Description [[ full vieeeeew]]

Carbon-14, a mare, part of the "radioactive isotopes" types. Isotopes are often called the "zombie free radicals" though this does them little justice. They're highly organic in nature and often are seen in sickly hues, with body parts falling off and flesh surging and bubbling, their bodies dynamic.

Carbon-14, or just 14, is constantly shedding her skin. It dries and crinkles off, littering the ground wherever she walks. Hair grows in through thick woven braids, almost like tendrils. She's oblivious to much of the world around her, lost in her own quaking skin as she tears it off. She'll eat all of it, recycling the dead-nutrients, only to have it fall off again. Bitter and aloof, she's still *my* steed. Ahah.

Photoshop. Dunno how long.

The peeling skin makes me feel yucky all over, certainly a good thing from a piece like this XD Ick, ick, ick. REALLY good.

Very cool idea. You did a particularly good job on the stretching skin.. and the colors of the whole piece are very fitting. Nice job.

Something about her legs looks a little off... don't know what... not that I'm pro at horses or anything. But it's interesting.

Again, a case for "rent-your-brain.com" - i would be a customer!

Seriously, another awesome idea brought to "paper" in a well-done way! BUT.. (yes, there's a but : Considering the position of the sun i would've given it some more shading. But if you don't want that for the sake of details: The shadow of the body in whole should be visible and pointing towards the viewer. The way it is atm makes the horsey float a little. ;3

Yeah, I realized it should be a lot darker, but I kinda ignored the positioning of the sun. Technically, the entire side *could* be in shadow and the other side is glaring bright. But, yeah, it's a pic of a whacky horse, so I kinda rushed it.Teeehee.

I love this, great subject, kinda sad though. Beautiful colours.

My iguana eats the dead skin off his hands lol! He pulls it off with his teeth and eats it. But then he also eats soil, his own dried up poo, my hair, carpet fluff, basically anything he finds. Filthy little creature

wow, looks great, nice color! I think you should work on the detail of the background so it matches the hourse a little better. other than that the subject looks fantastic
