Yea I’m on 100 acres. My fiance and I were given the house by his parents who live on the other side of the orchard from us.

And most jobs are like 20k-50k per year. My dad is lucky and makes more the 50k a year. :)

We sold it for cheaper, I think 200k? it wasn't even an acre, then we bought a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house on five acres for 380k. It's worth 950k now, lot's of renovating.

Lovely! I wish to have a small farm, but that's probably a pipe dream. lol Anything like that around here is like 200k+. O.o

But now my parents have a nice house in Mississippi and I live in Indiana on a farm so it all worked out

Oh definitely, Gem! That house was a disaster. It was cookie cutter and someone came in and flipped it before we bought it. The amount of shortcuts they made meant my parents had to redo practically everything to fix it. We were so poor at the time but the house had to survive hurricanes.

My parents sold a house in Virginia in 3 days with 8 showings and closed in 30. Sold it for a quarter of what it’s worth now and it’s in a not so great area. They said they should’ve kept it but we were moving to Australia for a few years and there was no way we could have kept it.

My parents sold their house several years ago. Because of CO (not CO2) was coming from the ground into the house... it took almost a year for the home to sell. AND a realtor sold it for the absolute lowest price we'd take. O.o

I wish other breeds like RID had those patterns. I haven’t been able to find them all that easily. KNNs are shiny

Lucky - Oh that would suck

We have a private sale possibly lined up if they don't take it. A family member wanted it originally but we already offered it to them for our buying price. They said go through with this opportunity, if it falls through reach back out to them

Hello! Some of you already know me^^ it's me Dark! I've been making art for a long time and unfortunately worked on a very old, laggy iPad. Now that I have a new iPad, I'm open to learning!!

I am open to criticism and help!

I am also interested in:

Tier?

Hi!!!! I LOVE this piece!!!!! I saw it on Imp's stable a few days ago and was just blown away. I adore the contrast and the lighting and the drama. It's truly stunning and I would totally steal it. I had to stare for a bit to find anything to critique haha!!! ❤️

A few little things:

Looking at the jewelry on the tail, the cuffs should be casting a very small shadow on the horse to illustrate that they're not just markings. Along the same point, the cuff closer to the base of the tail, there is hair growing out of it. Logically I think the hair would be trapped inside the cuff? So maybe erase the few strands there. And if I'm totally misinterpreting it and they are meant to be markings, please ignore lol
As I mentioned, I adore the lighting. It makes it super dramatic and just gorgeous. The only spot I would adjust slightly is the chest/front shoulder. It seems unnaturally light when the direct light source is on the opposite side of the horse.
Because the background is so vibrant and green, I think it would make sense to have a bit more of that color incorporated/cast onto the horse. However, for this piece it feels like more of a stylistic choice and would work either way.
Last tiny thing, looking at where the tail docks to the horse's rump, I feel like the rump should be in front of the base of the tail. Meaning that there should be some sort of shading making a distinction between the two areas with shading rather than a direct connection. If this doesn't make sense I'd be happy to sketch what I mean.

Lots of love!!! ❤️

Okay haha!! I would suggest maybe making the tail markings less shiny then so they don't look quite so metallic but they're still super cool :D

You're most welcome 🥰

Easily 200k-300k+. I love them both 😍

I'm on my phone so I'm not going to type out anything long but the one thing I will say is to look at the mane in the red demon sky piece. In comparison to the forelock in the same piece and the hair in the vampire piece, the main feels very stiff. Which I understand is probably a result of the hair cuffs and the braided style but braids can still curve and flow, same with the hair exiting the cuff.
Absolutely amazing job with lighting and fitting the horses to their background. Just be careful you're not avoiding grounding by shading with black 😜

Completely beautiful, can't wait to see what you make next <3

Thank you for always being here XD^^
I only do the black for the vampire - the dark atmosphere is supposed to make it a little creepier ^^

and yeah - hair is my biggest problem ;C
