My Lipizzaner character, Maestoso Biserka. Just a refresher on horses, again. Trying to get more detailed on/comfortable with my anatomy in my digital drawings before I work on any more horse commissions.

I've also become quite attached to Serka; he's kind of like a second, more "realistic" fursona, especially now. Since I kind of picture him as a late-graying stallion in the Vienna riding academy, I kind of sympathize with him; being a freshman in college is kind of like being a horse in Vienna. Outside of that setting you may seem impressive and outstanding, but being surrounded by peers that are as good as or better than you is very humbling, and more than just a little distressing. Serka may be a champion at a third-rate horse show, but in Vienna he's below average, which is sort of how I'm feeling at Truman right about now. I breezed through high school without ever cracking a book, but I'm definitely feeling threatened by all my peers right about now. XD

I want to do a full painting of him surrounded by his grayed peers eventually, maybe actually at the academy. Not sure yet.
