Description
*faceplants*And thus my semi-kind-of triumphant return to DA (and Adobe) after having my baby. I swear, I don't do anything in Adobe for a month and my brain begins to rot.
Total time: Too much.
The manes, tails, horn, butterfly and bird were painted, along with the sky beyond the mountains. Every bit of this was touched in some way (and I do mean every last pixel), though it doesn't look like it for the most part. Which, I suppose, is the point of it in the end, huh?
This picture was done for ~Wintermagie for capturing my 10,000th pageview. I know, I'm over 15k now, but.. but.. I was busy! Having a baby is hard work.
These two are from a story she's writing, based, from what I understood, around a palo pegasus and a black unicorn who are love-bound, but nothing that will ever truly work out in the end. The white butterfly and pink bird were requested to be in there as well; the butterfly is connected to the palomino, and the bird to the unicorn. The quote is hers too - all compliments to the beautiful words goes to her, of course!

I beat it into submission! Tools of the trade: a willow branch, a tooth brush and an old shoe.
Lethal combination, I tell you.

Wow! That's absolutely amazing! Seriously, that's probably one of the best photo manipulations I have ever seen! You should thinking about going into a career that you could get paid for doing images like that if you are not already!

LOL, oddly enough I just had a conversation about doing it for a career with someone in RL. My response to them was I don't have any schooling, and finding a job without a degree is tough. But if I could, or if I could just do manips for stables for small cash, I'd love it. So very much.
Thank you for the great comment and thoughtfulness.

Ohmygawd - I just stumbled across this in someone's favorites and had to check it out. Well I sure did the right thing - This is something you definitely don't see everyday, in fact, hardly at all. I truly admire the time and thought you must have put into this. You really did a wonderful job!
And congratulations on your baby! That must be exciting.

Thank you twice over!
I love doing manips, but I'm really critical about pouring over every thing to get it close to being right. Generally, nearly every pixel, if not all of them, are manipulated in my works, but I love it even when I'm muttering threats and curses and scowling at my PC.
Thanks again hun.

Aw, well thanks much darlin! It's actually a really nice thing that it makes you want to write a story; the pic was based off of a story for the girl I made it for. She's writing it, and just gave me the specs on what to make.
