Oh aren't I creative with the titles today. :P

I am very happy with how this turned out. I put a lot of effort into the horse. Originally I wasn't going to change it so much, but I got a little carried away. I decided to change the horse from black to chestnut because I thought it would fit the background better that way. That looked a little boring to me so I added the Appy markings. The spots were hard to do, I kept making them look too organized. Lastly I painted the mane and tail, and I love how they came out. :aww:

I was going to add text. In fact, I made this whole image with a specific quote in mind, but I just couldn't get it on there nicely. I think it looks great without the text, though.

Feel free to fav and/or comment. Critiques are welcomed if you have something constructive to say. Although I rarely go back and rework finished manips, I always take critiques into consideration for my future work.

Wow, I never would've guessed that the horse was originally black; you did an amazing job with the recoloring! The mane and tail look great too, nice work (:

Hmm, well your cousin must have a great mind too then. You know, since we both say it, great minds must think alike. :rofl:

Wow, that's an amazing recoloration. And I love the tail. Plus, I've JUST been doing appy markings and they're nearly impossible- GREAT job on those!

As for critique? The shadow is going the wrong way! Really, there's nothing else except the background you chose has too-smooth blending between the grass and sea, but you can't really help that.

I love this. (It's so very nice to my tired eyes.) Once again, I'm jealous of that horse. Can't wait for another!

This looks really great!

I was noticing your skill for changing the horses coat color.....How do you do that so that it looks good? Got any tips for me?
