Artist's Comments

Picture

Name: Harlequin
Breed: BL Harlequin - Arabian type
Bloodlines: Ghede x Ravanà
Full Pedigree: [link]
Age: 4
Height: 15.1 hh
Body: Showy
Type: Bi-polar
Color: Albino, blue, and black.
Markings: Reversed mirror black and blue stockings, father's muzzle markings, black crown shape above eye, black jester tear under eye, black and blue chest emblem, diamond on neck, diamond on rump, black and blue diamonds on heels
Note: Dice hang in her mane and tail
Eyes: Aqua green
Dicipline: Dance, Liberty, Dressage
Worst Habit: Freaking for little or no reason during quitet moments
Biggest Quirk: Striking at the stall door and "counting"

Genetics: Foals will always have some sort of chest markings, though those markings will vary in shape and size. She usually throws unusual colors, such as purples, blues, and reds; however, more natural colors can also be passed on. Every foal will inherit a diamond and an eye marking.

Status: Madien Mare


Personality: Truely a twisted mare. Her mother is a purde, dominate female who fell for the charms of only one stallion; Ghede. Her father is a bi-polar son-of-a-gun, and she is no exception to insanity. She is a very showy mare, but a very unpredictable one. She is feared to be ridden due to her always shifting moods. One instant she will be nuzzling treats from your pocket, and within moments she'll have you pinned to the corner of her stall, teeth and hooves bared. She isn't as picky with stallions as her mother is, but is twice as vicious. Don't let her beauty fool you, beneath is the beast.

History: "It shouldn't've happened," a voice muttered. Thunder split the silence that lingered in the barn.
Three stable grooms stood behind the barred stall door of Ravanà's penn, watching the mare struggle to keep standing as a foal of sharp proportions and unusual color suckled her frist meal.
"Because of someone's foolishness and careless watch, we almost lost the best mare in this place! And for what? This.. this.. mutt of a horse?!" the same voice as before declared. "And the most shameful part of all this, is that we don't have a clue of it's sire. Disgrace."
The other two held silent. This foal before them, draining nutrients from her mother, nearly costed the mare her life. The birth had been difficult. Shot after shot of medication was given to Ravanà as she pushed her filly into the world.
"Mark my words boys, this horse is creation straight from the Devil himself."




Author's note: Yes, so finally, here she is. My lovely Harlequin. Chances are, she won't be up for lease, but I have plans for her if you're interested in her lines.
Again, she died in the scanner, but hey.
Time: 5 hours ish..
Tools: Staedtler pigment liners, Prisma color, white watercolor pencil
Reference: My own stock.

Thanks. :] I didn't want to go with the clichè red and black like a lot of people are doing. I thought blue and black would be a good choice.
:iconcrazysparkles06:
it was indeed :-) Great job!

I really like her markings! And I agree- the blue and black is a nice break from all the red.

She's gorgeous - I love the jaunty pose, and her expression is very shifty, fits well with her personality.
The blue and black markings are lovely too - very original :aww:

Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.

Curiosity killed the cat, but it had one hell of an adventure along the way
