Description

_{<edit> I just looked at this on my laptop and realized that it looks REALLY dark. So for those of you who see it as a very high-contrast image, it's probably because of your computer. Apologies! </edit>

Probably the last one for a while...
But I'm quite pleased with it; despite the fact that the tail tried to kill me multiple times. I know how overused this waterfall image is, but I fell in love with it at first sight, and simply had to use it.
I drew the markings in myself; aren't you proud? There's a funny blaze-ish thing on the face that's a bit hard to see, but it's there. The horn was also drawn 100% by me, and I think it came out alright.
There was previously a blue feather ini the horse's mane, but I took it out. I couldn't decide if it looked good or not...
I tried something new with the eye here, which is a technique I learned from Middy, one of my cats. His eyes are extremely expressive, so I tried to imitate them here.
And did you notice that the splashes are partially hand-drawn? Shocking, I know.
