Description .Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again.

Serephinex and I were having a conversation about manips (really... no way! =O) and how if you found the right stock, it can be quite easy. Then I somehow in my own mind's avid conversation (who doesn't have silent conversations with themselves? xD) trailed off to Alter Bridge; in particular, the song Blackbird. So I looked in Batty's 's and picked out a few images and went to teh lufferly Ferro (-gasp- IT BE FERRO!) and picked out a lovely bay by the name of Jay. I really was burning out of strength on my Ned Kelly WIP (I was working for hours on it on Saturday!) so decided to do a manip to PROVE you all that this gal isn't inactive.

Don't know what I think of it yet; it's a fairly quick image (only about 3 hours) and I don't want to work on it anymore. Oh, and sorry for any poor quality or lost detail- it all happened when I resized it from the MASSIVELY big size it was originally. Hey, really who cares? xD

Credits
Photomanipulation: (I am tired of finding my images on Photobucket- it is SUCH a pain to get them removed! Just don't do it okay!? QUIT STEALIN' EM! So hence, I have 10 hidden credits (apart from the two main ones)... PLUS those two big ugly main ones. Sorry )

.The willow it weeps today
A breeze from a distance
Is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizons coming to sweep you away
Its coming to sweep you away.

why people nowdays listen to S**t like Tokio Hotel or Jonas Brothers & Company but TRUE bands like Alter Bridge are still in the half of the chart?
Nowdays society is too clueless
BTW This is what i call art: the ability to make something happen inside you, maybe sometimes you don't understand what's happening, but it's always a good feeling!
This is so great that i can watch it for hours.
It's so deep.

I agree with Batty... I think that the hooves look a So Pretty!

Thanks!
I dun like the hooves either. I NEVER like hooves; I like, just can't cut them out and place them. I had a orange highlight layer of the horse and the normal horse, and I couldn't burn or shadow or darken the hooves (for some friggin reason they turned white!) It's like they were stuck with those friggin white blurry parts >:'3 But I got sick of them and stopped trying
