Artist's Comments

I dug out my Smithsonian Handbook on Horses and was flipping through it. Came across an interesting breed called a Karabakh. Apparently this horse breed has been around from about 12th century, and slowly going extinct. I think they mentioned (via wiki) about 1000 left.

The breed's history is in association with Arabians and Akhal-Tekes.

Honestly the image was a sketch I decided to finish. The anatomy is off for the breed. It should be lighter. I was also intrigued by the fact the breed comes in something called 'Metallic Chestnut and Metallic Bay'. I attempted the Metallic Chestnut.

Gorgeous, Frisket! I really love how you draw horses in your style, they have so much movement, balance and grace to them. I wish you'd draw horses more actually XD they look so good. :heart:
