And here comes the second painting of October! I noticed that I hadn't drawn my dear OC Bonfire for almost a year, which is absolutely horrible, so I thought to make a painting of him and also update his design a bit. Bonfire is my oldest character which I'm still using and his design hadn't changed dramatically since the first version, so I personally think that his looks started to seem a bit childlish and just... stupid to my eye. So he definitely needed to mature up a bit in my opinion! As you can see, I've permanently made him a proper bay with only the blaze remaining from the markings. His mane and tail have also changed and he has lost his beads. Bonny's mane and tail are nowadays dark brown, almost black, with medium brown tips and with only two white stripes in the mane and one in the tail. He has also a grey muzzle with pink on the nose. I'm about to draw a new reference sheet for him soon as well, so keep an eye out! I personally like the new version of him much more better. I'm also pretty pleased with the painting itself, it was a lot of fun to paint more dramatic pose and dusty background for a change!

I hope you like it too, and thanks for taking a look!
