SciFi and Fantasy Art: Into Darkness

This is a character from my story, she's a unicorn, though not in her true form at the moment.

She looks like a regular horse, eh? Well, do regular horses have green eyes? :P She's kind of like a buttermilk buckskin, except her markings and color are not quite. She's white with black markings, mane, and tail. That's what separates her from normal equines.

That's why she has to keep running.

I spent well over eight hours on this piece, and though it's my best colored pencil piece so far, there are some shading issues. It's very, very hard for me to draw an entire background in colored pencils, I almost always resort to my acrylics XD

I think this is also the first time I've used SO much color.

I realized;

- grass is retarded and really hard to draw

- sunlight is super hard to get right

- it's a good idea to layer colors, but not when it begins to look like a hulking blob of preety colors XD

There's more of a story to where she's going (or more importantly, where she's been?), but I have yet to write that.
