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!!
