Description My gift to all of my DA friends. xD

I'm allowing download of full size in case anyone wants to use as a wallpaper, but please, no one steal it. I'll be extremely pissed.

I didn't watermark it with anything big, so don't get any ideas.

…take me away, a secret place
a sweet escape, take me away…

Thanks to =Serephinex , I have tweaked the wings slightly.

colour themes applied - green, yellow and brown with blue - are eerily alike to this artist's photo manipulation: [link]

the painted texture for background is also almost identical. did you use this person as inspiration and forget to credit?

Oh. Uhm, not noticed until you pointed that out. I did use a tutorial posted by that artist on how to get the background like that however. I'll add credit for that.

That is absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the mane and tail, and how white the horse is.. almost like it's glowing.

The text looks great, too.

awe, thankyou

The mane and tail are just gorgeous sweety. I love them.
Although, the wings look a little.. pasted on I guess? or maybe it's not that.. it may be just the wing color or something.

Either way, the whole image is just so pretty. I'd love for you to show me how you do your manes and tails. They're always gorgeous -- remind me of Fahlamee's.

Your welcome! xD

I think I could mess with the wings a bit…

Maybe I'll get to making a tutorial on how I do my manes and tails. Only thing is, my technique changes all the time… so every time I make a tutorial, I end up getting a newer style and more requests for tuts. xD

Serephinex In reply to whimsical-wanderings [2008-12-24 06:30:56 +0000 UTC]

I would love a tutorial on how you paint 'em...
Yeah, well I like your technique in your last 2 images (this one and the one with the blue mane.) Epic...
