Description Little girls dream about soft clouds and pretty little horses, cantering through their vision, and they are pure. Only the bravest of children take these dreams into teenhood, and scarce few can keep them into adulthood. Those who can, those who never stop believing, are always better off than those who brush the dreams away along with their childhood.
And only those who don't give up the pink clouds and blue horses, ever have true, sweet dreams.

I have to say I'm proud of this one. Discovery of the Airbrush brush in Photoshop has brought about a revolution for Pheonian art. No smudge tool.

It seems rather incomplete, for some reason. I think it's the emptyness, the simplicity, the lack of proper detail, the clouds which repeat themselves. *shrugs* Placement and layout is awful as usual. Just concentrate on the pretty blue horse.

I'm debating adding a horn, but I really just prefer the horse by itself.

Anyone want to see detail shots/WIP shots/a walkthrough?

D'you think this is worth making into a print? O_o;

Time taken: About 2 and a half hours.

Don't you dare take this picture. The only thing you are allowed to do with it is look at it, and possibly show others. Don't claim it as your own or you shall die at my hoof.

I love it! It looks like the horse poked its head up through the clouds. Great work!
