'The Black Pearl'

Entry for 's contest, where we have to re-design her character, Nol, who was originally a blue and white/gypsy vanner/kirin. I, um... changed it a bit

I really like these colors. The way I recreated Nol, she is still a heavy draft-type. Her coat is mostly black, though her legs fade out to gray; she has a white face, and white mane/tail that fades from white at the base to black at the tips. Her horn is also black, and all the little fuzzies on her feet are gray tipped with black. She has blue eyes and a white band around her upper right foreleg.

A note about her pose - she's not walking, she's bracing herself against the cold as she decided to pause for a moment. I know it might look a bit odd, but I was trying to get her to have a somewhat stiff pose - come on, it's cold there!

Oh, yeah - those black and purple blobs with white blotches behind her are mountains XD I need to work on my backgrounds...

And, again, this is a photo, so it kind of blurred out some areas. If I can get the scanner to work again I'll scan it, as it looks so much better in real life.

Also, we were supposed to name it after a song title. Guess what soundtrack I was listening to

The end.
