Description
I don't wanna be demandingI just wanna know the reasons why
We live and die in a world of lies
Addicted to the way we crash and burn
I gave it all away now it's your turn
Watching me, watching you
Don't wanna see the worst in you
Escape The Fate - World Around Me

This started as just playing with the background.. and then it turned into this. This took a very long time, spread over about a week due to change in horse stock and lighting and removing branches from the entire upper left part area of the picture.. I wont even go into detail on how long the transformation of the horse took. All I have to say is, I know there are many mistakes, but I'm rather proud since I've never added markings like this before and I've also never changed a background so extensively. Critiques are very welcome.
Please, enjoy.

Valycon In reply to cas887 [2011-05-11 02:18:28 +0000 UTC]
Well, basically all I do is draw out the shape of it, then I add the details in with individual strands. I start with a dark color, then work my way up to a highlighting color. I usually have about 5-6 different colors in my hair..
so what i'm saying is, I dont think you'd need a tablet to use the technique? hahaha
