Oh she's drown, how very spectacular.
What a work of art I've spawned,
Man, am I proud of myself on this one.
She's such a f*cking masterpiece,
Self destruction is such a pretty little thing.

I know that I should walk away,
But I can't bring myself to quit this game,
She's just a beautiful girl,
With the weight of the world on her shoulders.
I'm just a kick in the teeth,
From a world that's painted gold.

Don't laugh at this. Art block is the worst thing imaginable. I redid this around three times, the first two tries were me realizing the stock I chose sucked together and it wasn't going to work out very well. After many hours and layers of work, this half decent thing comes out. And yeah, I'm satisfied. Sorta.

The requirement for this piece was that the horse should be based off this sheet: [link] Yes, it's a 3-legged horse. The horse needed to have the build of a lanky thoroughbred/lusitano. It also needed to have 3 horns, each placed respectively. The tail needed to be somewhat short/docked, and yeah, it's kind of? And the mane/forelock needed to be wild and grown out. For my first attempt at doing a photomanipulation of an RPG character, I think it turned out better than I expected. I like having a very set guideline for my art.

Absolutely amazing! But my brother ruined my gazing-into-the-photo-because-its-amazing zen moments, with "Why does it have 3 legs?" -____________- moment.
But an absolutly gorgeous manip, well done

Haha aw! I made sure my brother didn't see this because of course, I'd get a million scientific statements. "Horses can't walk on 3 legs!" They can if I want them to!

Thank you!

Ah yes, he really is. I couldn't imagine being a horse and only having 3 legs. o_O
I might end up doing a few more of Nightingale as I really enjoyed making this. I don't do fantasy type art very often, that's for sure.
