Description
A couple horses I've painted. Both inspired by my fantasy series, "The Chronicles of Golide."
The Seafoam horses are ridden by an army of the Elan, who have been kept in statis for over a thousand years. Powerful magic, only able to work on the women. Their horses were combined with the surf, to remain strong crashing against the shoreline until the day they would be called forth.
Andarion is a King among horses, and is much more than just a dumb riding animal. Truth be told, most of my readers cite him as their favorite character. Not easy painting a black horse in an interesting way, and difficult to get a picture that truly showcases it well. There's a lot more depth than you can see.
Some of my favorite work, both of them.
These were both converted from Unicorn models from Reaper. It's actually hard to find good horse miniatures. Oddly enough. Sure, they exist, but they aren't given the same level of care that they deserve. I'd love for one of the better companies (like Dark Sword Miniatures) to do a whole set of different breeds, poses, and tack.

Very cool, I have a friend who painted me several lead miniatures.

That's awesome! I'm getting ready to paint one for my friend for his birthday. He's 21 this year, and I figure I'll probably be the only person not buying him alcohol.

My friend...If I am commenting it is because your art intrigues me. Today though, my comment is a blanket message to all of my wonderful friends here. You see, I recently traveled due to a medical condition and missed most of what you posted this week.
My result is that I have a potentially life ending condition, ... BUT ...There are good chances for a moderate to full recovery. That means many more years of seeing your wonderful art. Please accept my apology for missing this week. Know that I am enjoying my gallery visit today. If you get multiple comments from me today, there is no need to read further.
If for any reason you are experiencing lung problems, feel free to contact me and I will gladly share more detail with you on my experiences.
All My Best ... Dag
LyleAryn
Thanks for the update!

Nice!
Perhaps I should post some photos of mine. Not got many left now, I sold a lot of them on, and I don't have the steady hands I used to have to do them much any more, but I've still got one or two choice bits I could post.
Thanks for the inspiration!
LyleAryn
Totally do it! We could start a trend!
