Yayy finally finished! I had an urge the other day to do some photoshopping but I had no idea what to do, though I wanted a challenge. And then it hit me. After doing Kasmir, I thought, well I've done a fire horseh... Now why not do a water horseh? And bam this idea was born XD And I'm pretty pleased with it! And when I get bored in the future, I could slowly make my way through the elements  This picture took quiite a while, though it was probably finishing it up that took the longest... I've been fiddling with all the opacities and contrasts and whatnot for days T_T It's probably not taken as long as Kasmir though; there was much less hand painting involved (Though there was some!) I DID have to cut the coral reef out using the pen tool though, and since that's basically just constant clicking, my wrist absolutely killed after doing that. I think that's the longest time I've ever spent cutting something as well, the reef took close to an hour to do T_T AND the reef was seriously the bane of my existence when I was doing final touchups... I have never used the burn/dodge tools so much in my life. The mane/tail also added to the wrist pain... Though I'm pleased with how it turned out! Arrsis' brushes were amazing - who says you need a graphics tablet to make them work XDD The sharpening tool was also one of my very best friends throughout this manip. [hugs the smart sharpen filter and never lets go] I WISH I had a graphics tablet though, that would have made life SO SO much easier... and would most definitely save my wrist from permanent damage XDD Buuut I probably won't ever get a tablet because I don't think I do art often enough to make getting one worthwhile >.< There are still quite a few bits that I feel aren't quiiite right though, but I can't seem to fix them so that they're perfect XD So if anyone has any critique or anything, please just hit me with it ^_^ But yeah, overall, I'm proud of it, and I've enjoyed making this image a lot. Thank you so much to those of you whom I've pestered to give me critique!!

 reports, 1d 15h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.

We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
