Limit, Finished

[rowyn]

After much pondering, I finally decied to color Limit's mane and tail, shading gradually from white roots to deep blue tips. (A variant the_vulture suggested, that I'd been considering after posting the poll). I also tied up his mane to make the mane less overwhelming on the right side. He looks pretty similar from the left side, but on the right the change is pronounced. I also varnished him to protect the paint job, so he's glossy now, which is more glaring in some of these photos than it is in person.

Nice gradient effect! I had voted for just leaving it white, but this turned out really nice!

The poll was an even split, and I am still not sure I made the right choice. He looked pretty snazzy with a blue ribbon tying up a white mane. :) But I'm pretty happy with it!

Gradient blue does look sky-y, though.

It's thematic! :)

Just remember, one of the key to the success of an art piece is recognizing when it's time to stop fussing with it. :) I'm just really, really glad that the dye job turned out well; I imagine you would've really disappointed if taking that last risk had turned out poorly.
