Description Speed paint.
1 hour approx. Sorry about the hooves
Pose referenced from Arabian Studs and Stallions magazine Vol. 34


does anyone else notice how dramatic the colour changes are from the original to the ones uploaded on dA?? My original background colour looks nothing like this!

Wow! Only one hour?

As for the color change, could it be the format you save it in? I switched to BMP becouse JPEG was screwing with my color and quality.

DANG!

You may have been working on a CMYK colour profile, use RGB for the web. Even though it's on screen when you are working it, it occasionally goes wacko when it goes on the web, interpreted as RGB. Actually, its might be the way you saved it... If JPG goes fruity, use PNG.

However.. Oh my fecking god! This took you an hour? It'd take me a lifetime!!! D: Everything is awesome, I really love the colour, the shimmers of light and the distilled leg shapes in the bg... So gorgeous! Seriously, get over to that digital magazine website!!!!

ah that might be it! I do a little fiddling in photoshops settings and see what i can do Ive never saved as PNG before, but i'll give it a go..

and thankyou so much for the lovely comment!! Im glad you like it Im trying to change my brush strokes, so they are longer and not so...splotchy? I like the texture it gives and how it draws out on the nuances
and will do! lol its here -> [link] I just uploaded the suenos de oro thing and this one :3
