Description Well, here it is. I hope it wasn't more trouble then it was worth. Lemme know if you find it useful, or if it was overly confusing.

This is how I made the background in this: [link] manipulation.

As you can see by the sucky doodles (I swear I can draw MUCH better on paper with a pencil!) half way through, I started to loose interest. -coughs- Or maybe I just decided to treat you to my awesome skills. But I got it done!

Also, please excuse the grammar and spelling mistakes here and there, I may fix them. Someday.

I'd love to see any results people might get from this!

Photo used can be found here: [link]

Blending Image tutorial that I mentioned can be found here: [link]

You /can/ link to this tutorial (And I'd love credit!), but do NOT repost, 'kay?

I'm going to try and pull this off in gimp, although I don't believe gimp has a sponge tool that you mentioned. Oh well I will attempt it all the same! Thanks Eagle!

SkysTheLimitStudio In reply to snofoxx89 [2008-08-04 20:02:39 +0000 UTC]

I dunno if GIMP has the sponge tool or not. You could always select the grass with a selection tool and desaturate it that way, if you can do that on GIMP. I am so totally clueless when it comes to that program, I tried it once, and failed absolutely horribly.

I'm very interested to see your results!

You're welcome!

The font was EVIL. Bigguh, next tiem plz?
'Twas very helpful all the same, and guess what? I pulled it off in GIMP! Though it's not as spiffeh as yours, and I didn't follow it exactly to the letter.

[link] <-- There you go.

I apologise that it seems rather like I stole the concept of your latest manip, but I already had the whole theme planned. The horse was meant to be jumping off of a cliff, but I saw the background pic you'd used for the tut and thought it was too good to pass up.

SkysTheLimitStudio In reply to ariat [2008-08-03 17:29:12 +0000 UTC]

I'll make the font bigger next time, I promise. I guess my screen warped it and made it a nice size for me. But, yes, bigger next time.

Wow, certainly not bad for GIMP! Looks a lot better then the scary thing my friend and I tried to make on GIMP. But she might see the tutorial, retry it, and make somethin' purrty too. Who knows. ;^)

I don't think its too close to copying mine, I don't think I would have saw and and thought that, but thank you for the explanation just in case I did. -grin-

I'm glad it was of help!

ariat In reply to SkysTheLimitStudio [2008-08-04 07:01:05 +0000 UTC]

I saw your eye colouring tut; much easier on the eyes. x]

I agree, who knows? Maybe she will.

I know it's not too much like yours, and although the horse in yours was rearing and not leaping, I just thought I should let you know just in case. Better safe than sorry, eh?

SkysTheLimitStudio In reply to ariat [2008-08-04 17:28:51 +0000 UTC]

Definitely better safe then sorry. I appreciate you being so polite. ;^)

Ahh.. I knew I'd love you forever if you made one of these. Good thing I watched you, yea?

*begs for more tutorials* You've got a unique writing style thats really easy to understand.. and this style of day-to-night looks so much better then all the other ones out there (And doesn't take as long!) which works in my book!

SkysTheLimitStudio In reply to Serephinex [2008-08-03 02:04:50 +0000 UTC]

-giggles- Yup! Watching is an awesome thing. -grin-

I'm both very pleased and surprised you found my writing style easy to understand, I figured it'd be beyond confusing. I have three other tutorials (Mane and tail smudging, eye painting, drawing tears) already written that I might throw up tonight/tomorrow.

PLEASE! I want an eye tutorial so bad *grin*

I wish I had a tablet... It would make mane and tail painting so much better and easier. Don't you just HATE Finances? Uggh.

I can't wait for more tutorials. You're really good at them. I've only got 1 (part 1 and 2) up, and people say I should make more... so I'm thinking about it.

SkysTheLimitStudio In reply to Serephinex [2008-08-03 17:44:09 +0000 UTC]

I might try and get two of the pre-written tutorials up today, they shouldn't be too hard to do since they're already made. One of those would be the eye.

Tablets are awesome, but I've seen people do amazing stuff with just the touch pad on a laptop. I think it was for a while.

I'm glad you like the tutorials, I was worried everyone would be like "WHAT THE CRAP, EAGLE? YOU SUCK AT THESE, GO CRAWL IN A HOLE AND CRY.".

But, yay!
