I want to ride the range
Across those skies of black
I want to see for myself
And see me coming back
And when I've gone the distance
I'll be making tracks
For an English Sunset

We're on a runaway train
Rolling down the track
And where it's taking us
Who knows where it's at
But if we hold together
We can make it back
For an English Sunset

We want an English Sunset

I feel the rhythm of the earth
In my soul tonight
May it ever fade away
And I've decided I can live
With humility
And the sad decay
'Cos that's the English way

We keep the faith alive
With everything we do
And at the and of the road
We still keep coming through
And though it's sad and sorry
What else can we do
It's an English Sunset

An English Sunset

I feel the rhythm of the earth
In my soul tonight
May it never fade away
And I've decided they can wait
For the requiem
We take it day by day
'Cos that's the English way

I saw the English Sunset.

My half of an Art Trade with =Flaming-Sunset of her beautiful character, Flame!

First off, I had sooooo much fun drawing this! Flame is an awesome character.

I was originally going to draw one of Flaming-Sunset's other, darker, characters, like Shadow, and then I heard this song. And it fit. Perfectly. Not to mention I love this song! I was then going to draw her character Sunset ( great fit, eh?) but then I decided to draw Flame, Sunset's lovey. ( correct me if I'm wrong!)

I wanted the picture to look like Flame is going to see Sunset, and because of the beat to the song, I wanted it to seem like she was on a journey.

A few things. First off, I hope the water looks okay! After working on this picture for so long, I was really tired, and couldn't get it exactly how I wanted it. So I hope it's okay.
Second, I had a little bit of trouble with her color. Same thing as with the water, I couldn't get it as exact as I wanted it. I hope she looks okay, too.

That pose! No ref! All from my head. ( have a serious headache, though. X() Those legs were such a pain! Please no crits on the anatomy, I know it has its flaws. It was a new pose for me, and let's just say I'm glad to be done with it! I must have sketched out twenty different horses, and then I drew up this pose and fell in love with it.

And I love my clouds! Overall I must say I'm pretty proud of this picture. I really tried my best with the shading on Flame, and tried a new technique with her mane and tail. I guess they look pretty good.

Anway, thanks so much for letting me draw her! I had a ton of fun with this. ( and Flaming-Sunset, note me your address if you want an unwatermarked copy. this offer is for =Flaming-Sunset only!)
