Tag As FavoriteComment		Painted in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 from scratch.

This is Cristallin Arrose, a soquili who loves water. He comes from an RP universe created by Sirenz (the same person who created the characters in my "Childhood" picture, also found in this gallery). Soquilis are magical horses, reincarnations of the Wind Horse of the Choctaw legend.

I thought this picture wouldn't come out very good because I don't have much experience painting underwater scenery. I had a solid idea of how the lighting would work, though (it's pretty simple as you can see -- a single light source supplemented by the aquamarine color of the surroundings), and that was enough, as it turned out. I'm rather happy with the result.

By the way, the horse himself has a turquois coat. The cyan coloration isn't *just* from the underwater-ness.

This is great! Really original! I would like to see another version, with the middle of the body compacted a little, the perpective of the horse’s right foreleg adjusted a bit, and the head lifted, so we see the bottom of the jaw--as if the horse is looking toward the surface. Once again, a SUPER painting!
