Description
Born of Water.The first in a series of elemental pictures.
This too was a project for a Secret Santa, and this one took longer than the other I think. The mane and tail... Oh gods! I did and redid, redid those and redid it again. I finally just gave up. The twigs weren't bothering me... it was just everything else. I think I was having a bad day.
Anyhow, this is it in its (almost) entirety. There's a little more of the pic that I opted to crop out due to the fact that it just wasn't needed.
The little hole/waterfall is actually two pics of the Niagara Falls blended together, and there for no other reason than the fact that I looked at it and just decided to put a watery pitfall in. Same goes for the snake... honestly, did you even notice the snake before reading this? LOL Most people seem to look over it.
Done with CS2 and a Wacom Intuos3.

Click for Closeups -- Please look at them. I swear, it's prettier up close than far away. I nearly loaded just a picture of the head and front half of the body instead of the whole thing.

hehe! I drew seaweed into the mane at first, then replaced it all with twigs. I kind of wish I left the seaweed, though.

Woop, I'd actually thought that you did this one, not the one of the horse standing on the ruins! XD
Absolutely stunning, and I can fave it now!

lmao, surprise surprise! I did both. Good eye, though - I thought the other would have been easily recognizable as mine, but this one a little more... unlike my usual work.

Haha, I realised when I saw it in my watch list XD. I don't know, this one struck me as more your style, I'm not 100% sure why

Really? The tail makes me angry. Or the bottom half anyway...
(Thank you!)

incessancy In reply to arrsistable [2008-01-04 22:43:42 +0000 UTC]
The bottom half isn't as "flowy" but it's wet, so that makes sense. Haha, I've been attempting to paint tails like mad. I'll show you when I finally make a decent one.
