Description





To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up...

-snow patrol



Phew. Finished! This was meant to be a speed manipulation, and I work ALL FREAKING DAY on it...no lie, from 10:00am till 8:00pm. Hmm, I guess I get caught up with detail.

This won 70k in ~PixXyAngel 's horseland desktop contest! yay!

I can honestly say that this is my best yet, I love it <3 The mane and tail were a pain in the butt...my hand is cramped up so bad right now...I will not try to do anything in one day again >.< Oh, and my eyes are so screwed up...

Oh, and get this. Tomorrow I have to do my end of school year test...with a cramped up hand and screwy eyes...nice, eh?



Made with: Gimp 2.6, Bamboo pen tablet

Time taken: 7 hours


Credits...

*edit

yea, the tail is a bit fanned out and thin, but I'm too lazy to go back and fill it out a bit...just pretend he's a baby unicorn...^_^

i LOVE this. I wish you could do a tutorial on this. I have GIMP but haven't quite seemed to add this much detail to my pictures.

Falloth In reply to HL2680896 [2011-05-21 22:41:05 +0000 UTC]

aww, thank you ^_^

I might could make a walkthrough for it, the detail on the other hand, I can't really explain. It takes patience and a tablet.

Wow this is amazing! Can I ask, 1. how did you get the frame? 2. How did you get that amazing colouring?

Also I see your on stock exchange! I really want to join, but I just well to afraid? Don't suppose you could show me around?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Falloth In reply to Dashing-Designs [2011-05-16 20:34:28 +0000 UTC]

awww, thank you! I was confused on how to get the frame too, all you have to do is take a big hard brush, and make a frame around the image (note: it doesn't have to be good, just so there is some sloppy black around the edge ) then select all, shrink the selection and erase the bleh on the outside and if you want to do the white, select the inside of the black frame, and repeat the other steps and then set the layer on a lower opacity! then, tada you have a pretty little frame around the image!!

Haha, I made a layer from visible, then set it to overlay. then I made a new layer, got a neon-y yellow, and set it to overlay, then lowered the opacity, and it came out pretty nice


yea, I was afraid of sxc too, but I broke down and joined it really is pretty simple. Just make an account and search what you want on the left sidebar of course you have to read the stock provider's usage options before using, but they're not really strict at all

late reply, eek sorry!
ahh I see, I always did this and it never worked, or atleast it wasn't very good. but doubling up the layers really helps! thanks!
haha, well I have joined now! I just have to try not to do anything wrong!

EfahWinchester [2011-05-16 04:23:58 +0000 UTC]

This is beautiful.
Although, I feel as though the base of the tail is a little bit too thin, and perhaps too fanned out, also.
Other than that, stunning.
Particiularly love the mane.
