if you download the pic, and zoom in you will see theres alot more detail than what you see in the zoomed out 100% view
im trying to figure out how to do realistic reflections atm, but getting the opacity to where i can still see the eye under it just isnt cooperating. that and trying to get a more realistic reflective shine is UGH pull my hair out frustrating. I'll figure it out eventually though lol. i may have no hair left, but ill do it.

the eye is alot of using different opacitys with the smudge tool and pulling the colors through each other to create that blended look, but its time consuming because each swipe is a different angle, then using different dodge, and burns at different levels to create the "lines" then going back over and smoothing it, then adding more color lol yea you get the idea, its a pain. but the end result is worth it

I may have to try it at least once I can't do that much editing without losing my mind so I have to take breaks xD

my fingers were locking up lol but i prefer to get things done, lest i will go back look at it and scrap it all, and start totally over. i think when i did his and Rash's photos i went from 6:30am to about 7-8pm with only breaks being to eat and bio lol. I've always been that way with my art though, once i start i dont quit till its done, I think back in HS i did an oil painting i was up for 2 1/2 days till it was finished.

OMG God your colt is so gorgeous! All of your horses, I have to buy a horse from you, their conformation is just, I mean there is no way to explain for the most part but the closest is perfect! I was wondering, what world do you use? It is also stunning!

I thought I was the only one like that XD I remember I did this intricate black and white nature themed drawing in high school only to find out we had to take that greyscale drawing and do a cut out version with construction paper....so I had to cut out vines, leaves, plants, swirls etc....I think it took me 4 days...I eventually passed out but I'd wake up and continue going... XD
