This is I think my first complete digital painting. The lineart I hand-drew during the time I didnt have a computer. Then once acquiring one, I scanned it in, and did the rest in photoshop. Im really quite happy with this one; the bg is simple but thats how I wanted it.
The horses name is Kinderfeld. Hes a character of mine that Ive had for quite some time. His family tree is one which I created in my first years of roleplaying. Its kind of a twisted sort of tree, but thats what I like about it. Basically, this guy is the half-brother and cousin of my other character, Redemption, who I played on the the Path of the Moon many moons ago (hehe). Redemption was and still is a favorite character of mine, and whilst writing for him I came up with a story for his past, as well as a few long lost relatives. Ive also rped this pairs (Kinderfeld and Redemption) father, Mesecoth. Basically, Mesecoth bred two sisters near the same time and had a son by both of them. (Redemption is the elder by a couple months).
Kinderfeld is supposed to be a villian type. Smooth and charismatic whilst weaving webs of deception. Hes quite hard to get close to. I wanted to portray his personality in this image, and so chose a darker theme.
I started this about a week ago. Worked on it day by day bit by bit and am glad to finally have it up here. Everything is hand drawn, no references. I dont like how his coat color came out, dappled grey is still beyond me I suppose. And I spent too much time on the mane and tail, though its probably not obvious from looking at it.
