» i've been listening to a lot of instrumental Bond, cause i love their music. so I blame them for the inspiration :)

» this was fairly simple, except the mane took me longer than it should have. it started sorrel, but it looked funky so i made it darker.

» the rest of the picture was made using a blue-orange gradient and a few overlay layers of grunge brushes to add some bright constrast.

» i added a bit of saturation, and burned the darker points of the horse to match the shadows in the ground.

» the credit for the photography is given to the amazingly talented Linda Welsh, her work is just gorgeous. i suggest checking out her akhal-teke portraits, i was speechless at the beauty of the horses and the way she captures it.

the detail on the mane is other worldy!
:iconvenomxbaby:
aww glad you do! well its not my most stunning piece, but i guess it has a natural look to it..
:iconneonxteal:
i love how you made the muddy horse look so natural for the background. i never use muddy horses, cause i always think they would make my manips look worse than they already do, but youve shown how they can be used flawlessly.
good job!

"i hate that stupid teal pickup truck you never let me drive, you're a redneck heartbreak whose really bad at lying, so watch me strike a match on all my wasted time, as far as i'm concerned you're just another picture to burn."
:iconvenomxbaby:
oh thank you! yeah i was scared at first, cause i know what you mean. if the horse looks dirty, you wonder how attractive the manip is going to be.. but it was different from the usual beauty-queen horses used in manips and i like changing things up sometimes :)
:iconneonxteal:
well it looks fantastic :D

Was i a fool to think that you would take me home as if I was yours? Was I a fool to think at all?
