Well my goodness, I was wondering when you were going to post another one of your fabulous draws. This horse is quite wonderful. But sheesh, couldn't you take your time on these draws???? Just cranking them out! tee gee,,,thirteen hours.....what patience you have. He is truely amazing Aakyra.
Miss_DJ (Apr 3, 2008)
your style is wonderful Aakyra!
Axil62 (Apr 3, 2008)
Oh my god. This is fantastic. I don't know if you did it on purpose or what...but this has the slightest surreal quality but at the same time this ...thing comes through that makes it so very real. The eye is my favorite part...and the colors...wow. I would have commented on your first horse but I wanted to see if it was a fluke. Guess not.
Aakyra (Apr 3, 2008)
Thanks so much! You all made me feel that time invested was well worth the effort. It means a great deal to me!
davincipoppalag (Apr 3, 2008)

Such a truly gorgeous creature, and you did it justice in this drawing. Stunning!

this is so beautiful! GREAT job

Considering equines are actually the hardest animals to draw, I have to say that I'm quite impressed. Love the expression captured and the articulate rendering of the head. Very active piece you achieved here with the triangular composition!
Xina54 (Apr 4, 2008)
Oh WOW . . . this is truly magnificent Aakyra. I loved your drawings at SketchFU but my goodness, the tools here obviously suit your talents much better! Without the lag and (hopefully) the risk of loosing your work, I can see why you came here.
Did you draw from a photograph? I rather think not, as this drawing conveys much more than a mere snapshot in time . . . I love the "Don't mess with me!" expression.

This is totally awesome! I love it! ;o)
Aakyra (Apr 4, 2008)
Wow... thanks so much!
Meno (Apr 4, 2008)
Just when I think your horse draws can't get any better, Aakyra ... well, what can I say? It's magnificent. You are making the drawing tools here SING!
gel_o (Apr 5, 2008)
Amazing, as always Aakyra! I may not show my girls this one because you know what will happen. Excellent work!
Aakyra (Apr 6, 2008)
Thanks Meno! Gel-o! It was really fun... working through this peice. I think I may try Photoshop CS2 soon... I have seen some great work done with this program. This is definitely a great way to work through a composition... gives me a much better feel for what might work with traditional tools. As always, I appreciate the nice words, support and encouragement!

Take it from me Aak, you have shown amazing grace here, this is just stunning. Any drawing program you try you will do wonderfully. I love how you captured this animals expression, well done! I have found a new me drawing on the sites we are on, this helps me so much and now my every day draws on other programs are showing what a success this is. You are doing awesome here and everywhere, glad to see you join the dark side!
Aakyra (Apr 6, 2008)
Hi Fuzzy! Thanks for the nice comments! I agree on the programs bringing out the best in the art ... and I am thrilled you have found a new and bigger expression in your art! Dito you friend! I am working on a really challenging pic right now. "Sand Devil" compliments of a photographer at deviant. We will see if your praise is merited... Thanks again Fuzzy!

All hail, Aakyra, queen of the equine pictures, beautiful and stunning, I am so glad that you have mastered the appletes here, you should be quite proud of this one! I knew that the programs would bring everyone from s.f, to rise to greatness...and darlin, you have arrived!
Aakyra (Apr 10, 2008)
