Exclusive first look - bookish fan art commission

I got a commission from an online bookstore to create fan art of the book they were providing in a bookish box in May, which was The shadow of the gods. Here are the result!
Spent approximately 2 months on this piece!

This piece haven't been shown to anyone except the commissioner and have been a secret project of mine since the products in the bookish box is a secret until the customer gets it in the mail, so this is a very exclusive look!

Easy/quick reins tutorial

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a great Monday!

Here comes a quit easy and quick tutorial on how i make my everyday reins for my art.

1. Base
I first draw with a hard brush the base i want the reins to be in. I many times do them in sections as it can be easier to shade them then. Use a color that is the same or simillar to your tack. If it is black take a dark grey and not black as the base.
