When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

Born of Water.
The first in a series of elemental pictures. This too was a project for a Secret Santa, and this one took longer than the other I think. The mane and tail... Oh gods! I did and redid, redid those and redid it again. I finally just gave up. The twigs weren't bothering me... it was just everything else. I think I was having a bad day. Anyhow, this is it in its (almost) entirety. There's a little more of the pic that I opted to crop out due to the fact that it just wasn't needed. The little hole/waterfall is actually two pics of the Niagara Falls blended together, and there for no other reason than the fact that I looked at it and just decided to put a watery pitfall in. Same goes for the snake... honestly, did you even notice the snake before reading this? LOL Most people seem to look over it. Done with CS2 and a Wacom Intuos3.

never be flat, never be sharp, always be natural
The most important things to remember is to, firstly, go with the flow of the movement, and to remember that hair travels in clumps, not individually. There'll always be the fly-away strands, but the vast majority is left together. Use lots of layers when doing manes/tails, too, dodge, burn, use a few different colors. I usually pick my highlighting colors from the picture around it; if there's a yellowish/orangish sunset, then let the highlighting colors reflect that. The flow is very important too, though, because if it's moving wrong then the whole pic will look off. I'm sure you knew that, though.
