Inspired by my favourite book Tithe by Holly Black

A frog surfaced and began to swim in her direction. Would that have something to do with a kelpie? What kind of help were they supposed to get from a shallow, polluted stream?

But then she saw that she had been mistaken. What she had taken for the eyes of a frog were actually hollow pits that quavered as something swam through the water toward her. She wanted to run, but fascination combined with obligation to root her to the spot. Hollow pits formed into flaring nostrils on the snout of a black horse that rose up from the black water as if created from it. Moss and mud slid from its dripping flanks as the thing turned its head to regard Kaye with luminous white eyes.

She could not move. How many minutes passed as she stared at those mottled gray flanks, smooth as sealskin, and stared into the impossible glow of those eyes? The creature inclined its neck.

Fact File-

Roughtly 1-1/2 (hours searching for the right stock XD)
Program- Photoshop 7 with Tablet
Other- First time doing ripples, was trying to manip but ended up drawing them in. Also first time drawing mane onto a manip. I haven't done a manip in almost 5 months XD
