Forewarned

Climax Stables
Seen above: Forewarned, thoroughbred mare

Finally Di's conformation picture is finished. When did I sketch this, 2009? I tried a similar painting style on this picture as on my last picture of Vivace, but I used a big brush so I couldn't go into much detail and tried to go over her coat as quickly as possible. Well...I still took 4+ hours, but I like the result anyway.

Unfortunately I lost the link to the ref I used for her conformation, but I know it was a mare on foaltrack.com. Anyway, I used this mare as a reference for her shading and this stallion by ~LarissaAllen for her colour.

Personality: As a foal she was so quiet and alert. She did not grow out of this disposition, and at the track nothing seems to disrupt her quiet watchfulness. She is not the most graceful runner, but she can easily calculate her opponents' weakness, and with her cool demeanour and intimidating size, few horses want to challenge her.
History: Diana matured slowly, but once she figured things out she became utterly dedicated to her work.
Status: Unavailable for breeding, still racing
