It seem to be lots of fun!
Well you're back from doing manips after a long time, yesh? Of course it takes a bit of time to get started again then!

Beautifully done! Love the colours in the horse and that mane and tail are epic 
Never knew you did these - I'd have no idea how to even start one! It looks awesome

How do you do your manes? That is one thing I always have trouble with in manips^^

I'm not much of an expert (by ANY means of the word xD) and there are probably waaaaay better ways to do it, but hopefully this'll help x.x Anyway, what I do is pick the darkest colour for the mane and tail and lay it down in the general shape that I want it, using a relatively large but sort brush. After that, I changed my brush to 3 px (I think... maybe it was two... they should both work haha) and chose a colour that was somewhat lighter. On about 40% opacity, I started drawing in all the strands to bulk out the mane, which sort of layered itself because of the low opacity. I pretty much continued doing that, going lighter and lighter, until I had the mane as thick and substantial as I wanted it, and until it was the colour I wanted it. After that, I went back and chose another dark colour and added a few more dark strands to sort of even it all out (not many, but it counts! lol). Then I took the burn tool on a REALLY low opacity (I think it was at 8 or something) and 'globbed' on bit of shadow (meaning all I really did was dab at the part of the mane behind the neck, and the top and bottom of the tail). After wards, I took the dodge tool, also at a low opacity and at about 3px, and picked out a few strands in the mane and tail.
I hope that made sense! And I hope you find it at all helpful!
