Description
Just some practice with colors. When I practice, I seem revert back to my comfort zone: four-footed animals! In this case horses, deer, ibex, and a nameless oryx-unicorn character that I've had in my brain for a few months. It's nice to get him down on paper.
All of these were sketched on paper first, then painted over or colored in Photoshop. I tried to leave the original lines on the deer, but it didn't really turn out. Oh well! That's what practice is for!
thanks for looking!

oryx pose: m9.i.pbase.com/o4/24/687524/1/…
ibex referenced from pictures on google and arkive.org www.arkive.org/nubian-ibex/cap… (I think, although I can't find the exact pose)
deer poses referenced from limited-vision-stock.deviantar… by daftopia , tristin-stock.deviantart.com/a… by tristin-stock and for the life of me, I can't find the other one.
I used this color palette for the unicorn--s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/2…
And some of the colors and styles are inspired by bear65 's beautiful work.
