AHAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS. I have a gelding who likes to snorkel about in the pond-- he'll put his head underwater and paddle about.

One note about the tail- the mane is all floaty like it's underwater, but the tail is kinda hanging as if it were on land. I await the next one eagerly... I'd love to see a horse with floaties!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not satisfied with the tail either, but I tried different things and nothing else looked good. I'm glad you like the mane, it took me forever to get it right. ^_^

I think I might do a horse with floaties. I have an idea in my head and hopefully I can get it into a piece of art.

Haha that's cute!! You should try making the horse have a bluish tint so it looks like it's under the water. Maybe just do a gradient on a low opacity?

I'll try that on my next one. Thanks for the tip!

You're welcome, I didn't really mean to critique it. D: I think it's really cool looking!

Thanks! And I appreciated the tip. This whole thing was pretty much made using new techniques to me, and I've never done a horse underwater before so I didn't even think of the gradient thing.

Haha I understand completely. I always think of something od after the picture is already done. D:

Yeah me too. I also thought about shadows afterwards and realized I hadn't done them until after I had uploaded it to dA. Oh well I'll do it next time. xD
