Son of the Night

Here we go! Another commission
------

This one was actually a LOT of fun to do, and it was challenging because I liked two horses as references so I wanted to put them together. (I erased and scribbled and re-drew about a million times to get this looking like a normal horse). I personally like the darker side of animals anyways - and this particular character (Velis) is supposed to be basically a zombie horse. I didn't want him looking too macabre though because the request was labeled as "Dark and Romantic", which to me is a pleasant blend.

Extra: This character specifically is obsessed with the night, which is why I added the hazy moon in the background, and due to his 'undead' status he sometimes can be described with an eerie green glow (OHMYGOSH I spent forever trying to make different glows and fogs.) His eyes also glow white, and I enjoyed that part. Altogether he really came out looking fantastic!

EDIT: this isn't showing up on the submission page so I hope that when I submit it, it'll be view-able. If not bear with me while I try to fix it.
