Surprise Surprise

Gaarrrh finally finished.
This took sooo much longer than it should have. But I wanted the trailer to look like trailer and not like a square vehicel-something-bleh.^^ I heavily reference from this photo: [link]
I also tried a new and quicker way of shading and highlighting with the dodge/burn tool. In some parts I really like it better than the old way.
sorry if the story is crappy but i'm nearly asleep and i wanted to have this ready.

When Diego left the house to look for his sister, he felt like a heavy burden was taken from his shoulders. He just recieved a phone call from Samantha Malz the owner of Wilkenburg Stables. She had heard about the fire that destroyed the stables and the near buildings and wanted to offer her help. She suggested to take some of the horses to her stable that they don't have to stay in the barn of EMS' neighbor anymore. Diego frowned while he glanced over the barnyard. The charred ruins of the stable building radiated an atmosphere of desolation and the man sighed. He tried to share Samantha's confidence who was very eager at the end of their call and said she would have a surprise for him soon, but it wasn't very easy while standing in front of the loss of his livelihood. Diego headed towards the barn of his neighbor to tell Erin about Samantha's suggestion and to discuss which horses will go to Hannover.
On the next day Diego was getting the horses ready for the journey through Germany. He and his sister decided to leave the foals on EMS and just take the four adults; Sommer, Hekatè, Alec and Craftie, and the two yearlings; Sissi and Blackie, with them to Wilkenburg Stables. He already prepared EMS' trailer for the six horses and was leading Hekatè into it when suddenly Erin ran towards the barnyard, waving with a piece of paper. "Diego! Take a look at that!! You won't believe it." He took the paper from her and while reading hsi eyes went wider and wider and finally his jaw dropped. "She. Is. Insane. Completely." he looked like he forgot to breathe. "A Charity Event. That is a surprise indeed." He totally forgot about Hekatè who was prancing around and let go off her leading rope. She looked sceptically to the huge red trailer in front of her and she didn't like it. Erin took the rope completely absent minded and recieved a nudge on her shoulder. Both of the siblings were so touched and couldn't believe whatt they were holding in their hands. "Maybe this whole chaos will have a good and finally." Erin said gently and patted her brothers arm. "that would be wonderful."
