For ~howlinghorse

A version of the Kelpie; the scandinavian version is called the brook horse (Bäckahästen) , and in old folklore was described as a white stallion who lured children up on his back, and then ran into the dark watres of a lake and drowend them. He was said to have shapshifting powers, and would also appear as a naked young man playing the violin near streams or lakes, and he was called 'Näcken' in that shape.

Lovely image. The shading on the legs is what I like in particular. I also enjoyed the 'story' behind it.
:iconterracannon876:
Haha, the story's so ...well, you can't tell the horse'd do that just by looking. I like the mist-and-lake-reflection-atmosphere (and they themselves)...kind of eerie ><

The clouds ... they're beautiful, aren't they?
Even though they seem so close, it's absolutely impossible to touch them...
Maybe that's just the reason why ... they're beautiful...

You are so amazing at these peaceful fantasy scenes (though the story behind this one isn't so peaceful). I love the way you did the splashes and mane, and the way this kelpie is the brightest thing in the pic.

Howlinghorse is sure lucky :D
