sorry about the big f*ck-off watermark,
i'm just a parent getting paranoid about my babies. probably won't be there forever, just till i give up caring. this is a blown-up version of 'Emaline', a request completed for a customer at Surreal Studios. the completed copy is only to be used by Raen, and if it is seen to be used by anybody else there will be trouble. ________________________ muse: Raen said to make emaline somewhat outgoing and 'eager', and her quote mentioned something about white-tipped waves. i had already found the grassy ethereal background when i realised this, so decided to try drawing a small flood thing into the background. i'm quite proud of it, seeing as it wasn't there in any shape or form in the beginning. drew in all the foam/waves and everything. -beam- the horse was one of the suggested stock horses Raen wanted, so i found several pictures of this horse and chose the one i thought fit best. drew in the whole mane and tail, without a tablet. grrrrrrrrr. adjusted the eye coloration also, somewhat. the bird came later - Raen had said she didn't want anything dark, and at that stage it looked as if Emaline was running from the waves in panic. so i added in the bird, so that it looked as though she was not running from the waves but in fact running toward/chasing the bird (out of fun). then, a couple of flare textures and voila. done-zo. ________________________ CREDITS: horse stock : [link] background stock : [link] bird stock : [link] texture stock #1 : [link] texture stock #2 : [link] please do not touch - this work is the result of hard work and creative imagination, and for it to be stolen would be a great insult. there are laws - abide by them. |

I didn't want anything changed on it, I only wanted two parts cropped out, and I wanted to use this version instead of the one with text on it.
I did up a version of what I want done, pretty sure it would have been easier if I done it myself, but whatever. Since it's only small crops, I don't want any text on them, so don't watermark/sig/etc. is up too much.

some things tie your life t o g e t h e r, with slender threads of things to t r e a s u r e. days like that should last and last and last . . .
i'm sorry if you find it inconvenient, but it's a condition of ordering a picture at a studio unfortunately.
i'll get right onto cropping the image and placing credits, and when they are finished (sometime tonight hopefully) i will upload them to photobucket and note you the links.

all i meant was i don't want it to be really super visible, like overlay it or something? know what i mean?
sorry if i came across as bitchy : P

yep i know what you mean, i will try and make it as invisible as possible while still readable enough that the links can be followed. apologies, it's not done yet as i pretty much passed out last night but i will hopefully get it done this morning.
