Meadow Hill EC ~Come adopt!
You car pulls down a cobblestone driveway. You have been looking for a place to adopt a horse. You came across this equestrian center and had decided to check it out. They had large paddocks with horses grazing peacefully inside. Some held proud and graceful stallions, and others sweet and loving mares. Which horse to choose? There were many to choose from. You parked and climbed out of your car, a large stone mansion standing in front of you. The stables were off to the right and a girl ran over to you from the stables "Looking to adopt a horse?" She chimed smiling "Well, you came to the right place, follow me to the adoption pasture so you can begin."

The final of the neapolitan triplets, this girl is a little different from the other two. Her name is Mocha, and she will be up for adoption shortly. :3

Another neapolitan girl, this one just a little more feminine than the first (her name is Lisi). Should be up for adoption very soon, isn't yet. :3

A pretty neapolitan girl named Mira! Should be up for adoption on the main page soon. :3

What does her coloring remind you of?: Cold water. Very cold. But as you know, I'm not going to stop describing her there. Let me start with the month of January. It's been below freezing for a while now, far to long for any sane person's liking, and the only thing that keeps the ice from taking over your small pond is the constant attendance of you and your trusty sledge hammer. You trudge out through the snow everyday, and beat a new hole in the surface for your waterfowl to make use of. But alas, by night, a new layer of ice has formed. It's still thin, yes, but it won't be by dawn. It will creep its way further and further into your masterpiece, despite your best efforts, and you'll have to force it back yet again. Maybe, even, you will have to drag the shovel along too, and lift the monstrous chunks away before they freeze in with the new layer. On a particularly grueling day, you might even find yourself just staring at it, vengeful as well as contemplative as you wage war against the impossible. No compromises here, just an endless vendetta that will only halt with the changing seasons. But, at this point of it's stubborn plight, just as night is about to fall on the 30th day in a row, is when a flurry kicks up. The last duck went running for the barn a few hours ago, unable to take the harsh extremes, and the ice has already grown about a half an inch thick. It's perfectly smooth, pristine, like a pane of glass, and tiny white bubbles remain trapped in it's midst as the black water sluggishly swirls beneath. Cold enough at this point, to any human unlucky enough to fall in, that Hypothermia could take hold in less than a minute. As the snow flakes gently fall from the hushed world of twilight, they begin to collect on a single, larger piece of ice. You became sloppy in your rush to get it over with, missing this one piece, and you'll probably hate yourself for it in the morning. Though in reality, when there's not a battle of wills and necessity raging on, it's quite beautiful. Elegant, this thicker piece of ice, a lighter grey toward it's center, and then fading off with the smaller chips into a black abyss. And as the flurry comes to a halt, and dusk slips into night, this is what I find myself seeing in this Boreal Mare. A collection of ice thicknesses, blended into the darkness below by a burst of fresh snow.

Describe how you feel about me as an artist? Okay, here we go. I'm sorry if I get disorganized in this, answering questions directly can actually be a downfall for me. I'll try my hardest!

I'll start with the first question. I discovered you art through chickensmoothie in a somewhat random way. First I saw your oekaki around those boards, I looked at them and moved on. That's how I do with most oekaki, I think the pictures are nice but I generally don't comment. The only oekaki I tend to comment on are close friends, so please don't feel insulted by this! Well, after a bit of that I found this thread. After looking through the designs I noticed your name again, tied the oekaki and designs together, and figured out who you were. From then on I enjoyed looking at your designs, I've wanted to go for quite a few but most were already closed or the ending date was too soon. As for the art itself, I think it's lovely. It looks like you put a lot of effort in to it, of course you're the only one who truly knows. The shading and colouring looks smooth on your traditional work, something that I can struggle with a lot! It's very impressive to see smooth colouring, especially, since I know how much of a pain it can be to make it look good. So in short; I think it looks like you put effort in to it, yes.

Actually, yes, I did see your paintings! The purple horse painting titled ' Let me run! ' is impressive as heck for your third try, let me say. I dabbled in paints for a while...it didn't last long. Paints and my hand do not work, your third is tons better than my more recent paintings. (I've done about...eh fourteen or so now.) Paint is a very hard medium to master, and I hope you'll continue to grow with it! One thing I love about the painting is the way you managed to fade a strong color in to white very fluidly, I've always had a hard time doing things like that. I also enjoyed looking through the statues you painted; another impressive feat. Those things have ALWAYS given me trouble.

As for your improvement as an artist, yes you have. From your first oekaki drawings and designs to now, the improvement is extremely obvious. The drawings have a better grip of anatomy and the like, and the designs are mroe than just colors thrown on. I adore the designs you make, which is why I'm trying out for this beauty! I think you've got great skill, and drawing horses is quite a challenge. I respect people who can draw horses, their bodies are so different and difficult to grasp. I hope you continue with them, I'd love to see your works in a year or so. They'll probably have improved even more, I know I love looking back at my old things to see how I've grown. I wish you luck with your horses, keep pursuing them further!

If you weren't an artist would I still want your designs? Hail yes. As I mentioned up in that paragraph above, your designs are STUNNING. That's why I'm so psyched for this one! If this were just a regular horse design I would still want it. The markings are lovely, the colors are smooth, and the choice of placement of everything is wonderful. I also really love the touch of adding a more transparent ring around the blotches of brown color, that is so fun to draw and look at. My thing is this: When I see a design, a personality and name should pop up to me very soon after. If they don't, the design isn't important enough for me and I shouldn't have it. Well, as you can see from my name form up there, I couldn't even pick a name! 4 names actually came to mind for this one, but I slimmed it down to the two that rest up there. If I win I'll have to pick, maybe a randomizer or something, haha. You seem tp pay a lot of detail to your designs, adding little things that are amazing such as the pink spots, they already mentioned semi-transparent rings, the stripes on the tail to add composition, and the gradient-ish look of the brown getting darker as it goes down. This design is really stunning, and it'll be much easier to draw than say, a tan Equid. I have tons of brown pencils, whoo! So all this said, yes I would most definitely adopt from you if you weren't signed with WME.

As for comparing to a better artist, not really. First off, I tend to only compare myself to better artists. I can't think of a time when I've looked at someone else's art and thought " You know, this person isn't as good as this person. " I just really haven't. I compare myself to other artists a lot, but I find it sort of rude to compare other people to other artists, especially if they don't want to be compared. I can be rude to myself, lol. And for why you do art, the last question. To be frank and honest; no I do not. I don't know your brain, but I can always take a few guesses. I do art because it's something to do when I'm bored, I find it fun, and I love animals and creating things. So maybe you're the same reason? I know you love horses, so maybe you draw because of that? It is fun, so I think that's another reason. i think every artist probably does art for fun in some ways, otherwise it's not enjoyable for them. So I can't really directly answer this question, sorry about that.

Okay, and I think that's about all I have to say. I hope I answered the questions okay, I probably went off track a lot but I tried my hardest. xD

Thanks for a chance at this beauty!

Sea Dogs are dogs that don't live in the sea, but love water. The come in all colors and designs, though darker colored ones tend to be more timid them brightly colored ones. SDs are often called Fin dogs because of their fin like tail tip, though it has really no purpose, and is just a trait of the species. Some Sea Dogs have more natural colors with brindle markings. SDs are the same size as adult golden retrievers, and their puppies are the same size as golden retriever puppies.
