this is my half of an art trade with ~x-Echo-x . her half can be viewed here: [link]

i have to say, this took me forever only because it's the third or fourth completely different version of her character, Evrae, that i've done. Evrae was a very challenging character to portray correctly, but all in all i had a lot of fun doing this. hope you like it, Kyra!

musical inspiration: none.
time spent: approx. 10 hours, spread over 2-3 days
tools: adobe photoshop elements 6.0 and wacom bamboo fun tablet

It's beautiful! I also have PSE 6 and I was wondering how you got the foot and the pattern down the horses leg to "glow" because it really does look stunning!

That hoof and the vines going up the leg are hand drawn on a new layer, and then I used Gaussian blur as well as several different blending options with duplicated layers to get that effect. A lot of trial-and-error!

You are seriously amazing.

I will attest to the fact that no one has ever pulled off actually capturing Evrae's personality. So Micala wins. ^.^
