sleeepppyy arts

Well there were a few commissions I really took forever on and I feel quite horrid about it. I have never been grand at drawing equines but for whatever reason I was struck with the mood. This is a way overdue sketchbook commission for [livejournal.com profile] firesplace of her character. Since it took me so long to get it done, I threw on some extra detail/shading work on it. Hope ya like it :).

Are you kidding?

That is a really rather gorgeous equine! There's something nooot quite right with her, but that's just a tiny nitpick.

The pose, the textures, the shading, everything is utterly gorgeous ♥

Also, hi person with an awesome sense for design. Do you think you could have a look at this and say which design you like best? Whenever you have time? :D

dood I meant to tell you that I finished coloring that cougari pic i showed you last night :D but i can't show you till later, cuz it's on my home computer and I didn't put it on photobucket. DO YOU WANT ONE AS A BADGE? I made mine into a badge and it turned out uber cute :3

Let me know girl!

I know you could draw horses :3 I loves it precious :3

H...how D:

Aaah your trad media is simply too awesome. This is pencil, right? How do you make it look so milky and yet... dense at the same time? The liquidy look just kills me. *ded*

Very nice! But then it's an equine and I adore them:)

'Not good with equines'--Pfft! =P You honestly don't give yourself enough credit, Balaa, dear. (_~) I love how the linework just seems to flow from her horn all the way down to the end of her tail. Very lovely! And I'm loving all the Elvish/L.o.t.R. inspired themes going on in a lot of your sketches lately, as well! =D

I have so totally got to comission you when I'm not broke. Maybe when I get my first job one of these years...

Balaa your horses (well... or unicorns xD) have always been beeeeeeeeeeautiful! don't you ever doubt that for a second! :) Beautiful pose, she looks pretty and shy - the drapery is gracefully done as is all the mane and hair; always loved the way you draw hair - so dreamy and flowy. ^^

She's beautiful!

Woah!!! WELL DONE! WHY AM I YELLING.

I don't believe I've actually ever seen any of your horse drawings before...but now that I have, I'm very much amazed! @_@ She looks absolutely lovely Balaa! What I really adore is her mane and tail. :) They're so...flowly looking and beautiful. I've always found it difficult to convincingly place a horses head and neck onto a human body. You've done it marvelously well though! Keep up the great work! =D

BEAutiful!

Hey there little cat type friend!

Hows it going with you and your family? Just thought I would ask! I like to know how all my buds are doing in this great big silly world!

Mayn you really are hard on yourself friend? I do not see what you are complaining about! This is one of the best examples of eqine art I have seen out there! I know beacuse I am one who adores equines! You did a most wonderful job on her to say the least! With that being said could you please let me know when you would have an opening for comissions again! I would love to have your uber talented self draw my dragon character as and anthro, and I would also like to have you draw my horse character! If you nedd the descriptions of either one again please let me know!

Well friend have a most excellent day, and please stop being such a harsh judge on yourself! You and your family take care always! God bless and keep you all safe and happy always!***Gives you a warm friendly hug and says, "My but arnt you one talented artist my little Ligeress friend!"***

This is such a scandelous picture that I had to break out my porn icon, ;)

Seriously though, your real media is easily my favorite of all the stuff you do. The detail in this--especially the hair--is amazing. Your real media sketches have this fantastic feel of realism meshed with art nouveau. I can't imagine firesplace not loving this.

Any chance of getting a comishion from you? I had an idea that I thought would be perfect for your style.
