#horseart — Public Fediverse posts

Not bad for a DIY frame job using a frame and mat board I had leftover from a previous project. I don't usually bother framing stuff, but this is going to a (small, low-key, just for fun) art show so I wanted it to look nice.

#HorseArt

Making progress.

I spent so much time picking dog hair out of the epoxy coating that it hardened too much and I had to mix up a new batch to finish. 😭

#HorseArt

All I got in my right now are simple, weird, sketches. (Started with just the head in profile and then was like "lets see if I can cram the rest of body in there".)

#HorseArt #UnicornArt

Working on some things.

#HorseArt

Why are horse lips so hard to get right? 😭

(Referenced from a picture of my horse.)

#HorseArt

I haven't drawn horses for a long time, but I was inspired. It's a gift for a horse sanctuary. They are very nice people and take care of old and sick horses, and I like to support them with more than just a membership.
Feel free to also support them with a small or big donation, if you want! =) Every bit helps https://www.pferdegnadenhof.de/spenden/

Trying to decide if I like where this is going or if I've already over-worked it. Hmmm. Work-in-progress.

#HorseArt #UnicornArt

Changing it up by sketching my partner's horse (from a photo). A lot of people think she's mean or aggressive, but in reality she just has a strong resting mare face. Although she is often annoyed by how much stupidity she has to deal with, from both humans and horses.

#HorseArt

Drawing horses helps me remember who I am.

I hear some of you like progress posts, so here's a thread on the creation of this piece. Lest you think I'm actually planning things in advance, I'll also provide commentary at each stage.

So, here's the picture I started with. This is my horse being dramatic on a snowy day.

Think this is done? Will probably stare at it a bit longer.

Acrylic on Clayboard. I'm not sure I like clayboard for acrylic. Referenced from a photo of my horse.

#HorseArt #TraditionalArt

Been playing with this for a few days. Think I might be happy with it now? May need to look at it longer.

How does the foreshortening read to you?

#HorseArt #UnicornArt #CreatureDesign

Another horse-creature sketch with foreshortening. Don't think the anatomy quite works, but, well, it's a sketch.

#HorseArt #UnicornArt #CreatureDesign

10,000 rhino horn drawings later...(just kidding, it was only like 100 😭)

This is probably as far as I can push it. Making the lower horn "bulge" more makes it just look like it's positioned lower on the nose, which looks more wrong.

#CreatureDesign #HorseArt #UnicornArt

damn i forgor to toot it lol. was one of the last attacks on artfight this year, another experiment to not allow myself to overrender it and to make it look kinda ethereal and all that.
i'll attach close-up screenshots in replies.

#ArtRepostJuly Day 31: Favorite

I have a hard time picking favorites, but I'd been wanting to 3d model and print my own horse skull for years before I finally leveled up my skills enough to pull it off!

(Includes the brain and nasal cavities, and the foramens I could map out.)

#SciArt #HorseArt

#ArtRepostJuly Day 30: Black & White

Haven't really done much "finished" black and white work, so here's a sketch I'd like to do more with someday. Inspired by me misreading something as "Planet Eater Unicorn".

#HorseArt #DarkArt #UnicornArt

#ArtRepostJuly Day 27: Purple

I like horse-creatures and extreme foreshortening.

#HorseArt #CreatureDesign #DarkArt

Better? Still not quite sure the horn foreshortening reads. Tell me if it works, or doesn't, for you.

#HorseArt #CreatureDesign

I like epic foreshortening almost as much as I like horse-creatures. This didn't quite work the way I'd hoped, but maybe I'll get it right next time.

#HorseArt #CreatureDesign

Working on getting that nose-wrinkle. Didn't quit nail it here, but it's fine. Referenced from a picture of my horse.

#HorseArt

Yep, another sketch of my horse. She's doing her llama impression. Referenced from a photo.

#HorseArt

Experimenting with stuff. Might eventually do something with it, might not.

(Beads are 3d printed in clear resin, trying some different paints/inks.)

#HorseArt

Another attempt at capturing my horse's weird facial expressions. It's harder from the front.

#HorseArt

Just horsin’ around. Main character of a larger flat art piece I have in mind… just adding this to the pile of unfinished pieces sitting in my Procreate WIP folder.

#art #digitalart #wip #flatart #spirit #spiritstallionofthecimarron #horseart #equineart #fanart

More sketching my horse's facial expressions. Really like the way this one turned out. Referenced from a picture.

#HorseArt

Another horse sketch. From a picture of my horse. I'm trying to better capture her weird facial expressions and playful body language.

(Since I'm kinda limited to sketching for the time being, might as well work on improving some things.)

Horse time

So the barn my horse lives at is hosting a little art show. And I figured it might be fun to submit something, but I looked at my recent horse art and uhm....

Not really the right audience. Might have to make something new.

#DarkArt #HorseArt

See, I can draw nice, normal unicorns! Sometimes.

This is fine, but somewhere along the way it lost the "playfulness" I liked in the picture I was referencing. May try again.

#Junicorn #HorseArt #UnicornArt

Made a terrible comic for #MakeATerribleComicDay. This is what happens when you give the Grumpy Roan Mare a treat.

(Yes, the framing is bad and the line-work is rough, and you can see my eraser-marks. I could probably fix those but it's not Make a Mediocre Comic Day now is it?)

#HorseArt

Initial test print of the bones in a horse's foot, which will be one piece of a model showing the main structures in the hoof. Think I'm going to scale it down a little bit, and make a few changes, but looks neat so far! Tan is rigid, white is flexible.

Spent way too long working on this, but it kept me entertained. Year 2026 is "Fire Horse", so I decided to draw one.

(Krita, using a photo of my horse for reference. I don't do much digital drawing/painting anymore, so I have to relearn every time.)

Forgot to mention that my 3d printed Horse Pelvis with flexible ligaments is finally listed on my Etsy shop! The bones are rigid, but the ligaments are a rubber-like material (TPU) so they flex/stretch a bit.
