Droplets Reveal

Hello everyone,

this piece took me a very long time, lots of effort, trial and error just like patience but in the end- I've made it. I've done it and I am proud of what I made.

What you see here is a painting of my dear :iconsnoopystallion:'s 2nd OC, his female OC called Sassy Response, who mainly is a female version of his first OC with different characteristics. Hoewever, this mare carries a secret with her not many know about. She is ambitious, organized but as you can tell, she is sassy but classy. In public she always shows a strong character and still keeps her things, her secrets to herself until rain shows her true self in this piece: Always mistaken for an earth pony, Sassy hides her small horn underneath her volumnious mane - wettened by the rain, everyone is able to see it. The mare is not good at magic but neither does she depend on it or needs it. I just really liked the idea of her carrying that secret which is why I wanted to draw it and perhaps make Snoopy smile with it.

The progress was kinda tough here. Not only do I have to practice working in that "realistic" style, but so do I have to learn more about drawing buildings, streets, perspective and so on. There is still a lot I haven't learned so far which I still need to experience and develop, things I need to practice. With the first version of the houses looking a little too odd, I changed it after I finished our main character. In the end, I think it was a good decision and looks way better now. Sassy gave me some troubles as I found her too "lifeless" during some parts of the process. Luckily,. with some help and advice of others like :iconmixdaponies: I got to change that and improve her appearance until I was happy with it. Although it's not flawless and all too realistic, I think she looks quite nice and plastic in a way, alive at that.
I'm happy with the effects I added, the background objects etc. and I am proud that I got to finish this piece after such a long time. The first sketch was created like 7 months ago.

Enough said, I just really hope you all and especially Snoopy like it. Hearing your feedback would mean a lot to me.
Thank you^^
