Description STOP TAKING MY WORK. DO YOU THINK I WANT TO HAVE ALL MY WORK LOOK LIKE THE DEVIATION ABOVE? NO, I DON'T. SO STOP TAKING IT. IT'S MY FREAKIN' WORK AND NOT FOR PUBLIC USE.

The thinking behind this (my really random thinking xD) is that when unicorns are about to die, they go to a very high place (ie. a mountain) and absorb the light of the sun. Then they sort of explode/dissolve into sparkly-dust-stuff and all their magical power is passed nto their sons and daughters and this carries on throughout the family, strengthening each generation.

So no, this is not a happy unicorn trotting up a mountain, it's one that's about to die ... but I don't mind - you can interpret it however

EDIT: I forgot to add -- what do you think of the shadow? -is anxious- it's my first shadow ... don't yell, I know. Almost 2 years I have been manipulating and it's my FIRST shadow? Anyway, it is. I know it's going in the right direction, and it's in the right place - the fore leg closest to you shouldn't be touching it's shadow since it is not touching the floor. I think only the second furthest hoof and the closest hoof are touching but I can't see -- in edit I can only see a tiny preview.

EDIT2: I have removed the text. It was ugly and burnt my eyes.

THIS MAY NOT BE USED BY ANYONE ANYWHERE. I WILL NOT HAVE IT STOLEN AGAIN BY SOME OTHER IDIOT WHO BELIEVES THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT. JUST STOP.

Beautiful picture - you asked about the shadow. I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it. To me that is a good thing as it means it was seamless and natural.

I understand the frustration with having your work stolen, this is your work, you should get the recognition.

Don't quit because of a few jerks

I am envious. In a good way.

I know, it's horrible - you have a beautiful image, and you have to go plastering copyrights all over it so stupid people don't go stealing it.

Mind you, they've got good taste - but that's not the point. ><

At least it's safe now - I hope. You'd either have to be very stupid or very skilled with the clone tool to get it now ...

awh, thanks =]

Just stupid RPGers with nothing better to do than be idotic hypocrites, ripping other peoples work because theirs sucks. I have zero tolerance or sympathy for this kind of thing ... as you can see from my journal. I'm sick of dealing with art theives.

angelzoom [2007-03-17 14:16:09 +0000 UTC]

Very lovely in my opinion, and I think what you said about them dying is a good idea. Very ethereal if you ask me, sounds like something they would do.

Anyhow, I dont actually think any of the feet are touching, but the shadow is good. I dont like the text though.

adoniax In reply to angelzoom [2007-03-18 13:10:28 +0000 UTC]

I have removed the text now so it is no longer ugly. I hate those feet >.>

Thanks - I was thinking about the whole unicorn dying stuff on the bus home and kinda made up a whole thing about then it inspired this piece

Welcome ^^
Cool, I'll have to try it out. I'm dying to start manipulating, but PSP doesn't really cut it =/ good program, but not for that kind of stuff.

adoniax In reply to tragicxxfaerie [2007-03-18 17:50:47 +0000 UTC]

Elements 5 is really good and only £60-70 on amazon and in shops. It has a really good locking interface and everything works excellently - you should definately try it
