I've finished it I must say that mountains + conifers (another new word to learn for me ) are soo hard to paint. I have used there a couple of photo references, for example this one: [link] You have to know that there I had any guidelines for the BG, so it was my own idea to hurt my hand with this challenge xD
I like how the horses turned out Aren't too shiny, but also not flat... maybe I have to paint more in this style, what do you think about it?
Aarlyn is so sweet mare, it was a nice experience to draw her, but at the beginning I had no reference for the Flynn so designing him was really something more ^^
