Oh my god I can't believe I actually finished this. Thank you very, very much to all who came by during my stream. Special thanks to Archidaequiem and RenonVesir, I would have given up on this if not for their support. And thanks to Kitsunekei1 because he has been helping me A LOT at learning to draw animals ♥
So yeah, this is Sain and a nightmare (I dunno if it's his nightmare, but yeah). Sain's kin wield a dark aura which provokes unreasonable fear from other creatures, especially from animals. Nighmares are creatures that also have a dark aura and are the only kind of animals that can enjoy the company of someone like Sain.
This picture gives me TONS of feels sob.
You can look at the sketch HERE

Oh Aya, thanks. I really wanted to work this piece because it gives me lots of feels. in the end it turned out to be something completely different than what I pictured in my head but i think this color scheme suited better the mood of the overall thing.
Oh god that mane was a pain to paint, i swear. You know it, I wanted to quit many times because i didn't feel skillful enough to portray properly what I wanted but you didn't let me, and I'm thankful for that. I too like a lot what I did on Sain's expression, I was afraid I'd lost it after inking as it usually happens but I didn't and it's one of the things about this pic that makes me feel so satisfied.
Animals are very tricky but as most things, all you need is practice. i'm sure you can do it too if you put enough effort on it.
I wouldn't have been able to finish this if not for your support. Thank you very much ♥

Crow, you really shouldn't be so hard on yourself. This piece is BEAUTIFUL.
You did absolutely amazing on the lighting, I love the way the mane glows and how it shines down on Sain. Sain looks like he's so gentle, he's barely touching the Nightmare. The lighting on top of his ears and his hair, his shoulders.. his neck. You got it all perfectly. ;v;
Also, you can draw horses. ;v; I still suck bad at animals, you did a damn good job on the Nightmare, it's beautiful. I love where you chose to put its horns.
My favorite part of this is definitely Sain's eyes. You can just see the melancholic expression in them. His sad little smile, it's almost shy but not quite.
Sob I want to touch them both. ;v;
You did excellent on this and you should really color more like this. You'd feel more comfortable if you did it more. :3
You did an amazing job and don't even try to tell me otherwise.
