Welcome Home, Son - Radical Face {listen here }


typically i just follow the order with commissions, rather than using music to inspire me, but the melody of the chorus in this song mentioned above (the chorus is only two words - "welcome home") just suited this image, so perfectly i had to add it. <3

so this is paid commish for the lovely =lunarblues ! i'm happy with it. i'm not sure if i am as happy with it as i was with today , but i'm generally pretty pleased with the outcome.

Ofelia's strawberry roan coloring was challenging but fun, and i'm still not sure if her coat looks as i wanted it to, but it's not too bad. xD anyways, i hope you like it, deary!

thankyou so much! haha, i just use a lot (and i mean a lot) of adjustment layers, like Color Balance and Curves, to get the whole effect on the image.

I've got to say, I think this is one of your best manipulations.
How on earth did you remove all that fancy tack from the horse? And of course, your manes and tails continue to amaze me. I can't understand how you get all the highlights and lowlights so perfect...

thankyou hun!

the tack was removed mostly with a mixture of the Patch tool, and the Content Aware feature.

naww thanks xD i redid the hair a few times, so it's good to know that it finally looks good!

I think what horrified me most about this was that I wasn't aware of it earlier. The lighting is exquisite and don't even get me started on the hair and coat recolouring. So much love.

Beautiful! The colours are so inviting and warm. The lighting is brilliant. And the changes on the horse are GORGEOUS! I would say that the line around the eagle is a bit thick and could do with a more gentle outline, like on the horse. Also the edge between the grass foreground and the moutain background is quite sharp. I would either burn or blur a tiny bit of the edge just to make it a bit softer. I love the hair colours! SO PRETTY! Maybe a bit long and thin? I don't know whether you want the horse to look wild or not, but I would say wild horses tend to have thicker tangly hair and not so long as they like to rub against trees etc. Just my opinion. Stunning work tho!

erraticstudios In reply to Dashing-Designs [2011-04-22 21:59:47 +0000 UTC]


thankyou!
as for the hair, the character was supposed to have very long hair - that tail is probably a touch too thin, though, you're right.

thankyou for the critique!
