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!

Wow. I just can't tell you how much I adore you. This isn't even a picture made for me and I'm getting the heartleap over it. Is there any way in this world that you could offer that as a print?

I'd love to offer it as a print, but I'd have to get permission from =resurgere to do it. I think I could get the others easily enough.

Thank you! The pegasus seems to be pretty popular. For some reason, though, I'm drawn to the unicorn.. not sure why. I put a lot more effort into the pegasus, and you can't even see half of it.

Carol, seriously. If you were any more amazing I... well, I don't even know what I'd do. This manip is absolutely perfect on every level. The blending, the painting, the colors and contrast, lighting. All of it. You just keep getting better and better and I get all excited and bubbly when I sign on and see that you've posted some new work.
So basically, you are amazing, you rock my socks, i think you are probably my idol, and I hope you're doing well. Haven't talked to you in a while. <3 We must catch up soon.

the brown one dont lokks like it would fly, just stand in the air
the hiar just had to fly behind, then it would looks better

arrsistable In reply to T-i-g-g [2007-10-25 12:05:04 +0000 UTC]
Mm, I disagree actually - the hair should in truth be forward more, flying up over the neck and into the face as well from the wind forced out by the wings. It'd go behind if she were moving forward, but since she's stopping to touch noses with the unicorn, she's hovering.
Either way, though, the mane movement is wrong. I noticed it last night and was wondering when someone would comment on it.

I'm speechless. This image is just incredible. I would have to say that this is my favorite of all of your images so far. And I can hardly believe that you used one of my stock images to make it! I feel so honored.

I knew I was going to use your stock as soon as I saw it. I loved that series that you loaded up anyway; I was bound to use something sooner or later.
Thank you for the stock! It was exactly what I needed.

My goodness my friend, what a lovely composition, this is very public gallery worthy. Shoot, I log on early in the morning and there are two pages of comments already! Soon, I will have to buy tickets to get in line so I can see the unvieling of your work earlier.
Welcome back, no enuendo here, just praise for someone who is stunning and creates the nicest of emotive pieces a man can see and enjoy.
