This is a picture of a Companion (intelligent 'horses' from Mercades Lackey books) based off an image on the back of a book. Though I mostly used the picture for the shading, it's hard working on black paper. It turned out better then I expected and over all I'm pleased. Prismacolours on black art paper.

Isn't black paper so much fun? And it's a Companion - I really must try drawing one someday. Beautiful, very well done - only question, I thought the eyes were supposed to be blue?

Oh my gosh, I just *LOVE* those books! My fave is the Last Herald-Mage Trilogy. ah, so sad! But I really like the Companions, esp. Yfandes, whose chosen is Vanyel, the man character. ooooooh, yay! Vanyels such a hottie ... even if he is shaych 12

But anyways, very nice piece. It really shows the way I think about the companions. You know, the more I look at it it seems as if this might kind of show that the whole horse's body thing is just a shell, ya know? and that inside is something completely different? Ah well, anyways, I really like it. I'll stop rambling now 2

Companion! I just read the Herald- Mage books last week, and I fell in love with them. This is a beautiful representation, and wonderfully chosen media for it.

Incredible dimentions... I can usually find something wrong with horses; not yours. I also think the black background hilights her beautifully. Keep up the wonderful work.
And thier eyes can be any shade of blue. I believe ML mentions in "Brightly Burning" that Rolon’s eyes are a deeper shade of blue than Lavan’s Kalira.
