ACEO/ATC: Melancholy
My part of monthly ACEO trade (August) through group ACEOfursXchange with SilveryNova - from characters she offered me to draw I choose Bad Luck. Bad Luck is a mythical horse who got his name along that fact he brings bad luck everywhere he appears. It's a pity that SilveryNova doesn't get more cards and art with this character because he is quite handsome =P Plus, it was nice to draw horse after long time again.
The idea of this card was simple - althouth he is pretty handsome, it must be really sad and lonely life. Imagine that, you bring bad luck everywhere you place your hoof. No matter how much you want or not. No matter how much you love those you would like to be with. Just. Bad. Luck. Always. So along his major colors I did simply blue nebula and space background with stars... many stars, which is in good relation to melancholic mood which his life situation must cause to him. Maybe if he is watching the stars and his mind is free it's a bit better... and maybe that's the time when bad luck of the world is having nap so the world can be neutral or happy.
And if it happens and somebody would be interested, than stay tuned because I used completely new technique for background - airbrush with acrylic colors - and I have enough photos to be able to make detailed step by step tutorial from them :3 I'm eager to show how this card came to the light of this world because, to be honest, I still like it, even after few days from the last line was finished :[
So, I hope I didn't make you asleep too much and you will like the result too :)
tools and stuff: for background - acrylic paint with airbrush and toothbrush ; for character - liners, Polychromos colored pencils
size: 8,9 × 6,4 cm / 3.5"×2.5" (+ poping out pieces)
paper: this time I'm not exactly sure what it was, I founded it on my table and I have no idea where it comes from xD It was not any special brand but working with it was fine :)
Her awesome part for me <3
