot of new ideas for effects on the hair and other areas.

I would have liked to have done a more interesting sky, but I really wanted the focus to be on the characters. Done from scratch in photoshop too. A lot of time was spent fixing up the proportions after I'd brushed them. Originally, the neck was far too long, the ear was too low, and the jaw was too big. But, I think I managed to fix those problems up.

So, here it is at last! My first art trade pic! (perhaps the last....for a long while at least...)
Enjoy!!
