Description
June 2013 off-site requestto be used on MyStable.co.uk
I spent wayyy too much time on this. Probably, definitely, my most complex manipulation, although it may not look like it.
The background is a blend of three images, I hope it's seamless. -shot-
20+ hours on this, probably more. It seems unbelievable now that I look at this, but seriously, this took me weeks to make.
I hate the tail but I love the shadow and the duck.
Please comment with any //nice// criticism you may have, I'm always looking for ways to improve.
Thank you to *mockingale for the lovely feedback in my WIP.
Enjoy!

i will, do you have to pay for the things you use to make your creations, because i cant pay anything for something, and i was just wondering if there is good free things to use.

I use gimp, it's a free program. Download it here!
And I use a monoprice tablet, it cost 50$ but it works great and most tablets cost hundreds of dollars.
Otherwise you can use your mouse but it's a lot more difficult. It is possible though.

awh, thanks i don't think i will be able to use a tablet to do it so i will have to just use a mouse, which i'm pretty used to i have a steady hand. so you say you merge picture?
