Description Contest Entry for =Equinus !

Well, well, well, I didn't think it would turn out this good! haha I was having so much trouble with Shadows coat that I almost gave up, but today I gave my self a kick to make it look good and get it done! And I did it! Even though the contest doesn't end till July, I'm thinking I might do another entry! Okay so this is my character Shadow, and this is an entry for the seasons theme, and so this is the season spring! It's a Spring storm, and well with the light breaking though a plant grows and I guess Shadow appears. I wasn't sure why that stream of light went around him, but I thought it looked epically neat, so I kept it there! So do you guys like the idea? If you see anything that doesn't looks finished please tell me!

I love this, it makes the emotion come out so much and puts you in the horses mind like your there. The mane tail is so soft looking and wild, and the sparkles add to the picture too. Great work!

The magicality is awesome here, I love how you did all the lighting and the kind of 'fairydust'/gold dust effects (that's how they look to me ) The flowers are so lovely especially the main one of course.
