Wild-Hearts Contest Entry2

Funny…this was supposed to be a new mare by herself, yet somehow evolved into this I wanted to do a new pic because someone had already done a red-golden pheasant. But, I guess I like Faisan so much, I just had to draw her again…this time with the smexy Pavone and a darling new foal ^_^ (I dunno why I wasted my time…I have a pretty good feeling on who is going to win.)

The foal is colored after a Mandarin duck, but her wings are a mixture of her parents’ wings. And in case you’re wondering why Faisan’s mane looks different, it’s because it has been one year since she and Pavone met, and in that time, she has molted. Each time she molts, her mane/crest comes back with different stripe patterns.

Oh, and Alice, Pavone was so fun to draw! He’s such a gorgeous horse. Unfortunately, my rendition of the glorious peacock’s eye feathers pale in comparison to the real thing!

Entry #2 for contest.

Done with colored pencils, my last dying drop of sharpie, and my colorless blender.
