I've been working on this for the past couple days, coverting my colored pencil drawing into digital art. I am really proud of how this turned out! Meet Summerblaze of Sun Herd! This is the version with the black background... And this is with the white background. You guys vote for which one is your favorite. (This is the first time I added actual detail on the horse. Plus, the background is based off of Brianna's Royally B logo. 😁) SUMMERBLAZE- sorrel mare with black feathers tipped in red, orange, and yellow, flaxen mane and tail, wide star on forehead, two front white anklets, two white hind socks, light blue eyes.

Okay I know that Copic is a really good brand but any others?? Preferably at a Joanns or Michales?

Zhamina looked at Hazelwind. “Trespassing is bad, right?” Hazelwind nodded, dreading what was about to happen. “Fly,” he whispered. He pranced, ready for battle. Zhamina nodded and took off. “Seize them!” Blazewing shouted to his captains. They took off after Zhamina. Hazelwind leapt into the sky. He snatched a captain’s wing and twisted it, before throwing him across the sky. The captain was sent cartwheeling into the forest. A surprised cry came from Zhamina. Hazelwind looked down from the warrior he was battling. The mare had been rammed, and caught by surprise, had lost her balance and was falling. “Zhemina!” Hazelwind cried, diving after her. A warrior grabbed his left wing in his teeth, and another one took his right. He bucked, trying to throw them off, but they held on. Zhammina tried to beat her wings, but they were whipped backward by the wind. “Help!” she cried. Hazelwind struggled against his captors. “Angle your wings!” Zhamina angled her dark grey wings, and her body was put into a fast glide. She hit the ground, and Hazelwind saw one of her front legs twist painfully under her. Three stallions landed around her. Zhamina staggered to her hooves. Her dark eyes glanced around her. She was surrounded. Zhamina lowered her head in submission. Hazelwind kicked one of his captors. He staggered backwards, letting go. A mare flew towards them and grabbed his free wing. Two stallions grabbed Zhamina’s wings and rose into the air. “Let’s go,” said one. The pegasi started flying south, led by Blazewing. Escape plans flew through Hazelwind’s mind, but he didn’t dare activate any of them. A few minutes later, they landed. Hazelwind’s sore wings collapsed at his sides. Blazewing spoke to his captains. “Take the mare to Smokeroot, and put the stallion under guard.” The captains surrounded Hazelwind. He sighed and folded his wings. I can’t escape. * Zhamina limped to a cave. She entered, and the scent of herbs filled her nostrils. Her legs buckled, and she sank to the cave floor. A palomino mare walked over to her. “What’s your name?” “Zhamina,” she said. The mare looked confused for a moment. “Oh,” she said, “you must be one of those tame pegasi. My name is Smokeroot. Why are you here?” “I hurt my leg,” Zhamina said, looking at the limb. It was jarred out painfully. Smokeroot ruffled her light grey feathers. “How did you injure it?” “I fell.” Smokeroot nodded. “It's bad, but it’s not a break. No walking for ten days. You can stand as much as you want, but no walking, only flying.” She swished her flaxen tail. “Bye, Zhamina!” Zhamina limped out of the cave and was met by two stallions. “What is this?” she asked. “We’re putting you under guard,” one, a buckskin, said. “I’m not allowed to walk,” Zhamina said. “Then we’ll fly.” The buckskin rose a few wing lengths off the ground, and the other stallion did the same. Zhamina rose up with them. They flew until they reached a group of stallions. Hazelwind stood in the centre, his eyes searching for escape. The three steeds landed. Zhamina sank to the ground, and in moments she was asleep. * A few miles north, Echofrost paced. The sentry group had been gone for too long. Has something happened to them? A pegasus suddenly burst out of the forest. Echofrost jumped. She looked at the stallion, relieved. It was a sentry steed. But her relief turned to worry. The stallion’s grey pelt was lined with bleeding scratches. His end bones were broken, and the flight feathers were torn. He was panting as if he had ran the whole way back. “Echofrost,” he panted. “We encountered… another herd… Sky Herd… Hazelwind and… Zhamina were taken… I barely escaped… we can’t… rescue them… they’re too strong.” With that, he collapsed, and his eyes closed. Echofrost screamed. Storm Herd : Echofrost- Silver mare with a mix of dark and light purple feathers, white mane and tail, one white sock.
