Detailed digital shading on a detailed background

Commissioned artwork for Brownie - the mare- is a role-play character and it is a scene from one of the role plays - she is protecting her colt at all cost, even if she herself is now in quite bad shape - we do not see the enemies here on the artwork so I am not sue who really did her so much harm, only know that finally this scene ended up with the two characters survivingI found a lot of fun in this scene, it was quite challenging, but I think I managed to depict the story and show the desperate mood of it. I hope you'll like it!
