I am open for FANTASY seahorse characterization commissions. I ask $10 per portraiture and an additional $10 per extra character. I prefer Paypal but will accept points if required.
Alicorn Flutterby Queen Lacy Character belongs to :LacyMusketeer:. This particular seahorse is part of a subseries that will center around characters from Nisa and Ibex Empire. That series can be expanded to Trotsdale and other pony sims from SL if I am approached about it. Core players or admins of Nisa/Ibex are getting these free in recognition of all the time and love that they invested in the sims. I have a list that I am working through, but as I am doing these between other creative pursuits, work, and upkeep of property in heavy snow country they may not come quickly. As I didn't get to meet all of the administration (some were inactive at the time I was active because of life issues) if other admins would like to see those characters included please send me references and/or descriptions. I also must admit that this subseries is in part a way to demonstrate the range that can be achieved within the fantasy seahorse character portraits.

This somewhat ties into the Solar Flare poem. I am not quite sure where this is all going, or what the full tapestry of the various characters is going to be.

Queen Lacy browsed by the Ool of Life (she always made sure to guard it from Pee), her nose buried in the fragrant flowers that only grew in Nisa. Inhaling deeply she pulled the energy into herself. Not only the energy of the flower, but the land itself flowed into her. Some say she was born here, others that she came from a far away land still in her early yuth and was bound to the land. Whatever the case, she had been here for time long since beyond her care to count. The water was pleasantly warm, and she stepped in deeper, moving along to the next flower.
A leaf fell from the trees above, spiraling down and around the ancient artifact that her flank's marking echoed, and then further down into the vaguely green tinged water. It floated there are Lacy raised her head and tasted the wind, keen ears perked to listen for Niji, or Raikou, or her mate Crim. For a moment she thought she scented Raikou.
No, she could not have. She knew Raikou to be currently far away, beyond the connecting bridge between Ibex Empire and Nisa that folded hundreds of miles within shifting mists and pulsing crystals. Raikou and her husband Emperor Horin would be quite firmly ensconsed within the palace. Likely they would be planning their next excursion in their ongoing quest to find the Elemental Artifacts that would bring back the Wellspring of Knowledge. Raikou would not be here.
The crystals that encroached on the Ool, which had sprung up druing the time of Raikou's own bonding to Nisa as a guardian and awakening into her Ascended state, pulsed stronger as if Raikou herself was amongst them to feed. A wash of energy spilled from them, into the Ool, over herself. It felt like Raikou, the times she had used her magic to help things grow, or to rewrite events after long consideration, or when she had helped plant the Tree of Life in Exmoor.
The energy was warm, and flowed like ink from a brush. Lacy imagined that she could almost feel the brush. Perhaps Raikou was doodling and missing her. Perhaps she could find time to visit her friend and remind her to--
The perspective of the world she viewed began to shift downward. Her form began to slip into a new shape, her hooves flatening and shortening into fins, her hindquarters curling... Lacy soon found herself flitting about within her Ool where once she lounged. Submerged flowers sang to her.
Perhaps now she would get to explore where the Ool welled up from...

Edited because I forgot to include the story for the portrait.
