Description we already know how it ends tonight,
you run in the dark through a firefight.
and I would explode just to save your life,
yeah, I would explode.

let me light up the sky,
light it up for you.
let me tell you why,
i would die for you.
let me light up the sky

yellowcard, light up the sky


______________

completely reworked this manip. i really wasn't a huge fan of the original - the horse in the sky, the eye, the smudging, the colors, basically everything. so when i realized that i had the original psd, i went in, erased the mane and tail, and body smudged the horse. i took out the sky horse, and redrew the mane and tail, made them long and flowy, which i think goes with this a bit. i drew a new eye, and then mucked around with the colors a bit to make them look better, in my opinion. oh, and in case you don't remember, here's the original.

light up the sky, old version
check out the details

oh my, this is so... so something. i ran out of words to describe your art. XD
let's just put it as amazingly awesome. the eye is amazing, the mane and tail are awesome, the colours make my heart melt, and i really need to learn how to make the grass go over the horse so well like that.

auredd In reply to lesliemarie-manips [2009-12-28 19:34:05 +0000 UTC]

XDD, thank you!
and the grass is so easy. just go to the default brushes, i think you have to reset them or something, and then pick one of the grass brushes and make it the size that you want. oh, and the tool you're set on is eraser. then just use the grass brush to erase some of your subject's legs.
