This is a pho-commission. LaunchesKayaks asked if I do them, and I don't. But I like to take requests and that's what this is. She asked me to paint her and her horse. My first time painting a horse. How did I do?

My first time painting a horse. How did I do?
I think you did a great job on Sandy!
I'm just learning Sandy is all about Lemmy lol! I clearly need to explore more.
So she paid you with pho? Must be a hell of a soup.
Beautiful work, dude.
The best pho sure
There's a local restaurant here named Phó Shò. Pretty good pho. Also, can I have the recipe?
Edit: on second thought, not sure I can trust your recipe. I haven't seen a single kayak launching in your recent posts.
😂
And thank you!
Yay! My favorite Lemmy celebrities in one crossover post!
🎉🎉🎉🤣
Omg I gotta tell my mom I'm famous! 🤩
I appreciate the love!
I've looked for LaunchesKayaks several times since moving to piefed with no luck finding her. I have greatly missed her stories of Sandy.
I hope their adventures have been touching and fruitful as I remember them. So glad they have each other!
You did a beautiful job in your painting!
Thank you! And she's worth finding here, I spent a few hours reading through post after post with my wife.
I've looked, she also never shows up in my feeds and I've subscribed to everything my old account was subscribed to.
I always thought it might be a federation issue or maybe she has piefed.social blocked, or maybe me blocked. I respect her even if that is the case. Even if it means a feed without touching Sandy/LaunchesKayaks stories.
At least I know she's still out there making the fediverse a better place!
I didn't block you, and I don't have piefed blocked. Not sure why you aren't seeing her posts unless .world defederated from piefed
I don't know, i see this one. world is federated with pieferd.social too. The fediverse is new and im sure there are still bugs to be worked out.
It is awesome to see you again! You still have the bright blue tag I gave you in my mobile app that says "frien".
I'll bookmark this comment so I can at least pop through your feed and see the wonderful world of your Sandy adventures. I'll try to see if I can see some after I write this.
Hope you've been well. Last I remember you were recovering from surgery and Sandy was just going to move to her new playground.
Update
It's strange. The first post I can see is from 4 months ago. See you later space cowboy. A few from asklemmy a year ago and a few from aww.
I'm guessing there is a federation issue. Maybe a mobile issue as I almost exclusively use mobile apps. I'll do some troubleshooting and let the correct party know what I find and see if there is a solution.
Great to see you again LaunchesKayaks!
So weird that you can't see a lot of stuff from me. I'm glad to see you as well!
My surgery recovery went well and Sandy can be ridden now! Got her weight up and the vet cleared her for under the saddle work. I have a trainer coming out every so often to help me teach her stuff she doesn't know.
Ridden, wow. I think the very last post I saw was Sandy watching intently the other horses being ridden and me suggesting a stuffed animal so she wouldn't feel left out. Something along those lines anyway...
Glad your all healed up! You and Sandy look beautiful in the painting.
I'll start investigation into what's going on. You usually post Sandy stories to aww if I remember right. I'll make sure I'm not banned from anywhere, last I checked was only banned from freespeachpatriots or something like that, I don't really check often. If it's not a banning then there is still possible mobile issues and piefed.social federation issues that could be causing the issue.
I'll get working on that soon. Kind obsessed with a coding project at the moment.
I'm just happy to know you and Sandy are doing well!
Sandy has come such a long way since then! She is thriving at her new home and even has two bestie horses she pals around with. She also spends the majority of her time outdoors now, which she loves. She comes in for dinner/breakfast but spends at least 12 hrs outside in the winter and probably about 18-20 in the spring/summer/fall. It's doing wonders for her.
I post the stuff to to the pic sub on .world.
I'll be posting pics at some point today or tomorrow, actually. I got her a toy and I am going to give it to her today lol
You two are adorable!
So far I have found I have no bans on this account. I have no instances nor relevant communities blocked either. Firefox and two mobile apps all have the same issue with seeing your posts. I just want to give the piefed devs as much info as possible. What community do you usually post Sandy to? If I remember it's pics@lemmy.world. I searched and couldn't find pic the singular.
It is pics@lemmy.world.
Any other info you need? :)
Not hat I can think of off hand. I will ask the devs if they need any other info.
Thanks LaunchesKayaks!
No problem! I also decided to start making some YouTube vids of her and uploaded the first short in videos on .world.
The vid seems like it's kinda ass imo, but Sandy looks good in it lol.
Great! Love to see some live action LaunchesKayaks and Sandy. Will give me another community to test against as well.
Hellll yeah
She replied to you here, can you look at her post history now?
Thanks! I think it might be a federation issue. Something's wonky.
I appreciate this curious happenstance and your fortuitously wonderful painting!
Thank you! I see your other post. I hope you can figure it out. It's odd that you can't see everything.
Bravo! 👏 Well done!
Thank you!
Did she bribe you with soup? Because I think you're looking for "faux", Fr*nch is a bullshit language.
Dang... You're right. Silly me. Thank you!
This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
