Description This one's for Gumbo!

She's like an equine version of Lady justice, complete with blindfold and scales. And yes, that's a tarot card. Mane, tail, hooves, and blindfold were painted from scratch with my luverly Wacom.

Okay. I just want to tell you I worship this picture. >< I looked at the original horse, and it is an absolutely amazing transformation! The mane, tail, and wings are so realistic it is not even... so I don't know where I was going with that. Also, very creative. I so want to have your talent!

absolutely gorgeous work! You did an outstanding job blending in those painted elements. Wonderful use of your tablet I want one so bad so I can attempt things like that. Anyways enough rambling this is amazing!

acornah In reply to whitewater87 [2007-04-08 03:57:37 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! You don't need a tablet to do stuff like that. It can all be done with mouse too, but it'd take a little longer.

Thanks, Athemia!

And no, I didn't paint the whole thing, just the mane, hooves, tail, and a few other odd bits I didn't like. I like to call it a "photomanipainting". Heehee

acornah In reply to JaelStarr [2007-02-20 01:53:30 +0000 UTC]

Teehee, it's a photomanipulation. So there's a lot more photo in it than painting. But there is a little bit of painting. ^_^

JaelStarr In reply to acornah [2007-02-20 05:23:32 +0000 UTC]

Lol,I still want to know how you added those things, how you get the depth of the mane and knowing the colors and giving it highlights! LOL Thanks for the Watch by the way! I really appreciate it!

acornah In reply to JaelStarr [2007-02-20 13:42:17 +0000 UTC]

No problem, thanks!

The mane is actually easier than it looks. You start with a mane-shaped grey blob, and then use the burn and dodge tools to add in strands, shadows, and highlights. It's tons of fun!
