_____
As Stacey entered the stable, her heart lept a few beats. Her Employer, Tiffany Rach, has her jumping Phantom at an Extreme Show. Although she trained Phantom, she was stil leary as to it would be his first show. She new he could do it, but after an accident that happened a month ago that prohibited them from entering another show, she was too sure of his abilities.

She entered his stall and saw the resting stallion with his stable sheet on with his shipping gear. he perked up when he heard her enter and nickered to her. She smiled at this.....

At the show...

"Are you sure his legs are fine?" asked a worried Stacey. Tiffany looked at her with a "WTH?" expression and checked Phantom's legs for the eigth time.
"Stacey, his legs are fine. You better get your confidence up, or he will falter over those big jumps. He's fine, you're fine, and just BREATH. The accident is in the past, the future is what you can control." With that Tiffany gave Stacey a hug, and a pat to Phantom. She left the two to be alone, and sat next to her husband to watch Stacey and Phantom take on the "Most Extreme" in Show Jumping.

Awards:
Personality: As a foal Phantom, was a playful but yet contributed towards the dominant side of things. He was the bully in the foal herd. But when trained for leading, he was always willing to learn new things. Tiffany is most expectant of him with hoping a great personality but with boldness and class. Phantom already showed excellent dressage skills when he played out in the pasture, but when faced with small pasture obsticals he leaped over them like he had wings. Tiffany is very pleased with this future Stallion. He is full of personality, and boldness that he is more of an eventer.

I was wondering what you used for the mane and tail? Like brush wise

starlightpaths In reply to HGSHorses [2011-01-26 20:40:54 +0000 UTC]

well i just blobed the mane color, then i used a lighter and darker version of the mane color. I used a hard brush nothing bigger than 5px and drew the mane (both in the dark color and light color. then i used the dodge tool and used a big size for one spot highlight then i used the burn tool one spot dark. Then i put both the burn and dodge tool nothing bigger than 5 px and again drew the mane lines into it. then i used the smudge tool at the power of 87 and no bigger than 9px and again drew my mane out. the dodge and burn tool have to be the fuzzy edge or it'll look wierd. does that help you?

lol no problem just remember where you want it highlighted or shadowed that will be the best and could either make or break it just a word of advise. make sure that the mane and tail are on different layers. that will make it even easier

Your welcome I won't bother entering into big competitions like these. I know I'll lose to the more popular artists here on dA. So I'm going for the smaller shows that I can find.

starlightpaths In reply to pomhappymydog [2011-01-24 21:29:20 +0000 UTC]

well the reason why i entered is cuz shes not picking. The numbers are going to go through random.com so its not based on your drawing

pomhappymydog In reply to starlightpaths [2011-01-24 21:31:56 +0000 UTC]

I hate that too though. I think it should be based on the breed, conformation, past winnings, and have some of it be random and some of it be based on art.
I think they should be more realistic with how you win.
