Epona asked whether I could do a commission for her via a note and since she asked so nicely, and I was feeling muse-ful at the time, I thought I'd give it a go (though I suppose this isn't actually a commision because I'm not getting paid... I don't feel quite right taking money for something like this XD ) It has taken me so long to finish this though (mainly because I had an artistic block when I couldn't find wings/anything to fill the space on the left so i left the image for a few weeks before coming back to it today XD) but I hope it was worth the wait ^_^

It was a very free-reign request, so after she gave me a few ideas, I pretty much thought of what you see above. I guess my main thought when making this picture was all about hope and stuff. I had the hardest time trying to find the right wings for the horse though, so I almost gave up on the wings and used an eagle/birds/a bridge to fill the space XD The wings took the longest to do in fact... My backgrounds are always mega quick to do (providing I have the right stock!). I extended the cliff to the left a bit so that it wouldn't cut the picture in half quite as much. The horse was precut (haha I'm so lazy XD). So that just left the wings. I took me quiiiite a while trying to fix the wings on the horse, but I THINK it's just about passable now...

Hmmm I don't think there's a lot left to say.... Overall, methinks I kinda like it XD Would maybe have liked it to be a little more detailed with some extra bits here and there but I thought that might take away from the simple, clean look that it's got going XD

The Call by Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
I <3 THAT SONG. A LOT.
