A late [but promised] birthday gift for *Aomori , her beautiful girl Karthala (Iskra's daughter, and also my Jomar's part-sibling ) As soon as I thought of her red coat color, this scenery popped into my head, so here it is I'm still not sure how to shade properly with a light source at this angle D: Especially after such a long break, I was doing this bit by bit for several weeks, sometimes just a few brush strokes daily ;_; The lighting's apparently a mess. At least I haven't forgotten how to shade horses themselves. It's kinda uplifting.

Happy birthday once again

I agree, Karthala is extraordinary I figured such a color scheme would fit her. Glad you like ^___^

Aww, thank you! ^___^ Blending the sunset colors was a pain, but I'm glad it makes a nice impression in the end

I have adobe photoshop, and im designing a dress for my grad, do you know how i would be able to create a fading design? cause i want the dress to go from like black at the bottom and switch to blue and get lighter as it goes up (like paler sort of) and ive tried bluring and smudging but i can't get it to work the way i want to, so would you by any chance know how to do this??

I'm not exactly sure if this will help, but there are plenty of blending tuts here on dA, like this one: [link] If that fails, then the second option would be using a gradient... The manual blending method is a bit time consuming, but way more effective than blurring or smudging.
