And here he is, all prettyful and colored! I had to figure out how to color the fire myself, because I cruised through the fire tutorials, but they're all for Photoshop, which I don't have. Instead, I have to use this older program called Arcsoft Photostudio. It's pretty old and not nearly as fancy and high-tech as Photoshop, but I know it back-to-front. Seriously, this is a program that I can work.

So all this was done on one layer with only the select tool to help me out. All in all, I think it looks pretty good! Sure, maybe not my BEST, but then I didn't take the time to clean up the lineart, since I kinda wanted to keep the sketchy look anyway.

I don't have to explain who he is again, do I?

Keahi (c) mormongirlbyu

EDIT- Okay, here I've changed the picture some after the comments made by DarkMythril. Hope it looks better now. A background's gonna have to wait though -_-;

I guess I realized this a while ago, but it's only just now that I've done anything about it; I deleted Keahi's picture in my scraps, along with any backstory about him. So here's the scoop.

Well, I guess you can tell by the copyright that this is an original character of mine. He takes part in the book I'm writing, along with a few other characters in my gallery.

In the story, I have the six main characters, each of them able to control one of the six elements (Air, water, fire, earth, light and dark. Light and dark used to be one, but circumstances broke them apart). Keahi, along with four other mythological creatures (there isn't one for earth) are the familiars, or Companions, of these Elementals. Obviously, Keahi is the companion of the fire-controller, Nuria. He's loud, sarcastic, thinks he's funny and is actually pretty annoying, but he's reliable enough. And even though Nuria has an intense antagonism towards males in general, Keahi knows this and treats her more like a sister than anything which, strangely, softens her up, a little at a time.

To better enable travel, he envelopes himself in flame, making himself lighter (though still substantial enough for Nuria to ride) and can grow wings of fire out of himself, flying on the heat waves. He tends to burn to cinders anything on the ground when he lands, though.

Soooooo...that's the background on the pretty fire-horse. Oh yeah, according to my story, he was created by the goddess of knowledge, Illiahana, by cross-breeding a horse and a phoenix. Don't ask me how; she's a goddess and I'll just leave it at that. Don't you read mythology?
