KPH,
Oh he'd absolutely think it's his. He already rules his "kingdom" that is actually my bedroom and art room lol

I'll talk to everyone in a little bit, going to be scrubbing out a bird cage real quick!

at least if he ran his own cafe(because he'd totally believe it's his xD) he'd have people around every corner to bend to his every whim and wish xD

Perhaps they'd actually ENJOY his opinions. Oh man, when he wants loves, he makes it KNOWN! He'll squeak and keep squeaking until I pick him up!

That's super cute, too! I just like making cookies and cake and such. Maybe a cat bakery would be better. :)

my buddy and I talk about setting up a cat bar. or cat pizzeria. And we'd adopt all the cats who are older or have been looking for homes for over 2 years. And we'd have special feline safe drinks or pizza or snacks that people could buy to feed the kitties

KPH,
When I mentioned I wanted a needy cat, they had smiled at me and said perfect, and I knew I was going to have options. LOL. They said I'm their people, and have been asking me to work with them ever since.

Athena,
Just remember to give yourself lots of patience <3

It's hard because I want to do it but it makes me miserable. I definitely understand why some artists quit and I wouldn't beg them to come back

Ooo! Ooo! *raises hand timidly* I think it came from her original name, Liberty Rock, and was a shortening of the "Liberty" (?). Kinda like Dimrill...Dim...



Or Cel XD

Lib, how do you make realistic lighting in the background?



You have to pay attention to the original shadows. If all the shadows are going to the left, I'm going to add a light source to the right. To add light, I take a large soft round brush and on a new layer, I paint in light using a light off white. I then set the layer mode to soft light, screen, or overlay (depending on how intense I want the light to be) and then adjust the opacity of the layer. I usually like to have light on one side or corner of the image, and then using the same technique on a new layer a paint a slight vignette opposite my light source using a dark color from the background. Then I set that layer mode to soft light or multiply.

If that didn't answer your question please let me know as I'm not quite sure that's what you meant. :)

Also guys, I'm in the process of creating some tutorials that will hopefully explain some of this things better than just text. A picture's worth a thousand words, right? If anyone has something they would like to see a tutorial cover let me know. :)

Ooh thanks fir the answers lib!

Another few that I was gonna ask earlier and forgot lol

4. Would you ever consider doing a peice (premade maybe?) one version completed with gimp using the exact same stock and concept and one with PS?

5. Do you have any tips for someone starting out with mane and tail painring

6. Do you prefer smudging manes and tails or painting them



4. Possibly, but I do not have gimp on my current computer. I will say, most of the techniques are pretty much the same for both gimp and PS.

5. I would absolutely recommend searching DA and YouTube for mane/tail tutorials. Jello also has a good one:

https://horseeden.com/forums.php?f=17&t=20014

My technique is a bit similar to this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM0zyUK688M

And there are many more out there that work just as well, if not better. Practice a lot, study lots of others painted hair, and find what works for you. :)

6. I suppose this depends on what I'm going for, and what I have to work with. If I'm doing a natural looking piece, and/or if the stock horse I am using has a nice mane and tail to start with, I will probably smudge and paint in some highlights and a few low lights. If I'm doing a fantasy piece in which I want the horse to have long, curly, or unusual hair, or if my stock horse's hair is atrocious I will paint it myself.

I personally feel like my smudged hair is not very well done, and so if I can't get it the way I like I will fall back on my painting skills. But as a personal preference I really love well done smudged hair just as much as beautiful painted hair.

So I'm trying to draw my own mane/tail for the first time..
So far I've only done the tail. Any tips on how to make it better?

And incase the mods need to know it's stock since I forgot to put it on the piece: https://www.deviantart.com/xxmysterystockxx/art/Grey-Andalusian-11-498405454

I will be adding a BG later. :)
