Asfaloth

Finally, after around 15 hours of work, he's finished!

Even I'm surprised with how good this turned out, I didn't expect it to be nearly as good. But I'm very pleased I decided to actually be patient and draw every.single.hair There were about 5 layers of colour for his coat alone! But as they say, patience is a virtue, and it works fairly well too ^_^

Asfaloth from The Lord Of The Rings Got to love this big beauty

I think I'm going to do a mini series of horses from The Lord Of The Rings. So the next ones I'll do at some point will be Shadowfax, the Nazgul's horses, the Rohirrim and the little pony Bill from the first movie, because he's adorable

Everything is hand painted with a graphics tablet (except for those little sparkles, which are from a brush set that I cant remember o.o)

Entering into contest, theme two 'Emotive Fantasy Horses', because he's just beautiful And what a runner too!
"Noro lim, Asfaloth, Noro lim!"
