Description
Yet another layout requested of me on Horseland. NEVER AGAIN WILL I DO SPECIFIC CITYSCAPES. The requester wanted a pretty pic with a white horsey and the Dallas skyline as the backdrop. Not being a native of/never visited Dallas, I spent a good half hour on Google street view before I could start this >.< Despite my research, I ended up doing the skyline as far away as possible XD. Again, the backdrop is like, 2 pictures meshed together (the only water front view in Dallas is the Trinity river which is actually on the OTHERSIDE of that tree line, lol) and a heckuva lot of gradients.Anywho, I'll be posting up the stock peoples soon enough. I've got Engineering Economics Class to attend to right now...ewww >.<
And zee long awaited creds:
Dallas skyline: [link]
Waterscape: [link]
Horsey: [link] <-- sexah beast
Brushes: [link]

My apology madam! I don't mean to underestimate your love to horses,
what i meant is that most of artwork are about horses.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I love horses too, they reminds me of the authenticity and glory past times. Even though, I don't ride them very often.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sadly I don't get to ride much either >.< Butcha, I too can see a sort of ancient grace about horses. Either way I love portraying their beauty and general magnificence, lol

Yeah, they are, sorry if my English confuses you, I'm not that good,
do you have a horse?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't have a horse of my own, but my aunt has a couple. When I visit her I take care of them and ride them
As for your English, it's not half bad. I think I understand what you're trying to say - at least half the time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
AHah, your aunt is lucky to have horse in her house, sounds you ejoy visiting her evry know and then?
As for my english, I don't think so that you only understand the "half". But anyway, I'll practice englsih as well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I visit her when ever I get the chance! My aunt is a very busy person so she loves it when I come visit and make myself useful. She spoiled me rotten when I was younger, but her farm is still a very peaceful place for me to be

You sound like she lives in the countryside, ain't she?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, she lives out in the country. I love it there because it's so inspirational 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, you're so right, live in countryside is much more cozy and tranquil. whenever I got tired, I go to my village whcih my best getaway, and there I can get more inspirations and do so much creativity out there.

Yay! I tried to make 'em soft so that it came across as more feminine. Also, I like that color scheme so, yeah xD

holy god this is so pretty. i love the colours and the horse's face conveys so much emotion.
and i know what it feels like to try and do specific-city skylines/streets, oh god. XD; you poor dear! it came out wonderfully, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, wellz I can't take credit for the pony's expression, but I guess I'll take responsibility for the "so pretty."
Thankies for zee comment yes, and super glad you seem to appreciate the effort that went into it, cause there was a LOT.

gorgeous all the way around

Thank you very much! I thought about putting flower petals behind the pony but my version of flower petals came out weird. Perhaps I'll try again. Thank you for your suggestion

Why thank you

You always pick the most perfect horse stocks to use. I absolutely LOVE how you've used yellows and pinks and purples in the background - really makes the white pop. I like how you've added hints of those colors to the horse's coat, too.
I've never been to Dallas either, so I can't offer any helpful commentary on the cityline, but the whole thing still looks fabulous, as always ^-^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, it's more like the stock horseys I use pick the perfect bg and vice versa
Glad you noticed the hints o' color in the pony's coat too
"Fabulous, as always" <-- I wouldn't say that if I were you. I can barely squeeze my inflated ego through a standard sized door as it is, lol.
Thankies for zee comment though

Heehee, well, that works too!
I love using overlapping gradients for the sky, too. Use them right and they look super awesome ^-^
It's always good when the detail is there, even if it's not noticeable. If it wasn't there, the whole thing would look less real, for sure ^_~ And don't worry - they help make the picture. Not silly at all!
Ha! But it's true, so I'll say it anyway :D
And you're welcome!

wow i adore that color scheme, so soft and pretty. and the horse is lovely too <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks so much
...
Well, at least not in the near future, lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh man i cant imagine. u had such specific details to work on. i hate that. i like free reign for that reason. i rarely take orders that are too demanding or difficult cause then its no fun :[ but somehow u persevered haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, I'm the same way. Usually I'll only accept the breed and color of the horse and then what the RPer wants the overall mood of their picture to be. Every once in awhile, I'll dig for specifics, especially if I'm feeling particularly museless, but this is rarely.
The only reason I managed to stick with this picture was because I was feelin' up for a challenge right then, lol. Otherwise I would have been like "yea no next"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah i do it exactly that way. i just like the basics. well i guess u got what u wished for, one heck of a challenge lol.

Should be all fixed up. Lemme know if it's not.

do you have credits for the images that you used?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
That I do
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
If you read to the bottom of the comments you would see that they had to get to class (I know how that is!) 
To VagabondQAD, I"m not a pink person but that image is pretty. I love the mane on the horse.

Just my own opinion, but if there's time to post a picture, there's time to post credits too. ^^
