Responsible Rain Rain looked out at the darkening clouds and shuddered. There had to be an answer! But what else could she do? This wasn't any way to start a holiday. And when their parents found out —

She fiddled with the blinds, toying in her mind with the notion of going back out and searching for her sister. Sunny wasn't too far gone — was she? How was there any way to know? The swirling purple vortex that had swallowed the poor girl wasn’t like anything Rain had seen before. The rules could be impossible to fathom — but her sister was gone, and any moment now, her parents would emerge from the bedroom and there'd be hell to

Caity's World, Part 15 The old kerosene lamp flickered dimly, which was perhaps for the best as neither Caitlyn nor Kim-na wanted to see much of their surroundings. The thin layer of sludge clinging to their hooves was covered in a layer of water about a foot deep, or at least Caitlyn hoped it was water. It swirled around her bare ankles and reminded her of the time as a young girl that she’d gone down to the river after the spring rains and waded in the slurping, hungry quicksand-like mud at the shoreline to see the blooming lilies. She tried to console herself that the sludge was just mud, but somehow, she couldn’t quite produce a convincing argumen

Caity's World, Part 14 Caitlyn sat glued to the floor, awestruck, and had she not had her forelegs and butt firmly planted on it, she was certain she would have fallen over. “That’s — I mean — but...” she trailed off.

“Wise man say, do not speak until your thoughts are worthy of being heard,” said Ji-Cheng dully, settling back down into his tub.

“How can my father be alive!?” she cried. “I’ve been to his grave! I — I helped choose the words for the stone...”

“You are here, are you not?” asked Ji-Cheng.

“Yes, but — ”

I do - WIP1by *phantom-inker

Digital Art / Vector / People

In a little over three months' time, I'm going to be married, and in preparation for that, I've been working on this picture, off-and-on, for a few weeks now. My lovely future wife, ~sngbrd2002, and I are both centaur-holics and anime fanatics and incurable romantics, and I wanted to draw a picture that showed all those together, that showed what she and I will really be seeing when we stand at the altar. The rest of the room won't be seeing this, but you better believe we'll be seeing it

I don't know what her dress looks like, so this is somewhat of a guess; it's also been trimmed a bit to fit an equine half. Her hair, though, is going to be done pretty much exactly like that, and that's my exact tux from Men's Wearhouse.

This is... golly, maybe fifteen hours so far. There's a lot more detail to add: The hands need to be drawn for real, and everything needs shading (I'm going to be a speckled grey shade that she absolutely loves every time she sees it).

The final version of this will probably be printed large and hung over our bed.

Edit: This now has correct colors: Songbird says her dress and my vest and shirt are ivory, not white, despite the picture she showed me, so they're now ivory here too. Yay for ivory!

Fantastic! I can appreciate all the work you've put into this, as I'm sure Songbird does as well.

I could visualize a centauress in various shirts, but never a dress. Somehow you've made the dress work beautifully. I kind of like it without the shading--it fits the simplicity of the lines. Nice touch with the ivory.

Thankee! We love being married. It's been nearly six months now, and I'll tell ya, when you find the right person, it makes everything in every day seem better. I do plan to finish this picture, and we really will have it hanging over our bed in the bedroom in the not-too-distant future (I hope).

Your Picture of the upcoming Wedding looks very Romantic! I Wish you & your bride to be a long, Happy & Healthy life together!

Thanks, Don! One of these days I really have to get you those photos I promised you. I actually started this before we talked about a wedding picture, and, well, I'm hoping to have it completed in time for the wedding. But I still do hope to get you those photos; we'd love to have a genuine Ric original hanging on our wall.

This is really cool. I'm also a taur fan myself. BTW, do you do requests or commissions? Just curious. ^^

*phantom-inker Jul 20, 2008 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thanks, but sorry, no, I don't. I posted about this in my journal some months ago: [link]

~dragonheart07 Jul 20, 2008 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I see. But that's okay. ^^ For once, I sure like to see your take one day on anthro centaurs on popular anthro characters like the Egyptian god Anubis as a taur or something. But hey that's just me. Keep up the good work.
