Obertaurer Alpine Graduation


~ TASK 1 ~

Ever since the lead stallion had told him off on day one, Tem had been nervous around him. Luckily their lead mare was less intimidating, but Tem found himself trying to keep an eye on the older stud to make sure he wasn't getting in trouble. He had avoided too much trouble so far, and spent most of his time following the mares in the herd around. They seemed far more interesting than the other colt, and their steady presences helped Tem to adapt into the new herd and living conditions on the mountain. He had looked to the mares to show him how to find food, and how to navigate the difficult terrain.

The herd had made their way up the mountains one day, through some tough terrain, but Basterd seemed to know exactly where he was going. The stallion led them to a blustery hillside where the strong winds had blown the snow cover enough to reveal some tough grasses that would provide the herd with grazing. It was icy cold in the wind, but the easier access to the precious feed was welcome and Tem braced himself against he cold and hid inside the herd as they all ate as much as possible. However the wind was picking up and thick clouds loomed, threatening heavier snows. Something that would be difficult at such altitudes with such an inexperienced herd. Bastard kept his attention on the weather, trying to let the herd feed as much as possible before he signaled that it was time to leave. Tem loitered till the end with a few of the others, getting some last bites of food before reluctantly following the herd, wary of being left behind or chased away from the food by the scary stallion.

So scenic <3

And I'm really digging the herd image - and getting to focus on all of the horses (in the blustery beautiful snowy weather).

I am honestly so so glad you like it and that he looks ok. 
You could almost say this is a fanart of the big boy. He really is iconic and its an absolute joy that he is the one showing Tem the ropes.

TavieTastic [2020-04-14 10:24:40 +0000 UTC]

I love this style of yours. Basterd is also looking very studly here, his pose really conveys that he’s watching out for the herd.
the whole composition of the piece is brilliant, and also I just love that Tem has one ear forward one ear back. Such a small detail but really marries up with the story.

Hnng thank you Tavie! <3

He is such a handsome dude and i am so glad he came across well. I really wanted that unsure look for Tem to contrast with the big impressive lead stallion for Basterd.

<3 thanks so much dude! 

Its such a fun breed and i am hooked on them. If you are interested i highly reccommend joining the discord. everyone is super friendly and willing to help each other out. So far the only ways to get them are breeding them, buying them from another player (though no money is allowed, only art sales) and importing them during the import season. So it would really depend on what you are willing to do and what you are after.
