Btw, just wondering.. :/ How do you actually make it look like the horse is in the grass and not floating above it? lol

Kimuntran In reply to PromisedHope [2009-07-04 01:39:28 +0000 UTC]

over lap a layer of grass so far over his hooves to match how deep you want the grass to be. Recomending
using the largest size setting you use on the grass
that's something I do, I dunno what equinus might do . . .

deviousdarkheart [2008-07-12 21:51:57 +0000 UTC]

what about put a little bit of grass around the hooves so that instead of standing on the grass, the character is standing with the grass?

Equinus In reply to deviousdarkheart [2008-07-13 08:05:01 +0000 UTC]

Well, yes, thats true! But I guess this was just to give some guidelines for backgrounds, and whatever else you'd want to add, you could.

Meelz [2008-01-22 02:40:31 +0000 UTC]

When you do your grass, do you zig-zag it like how you would on a mane? Or do each individual stroke?

Was just wondering *hides* if you could do a tutorial similar to the one did on manes (((EEK! Dont kill me!)))

All in all a very good tutorial, thankyou thankyou thankyou!!

Equinus In reply to Meelz [2008-01-22 04:28:30 +0000 UTC]

Oh mibad I didn't mean to do a mane tutorial *slaps self* (now I realise how it sounds) I meant:

Do you do grass in zig-zag like how Boribaby shows how she does manes? *rolls eyes at self*
