Artist's Comments

Well, obviously this is some Harry Potter fanart, and ever since I read that book in particular (can't remember which number, aheh ^^;) I had imagined what the Thestrals might look like in my mind.... and I gotta say, it was quite a challenge to draw these horse-like beasts, I needed a lot of referencing, and did quite a bit of reasearch for the anatomy. I still think they look stubby (as in, short..) but perhaps they're just a shorter variety of thestral, just like all those different kinds of horses one might encounter. (:slow: What an excuse, lol..) Also.. I know they're supposed to be way skinnier.. but I dunno. I tried to maek them skinny, but it didn't work, heh.. Anyway, acrylics are tough, I find, and this pic lacks the usual detail I like to have in my pics.. but all in all, I'm very happy with the way it turned out... even though it took me for-freakin ever. :faint: lol.. I hope it's to your liking! :nod:

The colors are gorgeous... though to be honest, I thought they were supposed to be a lot more bony and skeletal. Perhaps that's why they're looking stubby to you. *shrugs* At any rate, your art is wonderful, as always, and I'm glad to have seen it before heading off to bed.

It is to my liking! I love the colors and the imagination! I imagined them dead, but I like your version more!
