Luna: Water and Inkby *MarbleYarns

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Paintings / Movies & TV

Favorite pony, favorite mediums, & favorite hiking spot.

My entry for *CosmicUnicorn's art challenge, in which we were supposed to draw our favorite pony enjoying nature using any traditional medium.

I used to go hiking all the time, but for the last several months, I haven't gone at all. When I came across this art challenge, I thought it would be a nice opportunity to get myself out hiking again. So, I grabbed my art supplies and went out to my favorite hiking spot. It was an odd feeling...it was almost like that sharp but enjoyable sensation you get when you step into a cool stream for the first time on a hot day. So, I thought it would be proper do have Luna doing the same. I accidentally left my camera at home (which was probably for the better) so the scene was created using the marker sketches I did on location and what was contained in my mind.

This was a delight to create.

Cuando vi esta imagen se me viona a la mente "el toro y a luna", esta genial.
-El Toro y la luna- (Fragmento)
La luna se esta peinando
En los espejos del río
Y un toro
La esta mirando
Entre la jara escondido

Cuando llega
La alegre mañana
Y la luna se escapa del río
Y El torito se mete en el agua
Embistiendo al ver que se ah ido

Nice!

Very lovely work.

The fact that you did this using a traditional media make it even better. Luna is a bigger bonus. Yeah. You remind me I need to go hiking more too.

all the best entries have luna in them , it's only fitting......

This is awesome! Though, at first, I didn't know it was a stream she was in until I noticed the ripples around her hooves and I guess it was too shallow than ones I've ever seen before. But now I appreciate it even more. :-D

AAAAAAAAAAWESOME! You should have received first place ex aequo with

. I love the overall mood of your entry, even if something isn't technically right. (For example things

pointed out; I can't notice anything incorrect here on my own.)

My view on art is: I don't give a f*ck about correctness when mood is awesome.

I'm glad you enjoyed the piece! There were some awesome entries, and ~Sugarcube-Owl's painting was pretty well executed. I agree with you in that being correct just for its own end isn't really necessary (unless that is the purpose of the image), but I do think I could have pushed that feeling of place a litttttle bit further by brightening those reflections. I dunno, as long as it felt right to you, that's what matters. It was a hot day, and the water was so nice with those little bright points of light coming through the leaves...

~elgregorPL Aug 15, 2012

I mean yes, it would look better with those light points, I just didn't think about it until I read

's comment.

Beautiful, I love the style.
