I adore this. I really do. It's hard to outdo yourself, but you've done it, methinks.
The mane and tail are works of wonder.
Bloody damn awesome, excuse my language

Aww thank you so much - you have no idea how much I appreciate that comment. Especially given the fact that I struggled a lot with this picture; if *fakethislife hadn't been so wonderful, I don't know if I would have had the patience to finish it.

I know the feeling, trust me.
But really - you've done very, very well with this one. And by the looks of it, you've been terribly patient. Respect.

Oh wow... Carol this looks fantastic!
I love the mane and tail, especially.
I've tried to manipulate cracks, but never can seem to get them right.. you did beautifully with them.
Bravo!
You should be proud.

Really?? What about cracks get you? I don't think they're too difficult to deal with. I don't know if it'll help, but this picture has three layers of the cracks. When I drug it to this image, I did ctrl+T and messed with the perspective, narrowing the top of it to give the illusion of distance; bigger cracks closer, smaller further away. After that was done I set the layer to soft light, duplicated it and set that to multiply, then duplicated that one and left it on multiply, but set the opacity to 43%. Then there's the inevitable burning and what not around the edges to center the attention on the middle, but that's all givens.
Hope that helps at least a little.
