layout order for Strat on HL
all done, hope you like it!

this one was another order, made especially for strat. she's been such an awesome buddy, the least i could do was make her a nice manip she wanted in a very short timeframe. hope you like it! she wanted the horse to look scared of the storm, and in the stock photo the horse was just walking through the water happily, like it didn't have a care in the world, and i was like 'mmk, that's gotta change' haha. so, i opened to mouth (first attempt! ) to give him a frightened look, and raised the head and neck a bit as well. i added more splashes around his legs as well to give the frightened impression.

favourite part: tail, sky, waves/splashes
least favourite part: mane
hardest parts: mane/tail, the blending of the original water into the new water, getting the sky right.
layers: 52 active layers
tools used: wacom bamboo tablet, photoshop cs4 extended

what was done...
painted new eye
painted new mane/tail
repositioned horse neck and head
opened horse mouth
blended 8 images together to make the BG
added quite a few waves and splashes
outlined horse
added a Photoshop Action over the whole thing when i'd finished, to give it that yellowish tone you see.

STOCK PROVIDERS
thanks, guys!

THIS IS NOT STOCK, IT IS NOT A FREEBIE, YOU ARE NOT USING IT, AND DON'T BOTHER ASKING BECAUSE I'LL SAY NO. IF I CATCH YOU USING THIS ON A ROLEPLAY SITE OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN. AND EAT YOU.
