Author's Note: I wanted to catch the plushyness of Cinni's wintercoat and thick hair inside the ears, contrasted with the very thin hair around the eyes. I felt a horse was a good subject because I also had the hair of the mane to work with. I was going for a bit of an oil painting look.
This was made in Photoshop CS4.
