Description Applejack made of ice.

Sooo. I have no idea whether this looks any good.
I kind of like it - but then again I've just discovered what you can do with filters and masks...

There's another more ethereal-esque looking version of this pic - which I showed to . But I liked this one better.

Tell me what you think.
Background found on the internet, the rest drawn by mouse.

Dude, this looks freaking awesome. I need to figure out how to work this magic.

I'm glad you like it. It seems to be a rather divisive picture, though. People either love it or hate it.

As for creating it... I used a tree brush and gaussian blur for the cracks. The shades of blue are the result of some colour balancing on a seperate layer.

Yeah, that's true...
Oooh, nice. You're finding new special things on GIMP that I never would have thought of doing. XD

Yeah... Most of it was trial and error. As for the brush - I wondered "How can I create jagged lines more easily?" Then it struck me. Tree branches, of course (probably due to the fact that I've got four potted trees on my windowsill right in front of me ). So I googled that and found out that you could download tree brushes. And that I did. ^_^

Oooh, very nice. trial and error is usually the best way to find new combinations to get good effects.

Yeah, I think I'm getting the hang of it. When I started about ten weeks ago I knew hardly anything.

Keep on trying. ^_^
It all comes down to figuring out what layers, masks and filters do.

Why the hell is this featured in the "AppleSpike" group? Why and how does that group even exist?!

OT: Love it just as much as your other Applejack pic. Nice work!

C-Cain In reply to GardBreaker [2012-01-10 12:32:36 +0000 UTC]

I don't know. They asked me to for permission to feature it in their group.
I'm not questioning it. ^_^

And thanks.
