Description


Overall

This is part of a three-way art trade between Eeferz, Inde and myself.
This one is for Eeferkins.
I spent all evening on this one hehe. I got Eefera's request when I arrived home from classes and I think almost immediately I started working on finding stock for it.
It was a challenge considering I've never done water running off of horses (or anything else) before. And that I've only ever attempted the war paint look maybe once in the past. For the most part I am pleased and since Eefera likes it, that's all that really matters.
As always C&C is welcome and encouraged.

behind the picture
The water was an after thought on this picture. The only reason it was added was as I showed what I thought was the final to Eefera, she pointed out that the horse had to have gone through the water to get to that rock hehe. Well once she pointed it out I couldn't just leave it be. I made myself a promise recently to pay attention to more detail in my manipulations (this includes lighting, how things move such as water, how hair would fall down the neck of a horse and much more) so I simply had to give it a try. I think it looks alright if I do say so myself.
Originally the horse was darker but I past experience has shown me that what may look perfectly lit on my computer is too dark on others so I changed it to make sure that Eefera could see it properly.

Time: Approx 6 hours. (Including the stock search.)
Layers: 17
