I'm trying to adopt the beautiful Anya from ~Rajial :)

She's a very beautiful fillie and as the rules said, pictured as both an adult and filly. I started to wonder how to show them both, I had about five different ideas but this one is the only one I got to work properly.
My tablet pen was lagging about 90% time and I think it shows in the quality, I had to do some... creative solutions when colouring etc, but I still think the adult!Anya is the best black horse I've ever done :XD:

Anyhow, for the drawing itself. The idea is that how could one meet herself from the past? In dreams, of course. I don't know if this is a dream of adult Anya of the fillie one, but the adult one recognizes herself as a foal, as the stubborn and angry youngster she was. That's why she's smiling - she knows what is to come and what she'll be in life, even though as a filly she yet doesn't ;)

Her personality was described as head-strong, stubborn and even aggressive. In time (like when she would be more close to 20 years) she probably will calm down and be less aggressive, but before that she'd be worked with towards mutual trust and understanding.
She would be residence in Uniq ( ~uniqhorses ) as a showing horse, because her nature is not fitting for breeding.
However, I'm sure she'd make a dashing show horse with those beautiful markings and strong nature; her aggression and will just need to be put in the right direction. That would be our life-long goal with Anya :)

Why I got interested on this little black mare? Because her blue eyes hold such spunk and character, that I just couldn't pass her without trying. Wish me luck!

Info:
Name: Anya (would also get an offical barn name in the same lines)
Age: weaned filly
Breed: mustang
Height: will mature around 15hh at max
Colour and markings: Black paint with marking going over back to the other side, white spot on right hip and all-white leg (and hoof) on front right, six-pointed star on the forhead.
Background: Trying to buy her from ~Rajial , mother is her mare Mischa. Father unknown mustang.
Personality: Head-strong, stubborn, aggressive to others. Somewhat untrusting, needs same persons around her and takes time to get adjusted to new things. When her trust is won over, a happy worker who has lot of "scope".
Discpline: N/A, would be trained in basic dressage and show jumping, even though she will be small in size, she has enough spunk to take on the bigger horses.


drawing infos;
- all work (except watermark) done in Paint Tool Sai
- took loads of time (because the pen was laggy, hopefully looks good enough)
- all refs from personal sources (own/friends photos)

aww tää on sulonen ^^ hyvältä näyttää, en olis ehkä tehny tosta mustasta ihan niin mustaa ja varsasta ehkä vähän ruskeemman ;)
:iconkalmanen:
Kiitoksia ^^. Nojoo, mustan sävy nyt oli vähän niin ja näin; se riippuu näytöstäkin miten tummalta se näyttää. Varsasta halusin tuollaisen harmahtavan sävyisen (ei ruskeaa) ihan sillä, että se on ns. true black eikä siis semmonen mustanruunikko :D

Just beautiful. You certainly did a splendid job on Anya, especially as a mare. I like that you took hold of the reigns (no pun intended...) and designed her right side immediately. I'll let you know when I've decided a final owner which should be within the next week. Thankyou! :)
