Description This was a personal challenge for me. I tried all sorts of new techniques - texturing, a more detailed background (which failed, obviously), and a new mane and tail method. I can say I'm happy with Ambilona. Not sure about the background though...
Well, it's my Birthday in two days, and I thought I'd make myself a present cos no-one else will

It was a mixture of two standard Photoshop brushes and just individually painting strands of hair
I'm not sure about it though. Doesn't seem 'me' and I do like my previous style...but I want it more detailed. Plus this took ages, so I dunno if I'll do it again.

Very lovely piece, I really like the use of colour in the horse and the background, also the mane and tail look very realistic so whatever new method you're tring must work!

I'm really glad you like it
There's a way I've been trying to do manes/tails for ages, I think this is the closest I've ever got to it

Honestly, the mane and tail are excellent, very very realistic!
