Description Horraay for my cheap Photoshop nebula thingy backgrounds. Eh they look good I guess, I'm kinda addicted. I tried painting a beach background, but again, it just wasn't working. I hope someday I may actually be able to paint half decent scenery backgrounds. But for now, focus on the pretty colours.
I'm very happy with how the horse came out. I have to say it may be one of my best horses that I've done in a while.

I'll be submitting this to the Howrse Black Pearl too

I love this coat! And the Nebula actually works really well! If I may ask, do you draw the reflection in by hand?
And good luck with it getting through voting on Howrse! It's beautiful!

Shinymane1 In reply to ConverseAndCupcakes [2012-03-05 15:50:03 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much No with the reflection I just duplicate the horse, rotate, flip horizontal, add a gaussian blur and lower the layer opacity

Me too, I really want to get a coat through this month

Almost submitted a palomino, but finally decided on a buckskin myself.

Glad you like it

I think I should have made it a buckskin to be honest, you can barely see the mane

Maeix2 In reply to Shinymane1 [2012-03-04 22:16:16 +0000 UTC]

On the right background that white mane/tail will look really good.
