Heyyyy I made another Between You, Me and the Fence Post fanart piece (based on a Shaw pack ranch AU fanfic written by @taelonsamada ) since this was another scene that my brain had a vivid image for. This scene is also from chapter 12, when Darlin' and David are having cousin bonding time and putting up trail cams around the property.

[Image Description: Fanart of a Shaw Pack Ranch AU fanfic called "Between You, Me and the Fence Post" by TaelonSamada on Ao3. It's sunny with blue sky, and snow on the hills and ground. There are a few pine trees and non-coniferous trees surrounding the lightly snowed on dirt path. Light comes through the branches and openings between trees, giving it a warmer glow. There are mountains hidden by the trees. Darlin', on the right, and David, on the left, are both riding horses on the dirt path. The dirt path has horse prints in the snow. David has warm tan skin, black hair, and sits tall on his black and white painted horse. David wears a dark brown cowboy hat, a light blue flannel shirt, a black jacket with cream fur lining the collar, tan gloves, dark teal jeans, and black boots. David's horse has medium brown bridle, saddle, stirrup straps, and reins, with a purple striped blanket underneath the saddle. Darlin' has cool tan skin, a light brown, choppy wolf-cut and is talking to David about something as they ride. Darlin' wears a white shirt, a brown jacket that isn't zipped closed and has cream fur lining the collar, lighter blue jeans that have mud stains on the bottom, black boots, and a tan cowboy hat with a black and white feather sticking out of it. Their hands holding the reins are not wearing gloves. Their horse has buckskin coloring and a black saddle, bridle, reins and stirrups straps, with a pale pink, striped blanket underneath the saddle. The tone of the picture seems happy and content. /End ID.]

Pretend that the bag, that Darlin' has the trail cameras in, is on the other side of the horse. And they are supposed to be walking their horses through a tall amount of snow, but i wanted to draw hoof prints, so ig also pretend that the trees kept the snow from really piling up in that one spot idk XD. My brain also figured that it stopped snowing for a bit at this point in the chapter (since this is right after the Milo and Chuck scene that I drew earlier), so we have a sunny-snow scene.

I really went to town with shading and stuff. I was working on this for, like, 4 days. Mostly because I kept taking naps but also because I got the dimensions/pov wrong in the sketch so I had to rework it A LOT. But I'm pretty proud of it :) i think it looks cute and i also like that I have sort of a facial headcanon for both David and Darlin' now. And I guess my new art style is gonna go for more realistic vibes because I like how this looks a lot.

(no song this time because i was just watching rdr 1 + 2 and cod mw2 playthroughs while drawing this.)
