Description Contest entry for 's contest. The purpose was to draw the character you'd most like to bring to life and why. Well, mine is obviously Reckless and as to why...

Reckless embodies being free to me. If he'd be real (and mine) I'd ride him across wide open country (with the occasional tree ) feeling totally free and without a care in the world. I'm not sure I depicted it right, but that was my intention anyway... Freedom of cares and troubles...

Oh, and that's supposed to be me atop him

The movement in this is great, and Reckless has such a cool design! I love those colors, and that long mane and tail. I'd love to go riding through an open field on a horse like that he's so pretty...

Good luck on the contest! I'd find a spot for a horse like Reckless anytime!

This must be a good day for drawing horses, I did my share this morning. Whee!

I love Reckless' blue eyes, so pretty. And your self-portrait turned out very good indeed. Hang on tight!

Thank you!

And the self-portrait might look good, but not all that much like me

Well, any resemblance between me and my manga-self is probably accidental. Well, I do have messy hair like Ch'laen... And hey, this is art!! Your portraits don't have to look photo-realistic.

Hehe, true, very true btw: I didn't know Ch'laen was supposed to be you...

I forgot to mention that little detail -- on the Privateer Press forums where the manga got its start, I mention Ch'laen was my Iron Kingdoms avatar, with a vague resemblance to me. She's definitely more physically-fit than I am right now, I haven't been able to ride a horse in over a year. <_<
