Artist's Comments

I promise I'm working on commissions, I really do. It's just =xxEarthTones's Skala was too good to pass up. This started as another school sketch, where i was bored and just started doodling. Then all of a sudden I was like "Dude I should do Skala!" and started adding her teeth and whatnot. So I hope :iconxxearthtones: doesn't mind, I didn't exactly ask first. :blush:
Good news though for you earthy, your mare has quickly gained popularity with my classmates! I was suprised and unable to keep count of how many people were like "Hey that's really cool. You should make me one." So... yeah, MH really likes your carnivorous equines! :D
------------------------------
Lineart:Done first with a pencil, then traced over and refined with a black micron pen.

Color: Done in Corel Painter Essentials 3, with a blender and airbrush, and 27 layers.

Time Taken: As a whole, including the time it took me to do the lineart, 5 days. One day for lines, 4 days for color. I also tried really hard to get the shading right and do a little more than just a highlight or two. I'm actually pretty proud of the shading, actually.

Reference: None for the lineart. It was sketched at school, so I didn't exactly have a picture to go by. As for coloring Skala herself, I used her first ref sheet. I apologize for any mistakes I made, bc I only had the old ref and not one of the newer ones!

:lol: you don't have to change anything! I love her in all her forms :heart:
Well not really because I don't want a bunch of Skala look-a-likes (because I've seen like 5 already :shakefist: ) but... I don't know, I'd have to think about it. The thing is that colors (red, blue, green, ect) are all extremely recessive gene mutations in the Drauf breed and don't normally occur. Bay, black, primitive dun, and gray with large white markings are the normal colors for them.
I may make an exception but I'd have to think about it first.

Yep and my computer looks damn pretty with Skala on there now! :D

kewlsness! :lol:
:noes: NOO!!! Skala look-a-likes would be BAD! because there are truely no draufs as cool as her!
But hey, that's cool. I can totally understand that you would need to think things over, especially because these horses are so cool. So please just let me know, whether your answer be yes or no. Take your time, i is in no hurry! :D
