Description Life for you has been less than kind,
Take a number,
Stand in line.
Survive - Rise Against.

I love this song...it was my main inspiration for this one. Pretty much describes my life atm. Just trying to survive.

First mane/tail since getting my tablet, , I can say I'm fairly pleased but that's all. Otherwise, it's fail. as usual.

Thanks to the stock providers -

Oh, and sorry if it's dark for some of you, I brightened my screen big time to work on this.

Stop selling yourself short, there isn't a single part of this manip that's even close to "fail". The blending on the mane and tail and practically everything else is beautiful, and I love the mood - kind of dark, but there's a bit of hope in the horse's expression, and the silver lining in the clouds.

Thank you so very much, you're so sweet. That is exactly what I was going for - the mood and feel, as it relates very closely to how I've been feeling lately. I'm so glad someone else could spot that

Wow Ray, gorgeous. I love it.
I need to know how you did the sky and the blending on the hooves.
Definitely one of my favourites from you dear.

Thank you so much, Vik hun!

For the sky I really didn't do much. If you'll look at the original stock it was pretty awesome on it's own! I just cut it out with a fuzzy brush and did the layer on overlay.

For the hooves, you're gonna think I'm weird, but I usually use a snowflake eraser brush I have. It sounds odd but the reason why it works is because it has intricate designs that, when used to erase the hooves, looks like grass.

I have...different..approaches, but they work for me. Hope that explains it?
