the HERBALIST

"the earth offers us many things, but still we must learn for ourselves."


please zoom in for details! this is a large
image and includes a TON of small details.


Key character features:

- Branded an outcast (as seen on his left shoulder), he took to the wilds and gave himself to the earth and to peace.
- Very quiet, soft-spoken. Always on the search for fresh herbs to make poultices. Collects them in his leather bag. 
- He's garnered a reputation with wild things for being non-violent. Thus, he's often followed or accompanied by butterflies, birds and the like. 
- Dun/dark cream base, with brown points. Soft, blue-green dapples. Blue-green eyes. Often adorned with braids, or even feathers. 
- Soft, thin goatee at his chin, and matching feathers on all four feet. Only white marking is the arrow-shaped blaze. 



This is a character I created for myself a while back, but never connected with. Mostly, it was a foray into
doing Character References again, as they do not come easily to me. So this was a practice run, playing with colors, details, etc. 
I even learned and loved some new techniques that I'll be applying to future manips. 



So, since I didn't click with him, he is up for auction!
