Description

A little experiment in using primitives to add in things like mane and tail instead of postwork. The horse has no postwork at all thanks to CWRW's awesome packs. I did postwork the rest though. Background is constructed from a LightDome Pro 2.0 sky, a manipulated photograph (gave up after several days of trying to get the effect I wanted from various programs and models) for the water and Nerd3D's Waves on the Beach (sand only). Lights are straight out of the box from LightDome Pro 2.0. Dust, hoofprints and shadow all done by hand. Anyway.. been a rough month.. lot of illness (both my hubby and me.. spent my birthday in bed).. glad to be able to finally post something. Again I am hundreds of emails behind, so slow getting around to your galleries.

It is totally unbelievable that the mane and tail were done with no postwork and with primitives no less. Absolutley killer job on the construction of this magnificent beast. Excellent scene construction. Hope this post now finds you in better health.

I'm with brewgirlca on this one - it's stunning that you did the mane and tail without post-work. This is an amazing image, Sandy. Laurie would be proud, I think. All that work was definitely worth it - this is a first-rate piece. Bravo!

What a beauty! I love the motion of the mane and tail, and the shadows and highlights of the body that highlight his muscles. Excellent lighting on the horse and on the water. Beautiful atmosphere and scene.
