Description I've been drawing these horses ever since I saw a comic book cover depicting the rare card, nightmare back in 1997. I've recently really gotten into playing the game, and at this point, Nightmare is probably my favorite card. I've also been thinking about sending a portfolio into Wizards of the Coast. This is a practice run for one piece. I'm not particularly good with digital painting, so this is one attempt. It's a combination of vectors (the horse's body), and airbrush (highlights and everything else). I personally think the vector shapes are too noticeable, but I'm also too close to the project to really tell. I'd really like to hear what anyone has to say!

Only at places are the vector lines a bit noticable, but in all, it's all blended to well very nicely. It's a bit blurry, but maybe you wanted that effect. However, this is a wonderful piece. Great job.

this is awesome...
could you export the vector lines into photoshop, duplicate the later and blur the bottom layer to get rid of the hard edge? I think this is what you were talking about with the noticable vectors...
very nice

did you do this in photoshop or illistrator??? i know if you did it in photoshop you can take the layer that the horse is on and duplicate it, if you do then take the bottom layer of the horse and use a gausian blur filter on it. it will make the top layer of the horse look like it doesnt have vector lines because theyl be a llil blurry on the outlide making them blend more... i think i said that rigt... if you did it in illistrator...
well...
then....
put it in photoshop and do it that way... lol...
its really nice though... i love the colors
