nice sketches. are they all elements in a greater composition? I’d like to see that. great stuff. I love the expressions you achieve on the characters.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m hoping to get started on the full pic in the next couple days (fingers crossed!)…
The best indicator of what I’m aiming at is the concept sketch on the second page (the one with all the greenery). If you can picture the other sketches integrated into that… then you might get an idea of where it’s going… ehm… or just be really confused!

Think it’s about time I posted some updates!
This was a bit of a pain to do - didn’t really enjoy it, but I perservered cause I knew it would make the painting go more smoothly.
I was going to take it further than this but got bored. Still - it gave me a good start! 
I’ll post the first colour in a moment…

This has to be one of the most fun stages - as it progesses very quickly from dull lines to full colour scene! 
It looks quite tight at this size - but this is just the basic block in. I’ve already spent several hours on it since, so I’ve filled in some more details (like a proper harness and umm… sticky out wood-things that go either side of the pony…).
I’m also toying with a sign post in the foreground - looks quite funky, but I haven’t decided whether to include it yet.
I’ll post another update once I’ve got it feeling more coherent…

This is looking really promising! Nice light, great subject and lots of cool characters, including a horse! I just looked at your first page and the ‘no last minute rushes’ comment… i reckon you’ve got some rushing to do! 
Good luck with it (and Painter’s Acrylics!)

Did I say that?!!! Surely not I?!! 
Yes… a bit of rushing indeed I have to do… BUT - Thankfully I’m in a much better position than the last 2 challenges!
Elendil - Thankyou!

Sorry I haven’t posted sooner, but I have still got loads to do on it…
Lots of detailing, refining, and some general fixing and balancing.
Thanks for looking!

Another Whirlwind Adventure!
A warm zephyr blew through the valley. The grass rippled, and the leaves seemed to dance as if sharing in the fun. This promised to be another grand adventure! The beer flowed, and the song along with it. All was well
except somewhere amongst the throng of merriment, someone wasnt quite as overjoyed as the rest
Oh yeah
happy, happy
joy, joy
Bleh!
If this is going to be anything like the last one Thought Bill the Pony
I think I might just take a long walk off the next available cliff

I made a few minor alterations before uploading the full image. The changes are barely noticeable, but I thought I’d post it anyway…
And I just want to say congratulations to everone who got their pics finished - and the very best of luck to you all!

Slav - Thanks! - Good job on yours too!
Sacha - Cheers! - Glad you like it! It was a bit different to my usual stuff - I decided to go with a simple theme this time - wanted something focussed and refined. Hope I suceeded! Sorry you didn’t get one finished…
Mona - Thankyou - The foliage was tough work - especially the trees! I was trying to achieve a natural look - I think I did ok, but trees are really complex - I could have worked on them a lot longer…
