Circus Airs

Drawn as an entry to Mystykat's contest.

Since Mysty inspires me occasionally to return to my first love--horses--I drew a stallion leaping like a Lippizaner in the Airs above Ground. Then I dressed him up a little like he was at a circus, but kept it simple to aid in the impression that he's flying. The circle and fabric curtains are there to increase the idea of flight and give a hint of circus background. Well, all that was left to do was a little colour. Hurray for Gold-Seven's "pimping" method. I totally love that!!!

BTW, I highly recommend that you never try to dress a horse's feet like that. You'll not likely do it twice w/o getting kicked. lol
