Description

It's wrong to say that I can do anything. I am no god. But if nothing else is under my control, my will is steel.

Failure is both temporary and inevitable. Setbacks bounce off my coat. Successes add up. Victories forever belong to me.

Getting into recent territory, up from "recent-ish", because I've skipped a few while trying to decide whether to post them. I expect people who know actual composition theory will cry at the background element here, but I'm just experimenting.

It's a better running pose than most I've done so far, and otherwise I'm quite happy with this one. Hindlegs in movement are still a weakness of mine, though, as is their general anatomy, which seems to vary with every picture I do.

As Samuel Beckett aptly put it: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No Matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." I think the thing with horses is that when they gallop they often only have one leg touching the ground at a time. If they're going fast at least. The slower the horse, the more of its feet touch the ground at a time. Maybe google some pics of galloping horses to see what that looks like, and then transfer that to ponies?
