Private commission.

Now THIS was a fun challenge! The commissioner requested a Sun and a Moon horse in the style of my planet horses, with the symbols for the other nine planets worked into the border. I chose to make the sun a big draft horse, and the moon a mini (miniature horse, NOT a pony)—which I'm happy with how that turned out. Another fun detail: while Sol is meant to glow with his own light, Luna is merely illuminated by him—as is the case with our real moon. I used textures from both the sun and the moon to decorate their coats. Turns out the surface of our sun is a similar pattern to a dapple gray! XD

There are also some stars in the background, some of them forming a very famous (Northern Hemisphere) constellation. Can you spot it?

Mixed media: colored pencil, inks, and metallic pen on 9"x12" bristol board.

Want to commission me? I have flat rates for badges posted on my main page, and you can find my hourly rates for custom commissions (like this one) posted here: http://www.goldeenogawa.com/artwork/hourly-rates/

Please query first, though, since I'm not always able to take commissions. I will, however, happily discuss future projects and/or give you a quote.
