Description

Titanium commission! Don't ask me why, but whenever I do titanium commissions, I always feel like the file has to be ridiculously huge. Quality, whoot, whoot! So yes, um, my apologies if your computor randomly spazzes, crashes, or otherwise freaks out.
This one was fun! She had the idea of a Spirit-like scene, where he's looking out of the train, seeing his family in the snow (so sad!). So based on that general idea, I ran with it, basically coming up with a whole story line. Basically, the horse is the last of his herd, as all the others have turned to snow, one by one, drifting away on the breeze. He's pursued them this far, trying in vain to recapture his life, now mere snowflakes tossed in the wind.



Again, no background combing. Shame, shame, shame. Replaced sky, though. xD
The snow horses were fun to make. They ended up looking a little different, something I didn't really intend, but I liked the way they looked so I left it. If anyone shows interest, I may end up making a tutorial on how to make snow horses, as I don't believe there are any available on DA.

Credits are a bit wrong for the background. It's with no "-"

Haha, I knew it was a sort of Spirit-idea thing. I thought; "Oh, this reminds me of Spirit!" Nonetheless, it is a very well executed manip and I'm not accusing either of you of stealing the idea, either. It is wonderful. <3

Haha yes, my commissioner actually refered me to a youtube clip of the Spirit movie to reference off of. xD I'm actually really surprised no one has had an idea like this before, but after browsing DA for awhile, this seems to be pretty original!

Thanks so much
