Description
somewhere in this darknessthere's a light that i can't find
maybe it's too far away...
or maybe i'm just blind...
________________
this is called procrastination, xD, from my essay for english. i saw these two stock images, and i had to manip them together - it was just so perfect! the colors were a butt again, and while they aren't loud this time, i had quite a few selective coloring layers to end up where i did. i also cut this one out pretty well, xD, i was so painstaking over it. and my smudging's decent, although it blends in.
________________
EDIT 1: fixed the hoof & leg. (:
EDIT 2: cloned out that odd brown dot!

I see all these gorgeous manipulations and I just wish I prints were available so I could hang them up on my wall. 
But this is stunning!

Zomgggg; so beautiful...
I am jealous. xD

soy! thanks!
i really don't know, xD. i used a couple of sharpen filters and body-smudged the horse?
urgh, the colors, i had a ton of fill layers set on different blend modes that i applied selective coloring to.
wow, that sounded a lot more difficult than it was, xD!

This really is lovely. The only issue I have is that little brown dot in front of the right forehoof. But otherwise, you've done beautiful work! xD

thank you, i didn't even notice that! i fixed it! (:

Lovely details! Those splashes are so cute, I guess because they're small and make me imagine the little -splish- sound they would make. I love the tail and the eye too. My only issue is that forehoof. It's supposed to be on the far side of the horse, but it's in front of the rock so it looks like it's crossing over. Otherwise, everything's beautiful.

oh, i KNOW! thank you! i have been staring at this and it is bugging me so much.. i definitely need to go back and change it when i get time.

You're welcome.
You make the horse look so perfect and clean, it's amazing. Especially since it's a white horse, and those NEVER stay pristine. It's almost surreal how perfect the horse looks.

i swear though, i have to thank colourize for most of that. her stock is just.. wow! but i did some cloning, dodging, and desaturating when i body-smudged to make it like this.

Ek! I love the splashes! They look amazing, like always ;].
Even though I can't see a lot I can tell that your smudging is wonderful.
