Description Hokaaaaay.

You know the old pic I did for DOT, of her char Avalon? ([link] -ahem-)

You know how I said there was a first version that I liked, but didn't quite fit the character?

Yeah, this is it. 8D

Except... I tweaked a lot of it. Added textures, the quote, and a bazillion sigs xD And I also played a bit with the blur layers. I don't know how much work I did, but I do know it's 2AM and I haven't eaten a real meal in 22 hours. I wanted Chinese, but nooo....

But yesh. I larve this pitchar 8D I'm SO proud of it. The horse and the bg just go so well. I didn't mess with any of the lighting on the horse; all I added was a little squiggly shadow on the ground below it. It goes that well.

SOYEAH

I like the quote. xD I didn't know what to put on there as text. I was going to leave it empty... but I was all "O hay quotez" and I looked up quotes about dreams... for... some reason o_o''

BUTYES

Enjoy. Admire. Ponder at the hidden meanings (). But whatever you do...

DO.
NOT.
STEAL.

I will rip your heart out and show it to you. That, or the cats will. Muhahaha.

This is so pretty. <3 The textures and colours really work well with the quote, I think.

Aw, sharks.

I wish the text had worked out better. I wanted it to like, have a drop shadow or something, but with the stubby grass, it just wasn't possible to get it to look how I wanted. Grass/forests and I don't get along, as far as manips go... Oh, well, it's still pretty? :B

Thank you for the and the comment! It really means a lot!

It's definitely still pretty. ^^

I can see how the drop shadow might not have worked, but I still like the text. It almost looks like it's glowing. At least, to me. xD It could be where the white stands out against the darker grass?

But, anyways. It was no problem at all.

Beautiful. The quote and the picture go nicely together.
