Artist of the Day: Rebecca Dart

Rebecca Dart lives in Vancouver and works on animation productions as well as creating comics and drawings for personal projects.

A difficult subject for artists to draw well is the horse. Rebecca renders horses, warriors and all sorts of fantasy creatures in powerful, confidently inked brush strokes that make it seem effortless. Perhaps her horse drawing ability aided her in securing a job as part of the crew that recently rebooted the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic television series, although you won’t see her art from the show on her blog where she has decided not to post any Pony-related concepts.

Instead, you’ll find her slice-of-life comics:

And various pieces from Rebecca’s art book, Battle Kittens, which features fearsome weapon-wielding ladies riding gigantic kittens into battle.

Many more mythical and original creatures are in Rebecca’s Flickr collection.
