Son of Arabia

[link] The song I drew the picture to. Please listen!

__________________________________________

The most precious of all arabian horses – the coat, black as the feathers of a raven after summer rain. The head, dry as the desert, carried proud and magnanimous on the muscular neck, on which the mane, silky as cashmere, is softly waving. The star has the shape of a half moon, attracts amorous glances like a golden medal. The back is straight with a high set tail that gently cuts the warm air in wavy movements.
He stamps on the ground with his forefoot, which, like all the other feet, too, is furnished with white pasterns. His attentive, profound eyes gaze into the distance of the sandy landscape, his almond-shaped ears pricked, his bearing majestic – just as is right and proper for a descendant of the best Arabian blood.
This stallion stands in front of you – like a dream of 1001 nights of hope and passion.
Waliyh Haydar al Ahd.

Finally, some Collin-Art, teehee.
Actually - this is my oldest OC. As you can see.. CLICHE-ALERT. xD Like all 10-year old girls, my first original character OF COURSE had to be a black stallion. But whatever - I love him!
I've had him for so long now, it's unbelievable. How I came up with the name Collin? Honestly, don't ask I don't know either.
I decided to give him an Arabian name, but I'll still call him Collin. That's who he is.

I love shading black horses... o_O <3

This picture was very much fun to do, I loved doing the sand and the windy mane... I really hope you like it!
