Wow...very well done I have to admit. Why have you chosen an Eohippus?

Thank you. In this case it was the species of the character I was chosen to draw for the exchange (secret-santa type of an art exchange, there's quite a few of them on livejournal.com). Other than that, no particular reason. I have to say it was interesting trying to figure out the three-toed thing, though.

Oh...very interesting. And I bet it was quit an experience to get all the information you needed to draw these ancient animal.

It was interesting looking at the different reconstructions that other artists have done as well as getting a feel for the subtle differences and what stayed the same.

I bet. I have studied them too because of my old job....very interesting I think.

Most definitely. What type of job was if, if you don't mind my asking? I'm rather curious by nature.

It was called Pferdewirt. A German word for somebody who works professionally with horses. We have to go to school and practice for that for 3 years before we are allowed to use the title: Pferdewirt.

That's quite awesome. Works with as in training, management, veterinary ...? I have a two-year degree in Equine Science, great program, though I don't think the US has the intensity of some of the German programs.

The German programs in learning for a job are state of the art in the world. Here its normal for us..but outside of Germany we get very well paid because of it. I have been in training, management, basic veterinary, teaching and breeding. All that is included in it ^^
I am thinking about studying horse science for further experience as soon as I move to the states.

That's most excellent. There are some good colleges that have four-year programs here as well that are quite excellent, and even some masters programs.

Good luck with moving to the states! Hope it all works out for you.

I think it will...the DoD will take care of most of the problems which might aper for us. My problem is that I would have to use the University of Phoenix per example because we will have to move every three or four years. So I will have to figure something out for my future planes. The good thing is that my "Ausbildung" already counts as a bachelor degree which makes it a little bit easier I hope. We will see.

I think there are a couple two year and maybe a four-year degree that are online, but I don't know about Masters and such. Granted, I think a Masters is usually two to three years on top of a Bachelors and a Doctorate is often two to four after that (and you don't have to have any of them from the same university either). Any way it goes, best of luck! Passion and determination can take you a long way.

Yeah that is true....I will see what I will do when I am there...up to then I will use the amount the USAF provides for me to takes classes...^^ Take what you can get

Most definitely. Good luck!

Thank you^^

I really, REALLY love this. :D Such a solid feel to it, very crisp and with such deep colours, EXCELLENT work!!!

Thank you! Most of the colors were layered to some extent in order to create more rich tones. I hardly use strictly "from the tube" colors anymore to tell the truth no matter the medium. I've also been working on "grounding" my work a bit more, using backgrounds, etc. to help solidify it rather than just leaving it floating in space.

Amazing colors :D

Thanks!

Beautiful! ^_^

Thanks!
