On the Steppe

A bit late, but like we say in Norway: bedre sent enn aldri! (Better late than never!)
This is a birthday- and appreciation gift for Zoubstance. You're such an amazing person, spreading your good mood and positivity all over. You have made my day more than once and you're just so incredibly nice and welcoming I couldn't not draw something for your birthday. I was originally supposed to just be a colored sketch of one of your boo's, but as you can see... I went a little overboard (also as a thank you for going overboard on my commission, which I still haven't gotten over yet. It was amazing )

Here's Zoubstance's beautiful and absolutely awesome Zlesdins Kvantespring, Zdrasti Adrenaline, Sagadir and Hilas Spinosa. And if you don't know about the Zlesdins from before, you should seriously check them out (they belong to Zoub!)
I tried to show off their personalities while taking the liberty to release them all on a grass steppe Sagadir looks so distressed though ("You guys, can't we all just be friends?" )
And those colors... I'll be dreaming about dapples and various shades of brown, seriously, so hard to get right

Also, I listened to  Mongolian/Tuvan Throatsinging while drawing this. Who knows where I find all of my music.
