Description
Note: This picture is copyrighted and is not availble for photomanipulations or use on other websites. Sorry!(Because I get a lot of queries about it...)
This is the legend of Pegasus, the winged white stallion bred from the love of Poseidon, God of the sea, for the beautiful, yet ill-fated virgin, Medusa, caretaker of Athena's temple.
Poseidon, so taken with Medusa's beauty, seduced her within the walls of Athena's temple. Angered by this offense, Athena, unable to punish Poseidon, turned her vengeance on Medusa and transformed her into a horrible monster with serpents for hair and a face so gruesome that the sight of it turned any living creature to stone. She was sent to the isle of the Gorgons to isolate her from the rest of the world.
The Greek Hero Perseus, son of Zeus and Danae, was sent to decapitate Medusa. He accomplished this by reflecting her image in his mirrored shield, thus never looking directly at her, and with one stroke of his sword, cut off Medusa's head. Out of Medusa's severed neck Pegasus was born. Pegasus then flew to Mount Helicon where the nine Muses found and cared for the winged equine. Pegasus was the most beautiful creature that the Ancient World had seen.

Β Nice background story, but it isn't totally correct. I know it's gross, but after Perseus cut off her head, all her blood leaked down the mountain she lived on and into the sea. The Pegasus flew up out of the sea when the sea water and Medusa's blood mixed. Everything was white on him; his mane, coat, and tail. The only exception to this was his hooves, which were golden.
Β Also,Β I hate to be a critic, but in your picture, the Pegasus's wings are way too tiny for it to ever dream of flying.Β
Β Β But beside that, the picture, background, and immense detail on everything is really nice! Keep up the good work!

It wasn't drawn, it was a photomanipulation. I couldn't draw something like that - although there are some very talented people that could!!

Wow, I never knew this pic came up so early in that search. How exciting! ^^
π: 0 β©: 0
No problem. Is there any way you could briefly explain to me how to do that?
π: 0 β©: 1
What, the picture? Um, briefly...
* Find stock images
* Cut out stock images from their backgrounds
* Piece images together to get what you want
* Adjust light, shadows, saturation etc so that they blend properly
That's a VERY brief explanation! I'm sure if you searched for tutorials here you'd fine a wealth of resources - there are much better photomanipulators out there than me.
