Description
About the Image:
Aranea, the fallen queen of The Chamber. Been putting this one off for a while but figured it was about time (and Shan kicked me the other day to get it done
). She is a black roan and she has orange/red eyes, you can't see her eye very well and if I don't relapse into laziness I might throw up a details shot so you can see I really did paint it lol.Edit: Desaturated the blues a bit on the horse as per request and later incite that black roan =/= blue roan lol -headdesk-

I absolutely adore the sand around and being flung up by the hooves here. Wonderfully done. Any tips and tricks on that?

The original picture had quite a bit of sand flying in it, so I based my sand on that. Used a large splatter brush and instead of just splattering and calling it good (what a lot of people do) I went back and erased a lot of it, leaving only a few splatters. This helped make it real rather then being an obvious splatter brush effect. After that was done I went back on another layer and used a really fine splatter brush and then erased a lot of that with an eraser set at about 30% so it left some of it but most of it was either erased or set to be very transparent. After that it was just shading to make it look real rather then just flung on there lol.
It's really all about layering it and being very picky about what you're left with. Splatter brushes are there to help you not hinder you, just because it makes a certain splatter doesn't mean that you have to leave the whole thing visible xD.

Definitely, definitely. Sand has always been a challenge for me. To me, that's what really pops in this image, especially the sand being pushed up by the fore right hoof. Very well done.
