_{FINALLY finished!
This is probably about three months overdue xDD So much to say about it... where to begin... hmm...

Well, this is for my art trade with Inwe ^^ And it is absolutely nothing like what she asked for XD She wanted autumn-y colors, and calm/sad (I think it looks sad, at least...), and the actual character, Forseti, is too dun-toned, he's supposed to be more chestnut, plus he's supposed to have a white chunk in his mane, and Inwe said nothing about a crow or a butterfly. But he was staring, and I wanted to give him something to stare at. So he got a butterfly ^-^ Hope you like, Inwe muff! I can change/remove things <3

Anyway, have been working on this every chance I've gotten for the past three days, and, despite the fact that I'm horrible at requests, I like it ^^ This is the first time I painted a mane that I actually like. First time.
Ever.
In my whole life.
When I finished painting it, I kind of sat back and stared at it XD I know, I know, not really realistic xP But it's shiny!
I was going to use some of arrisistable's Very Hairy brushes, but they didn't really fit, so... I didn't ^^

I'm not very pleased with the background blending =/ I spent hours on that goshdarn sky, and it still is less than satisfactory >.<
I like highlighting things, though!

SO! I've rambled long enough, here are the credits! In no particular order!
