Description

I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up, take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion, yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now come down

---

Gotta admit, I'm pretty happy with this one. There wasn't anything about it that made me super frustrated, it just kinda did what I wanted it to x] Yay.
This was my first time at doing hoof prints, and I know they're not perfect, so critique on that is very welcome ^_^
The horse was a little difficult to work with 'cause the original image was smaller than what I'm used to working with, which is why the mane and tail painting is kinda lacking detail.

Here's a smaller version for Carma Academy's header contest : [link]

I like it. The tail is blowing in the ocean breeze. The mane and tail look like she's been at the beach all day.

I love the tail, it fits the mood and it gives a realistic touch, like the wind blowing. And great hoof prints

The only thing that makes me cringe is the horse's mane and tail. The mane is like weird. It looks like a mop. The tail, it's all stringy and looks unnatural. Since the horse is walking, wouldn't the tail hang more straight down?

Yeah, I know the mane is weird. The original picture was really small so it was hard to add detail. I know I should just have chosen a larger picture, but the position was just so perfect. lol. As far as the tail goes, take a look at the original picture. I painted over top of it, so it should be more or less correct

Thank you
Yeah, the darkness of this picture really covers up how horrible the hoof prints really are xD
