Description Boy lets see from 2:30 to 6:10pm..... But i'm pretty happy with how it turned out! I took much longer on that background, and tried smoothing out those muscles some more, but I don't think it helped, it still look pretty messy.... I might have to do what some of you do... just not use the dodge and burn tool! I'll have to try that sometime! So besides that, I am verrry proud of this! I love the background and the sky (looks awesome in small view!) And then everything else including Sunset, look pretty good in the large view! So yeah this really does look more like a girly background for a guy, but it's sort of to go with the drawing I did of Flame: [link] Only this one is much better! So YES this is Sunset, Flames guy... He is a mustang, but i did use a french Saddle bread to draw him, I loved the pose, so I couldn't help it!
His Stats:
Sunset: Colt-Stallion
Breed: Mustang
Height: (grown up) 17.0 hands
Bright shiny palomino coat, mane and tail streaked with gray, and gray on legs and muzzle. has a stocking on both hind and fore leg on left side,blue eyes.

Oh god... I'm having a bit of a pink mania and this one isn't really helping... Lovely work. Very... sweet.

Haha, mine neither.

I have way too many things to do but trades could be fun. Maybe I should write a journal about trades sometime in the near future and see if anyone'd be interested & have the time. Like after I've done the portfolio & exhibition works. (= like never at this rate)

I think you really succeed in that then I'd never have the patience to put so much detail in it

Aww it's so bright and happy!

The only thing I might suggest is deepening the shadows a little, but really, it has a fantasy element that works very well.

OMFG! How do you do those backgrounds?? Seriously, I mean they're breathtaking! where do you get the inparation!? Everything here looks so....real!!

Flaming-Sunset In reply to omnipsionic [2009-01-30 16:42:24 +0000 UTC]

haha! well... I think most of it comes from what's going on inside me! Like I always imagine my backgrounds, and make them match with my mind picture as best I can! And also mixing other backgrounds done by other artists helps too, it makes a brand new background!
It looks real? really?! YAY! I've been hoping that it would! Thanks ever so much!!!

haha thanks! It's a little new for me, the way I'm doing my manes now, but i'll tell you, this mane took particularly long to do! Do you draw horses? Because I know of a tutorial that could help you learn to do manes!
