Description

No one can use this but me. You may use it as a desktop background, or as a printed out poster for your room, as long as you don't claim it's yours or sell it, etc. Only personal use.

This piece was actually inspired by the water stock. I decided to make a premade background for later. I was also searching for warmblood stock for a manip I was going to make (should probably get to it XD). So I decided to make a sunset, or sunrise background, since the colors are beautiful. I came across the one I have used, and decided it was perfect for the image. It was a sort of serene color scheme. I then decided that it would suit a horse wading in it chest deep or so. I actually came across three stock images that looked good for it, but decided on this one since the looking back would give it more emotion. I then prepped it, and did the mane and eyes and ripples, but it looked plain. I remembered this manip I once saw, a horse standing in a pool of water with barnacles on it's face, so I decided to do something like it. I didn't got the full way and do all over the face, only it's cheek. The starfish were the nearly final touch. The final touch was the seaweed in it's mane and tail. The mane looked plain in contrast, so I decided to add to it. Aaanyways, the piece to me seemed to be a bittersweet moment, heading towards the sun, and looking back at possibly land, though it was finally going where it was supposed to be (starfish and barnacles and seaweed sort of point out the fact that it belongs in the sea). I then searched for a quote, and found the one I have that suits it perfectly (well, it made me more decisive about what the manip was about).

The background merging is so effective and real. The mane and tail are gorgeous and the starfish barnacles really take it to the next level. Well done.
