A spear to the heart and a noose for the neck. by Alkaline

-And Forthwith, I shall make this exchange. Not by intention but by which the deeds which you are to cause.
Trust is delicately built into a glass tower, it does not take much to break. For by that it shall shatter, erupting into a flaming force of change.
A hard deal is what a mind makes and if not payed it could all crumble down. Down unless you make your valor worth your weight in wit.
Suffer a little or suffer it all-

Some nice obscure writing I wanted to add to this picture. I haven't done it in awhile. Though exhausting, I do enjoy writing long-winded and proper descriptions.
Actual description in the comments, some small lore in the process perhaps.
This almost looks like a Romanticized western painting. I haven't done a style like this in awhile.

The animals in the Sanctum will sort of go by virtue ethics, mixed in a little with some other constructs. :)

Aristotle has identified around 18 of them, the virtues each having an excess, a mean, and a deficiency.

I haven't quite decided on bugs for that but Musket probably represents the intellectual virtue Phronesis and has particular spheres of action in anger, indignation, and temperance. (This doesn't mean the character is stuck with these traits but more so the fall into them, I could also see some level of modesty for him.)
What is this exactly? Well, I honestly have no idea how it sparked into this painting. I was in a conversation with @FadingGlory and we ended up deciding that Musket is the most handsome horse who'd steal all of Hunter's ladies. ;)

Anyway, I had come down with the desire to draw her elf twins again for nostalgia. Fade suggested that I add Musket into the scenario because Hunter wants to regain his honor of being out bested by a horse.

The initial scene she suggested was more silly and innocent. Though I decided to depict something a bit more mature. I feel it tells more of a story.

Now, what would cause such a tempered stoic as Musket to act like this? And where the hell is Harper in the situation. I don't think she'd appreciate her horse being wrangled like this.

Idk @Fade let me know your interpretation of this. X'D

I also challenge you to write out some dialogue for your bois lol.

If you read this all reply with a smiley, congrats I appreciate you reading my long descs. :]

I really love the dust texture hgpgpg

Hunter: I WANT MY WAMEN BACK DUMB HORSE
Hawk: I didn't ask for any of this :'(

Hunter: Ugh... I'll at least consider forgiving you, artist, since you gave me facial hair... But only a maybe
Hawk: I don't get facial hair? We're the same age q-q

That's not what they'd actually say in this instance but they're always complaining so y'know
