Description

out of breath..
“..i am left hoping, someday i'll breathe again...”
Musical Inspiration: Breathe Again by Sara Bareilles
Behind this image;;

A rather late but very Happy Birthday to *alienation whose birthday was on Sunday. I hope you like it honey

I've had the idea for this in my head for a long time, and then the other day I saw the old Guiness advert on my friends blog. Except something a little more elegant. I heard the song on Brothers & Sisters this last week and boom, the manipulation was born.

I don't particularly want any crits on it, but I know that some people won't be able to help themselves, so (as Pamela in Army Wives says) have at it!





I'm only accepting constructive crits on this piece of artwork; nit-picky comments will be ignored, if you have the time to write something nasty you have the time to write something good/helpful to change it to make it better.
Read comment above!


Enjoy,


IMPORTANT
So that you can view my artwork the way that I created it in its full colour and shades, please check your monitors settings; and that you can see all the gradients of colours on this test >> [link] - thank you

Reminds me a lot of the ending of The Last Unicorn where you see the other unicorns coming out of the sea. Love this picture so much!

Lovely - this reminds me of one of my favorite childhood cartoons, "The Last Unicorn" - where the unicorns were hiding in the ocean and appeared in the surf.

Beautiful work! I love how you blended the horses into the ocean foam, it looks so nice
And I really like how you can see the water dripping from the head of the horses, really nice attention to detail!

Amazing! I really love the style you got there. I can only hope that I'll inherit some of your skills by watching you! One question, though, where is the horse jumping off of? Is the water just super shallow? Out of curiosity...

sVa-BinaryStar [2010-11-18 03:24:27 +0000 UTC]

Well I didn't particularly mean it in a creepy sort of way More of like "Your art is so real it could come to life!" way.

This is just magnificent. The color palette is wonderful first off, and then all the details in the water splashes... Beautiful.
