OHMEINGOTT look who actually DREW and finished something?? Today I decided I simply have to get over my lazy-ness, so I managed to finish this picture, which has been collecting dust on my PC for about 3 weeks already. XD I have about 10 more sketches done, but only rough lining is the furthest I got with any of them XD
And gawd I spent AGES on this .. -6 hours on just the lineart .. tricky pose was tricky .. -4 hours on colouring/shading the horse and rider .. -15 freaking hours on the damn background .. yep, not kidding. I took hundreds of refs for those flowers and sky, and HELL am I proud on this. XD -So that`s 25 hours all together .. ohmay I can die now XD
Hope you like it!

Evy: *jumps into Diva`s stall with a bright smile on her face and some paperwork in her hand* "Hey! I`ve been looking all over for you .."
Luka: "Yo .. what`s up?"
Evy: "There is this show jumping competition at MSS .. and I`ve been thinking about entering you and Diva into L4 .."
Luka: "Well, if you think she`d be up to it .. "
Evy: "Oh I`m sure you too will do great again, just remember how awesome you did on your first show .. and now Diva is also a bit more experienced, so I thought we could try competing with her a level higher .."
Luka: "Okay, I`m in."
Evy: "umm .. also .. "
Luka: "Yes?"
Evy: "I`ve wanted to ask if you could possible take Revenge as well?"
Luka: "Revenge? Also in L4?"
Evy: "Nah, I wanted to enter with her into L6, but with me riding Dummy in Grand Prix and Puissance I won`t manage .. so I thought I`d ask you .. Since you do so well with Dummy babies. ..."
Luka: "Well .. I`m not so confident on L6 yet, to be honest ... "
Evy: "Oh come on, you`ve competed on 1.40m before, 1.30m is no big deal .. "
Luka: "Uhhhh ... fine, where is this competition anyway?"
Evy: "It`s in Maine .. Here, you have all the info on here, and I`d need you to sign the registration forms as well .." *hands him the paperwork*
Luka: *reads over it quickly* "Sounds nice .. I`ll stop by later at the office and sign it, okay?"
Evy: "Gawd thanks so much! You`re a saint!"
............ later at the event ............
Evy walked over to the fence of the warming-up arena. Luka saw her, turned Diva in her direction and trotted to her.
Evy: "Hey!"
Luka: "Yo ... what`s up?"
Evy: "Nothing much, just wanted to tell you that you two will be on in about 10 minutes."
Luka: "Okay, that`s perfect .. "
Evy: "Oh, by the way .. where is your helmet?"
Luka: "What helmet?"
Evy: "Your helmet ... the one you will wear in 10 minutes .. "
Luka: "It`s at DNS, it`s not like anything`s gonna happen .. "
Evy: "Hey, you just got out of the hospital, you don`t want to end up there again do you?"
Luka: "Wowzers, you are starting to sound like Connor.." XD
Evy: "But it`s in the rules .. "
Luka: "Pffff YOU talking about RULES? Your arguments regarding any type of rules are invalid lol!"
Evy: "Haha yep I admit, that`s true. But seriously .. the judges will take points away and it can harm Diva`s career ..."
Luka: "Doubt that, have you seen her last few trainings? She is flying over jumps, seriously.."
Evy: "Well, suit yourself, but if you end up losing because of THOSE few points judges took away because of the helmet thingie, you`re on mucking duty for a week."
Luka: "Deal."
Evy: "And I`m not letting you ride Revenge tomorrow on L6 helmet-less, you will take mine."
Luka: "Deal .. now if you would excuse me ... I have a diva to warm up.."
Evy: "I hope by that you mean yourself lol the horse is fine" *pets Diva*
Luka: "Of course. But hey .. blame yourself for my attitude towards rules ... I mean WHERE of all places could I have possibly picked influence otherwise?"
Evy: "Haha true. I can`t possibly deny that."
Luka: "Good. See ya after the ride .." XD
Evy: "Hahaha good luck to both of you divas!" *walks away* _________________________________________________
