Artist's Comments

:w00t: Yay for contest entries! :XD: I couldn't resist when I saw this contest, and it was loads of fun too! :boogie:

This is my entry for =silverglass19's contest, and here are my two new Bacabellos! :boogie: I remember Liz said that their markings give off a slight glow at night, and that lead me to draw Xipilli and Nenetl! :aww: So here they are, off for a night run while the stars are still out but the sun is slowly making it's way back to the land, and the sky turns purple and pink in the distance. Xipilli and Nenetl run across the open plains while the moonlight dances around and makes their coats sparkle and their markings glow.

:star: Xipilli :star:
:bulletred: Name: Xipilli, which means 'jewelled prince' in Nahuatl, pronounced 'shee-pill-ee'.
:bulletorange: Breed: Bacabello X Arabian
:bulletyellow: Gender: Stallion.
:bulletgreen: Age: 45.
:bulletblue: Colouring: Palomino Rust Bacabello.
:bulletpurple: Tattoo: Signed just before croup, both sides. Identical marking.
:bulletwhite: Jewellery: Two wide silver bands on both rear legs above the fetlock.
:bulletblack: Abilities: Ability to heal oneself and others rapidly, such as flesh wounds and bone breaks.

:star: Nenetl :star:
:bulletred: Name: Nenetl, which means 'doll' in Nahuatl, pronounced 'nen-ett'.
:bulletorange: Breed: Bacabello.
:bulletyellow: Gender: Filly.
:bulletgreen: Age: 6 months.
:bulletblue: Colouring: Palomino Moss Bacabella.
:bulletpurple: Tattoo: None yet, when older will receive small signed flower-like pattern on quarters.
:bulletwhite: Jewellery: None yet.
:bulletblack: Abilities: None yet.

These two were tons of fun to draw and design! And it was great to get back into the drawing chair, hehe I couldn't remember how to draw with my tablet when I got home! :lmao: I hope this doesn't bear too much resemblance to any other entries, I spent ages going through them trying to eliminate all the different combinations before settling on one! :giggle: I know the little one doesn't take too much after her mother, it was hard to try and combine Akhalaia and Xipilli! And if these guys don't win or place, I'll definitely have to get them into my herd somehow! :D

If we spent every minute of our lives thanking God for all that He has done, that still wouldn't be enough. :pray:

Wow. :wow: :wow: :wow: This looks SO COMPLETELY AMAZING! :faint: You are amazing, Dana. :love:

Where do I start!? The anatomy, the creative glow! The glow would be SO hard to do traditionally. The marks are SO creative, and the mane and tail flow so well with the picture. The background is gorgeous- it fits the entire pic so easily. You are such an amazing artist, Dana! :glomp: :dance:

That iridescant orange looks beautiful, it almost mirrors the fireflies :love:. Great work converting their colours to night tones, while still retaining a glossy look to their coats :nod:.

:D It's not that she's fearless, it's merely a sheer lack of self-preservation. :D

The closest thing I can imagine to the thrill of being on a horse that is clearing big fences at speed is zooming down an icy mountain slope on skis :giggle:
