I need some serious help with this guy! I need to add splashes to him, around the front legs and bubble under the water to show he's moving, but I'm at a loss as to how I might do that! Any help is greatly appreciated! ^^

This is sick. I love the idea.

My trouble with this piece is the horse is very detailed the background is even moreso, so my eyes do not get drawn to the horse because the background is too bright and the horse is too dark. You can blur the background to bring the horse more the foreground.

Amazing job on the detail, especially the underwater part and the face - looks REALLY good

As far as getting it to look dynamic, add streaks of bubbles in a downward motion (like this: https://dissolve.com/video/Underwater-splash-bubbles-slow-royalty-free-stock-video-footage/001-D26-9-733) and more air bubbles around the back end of the horse. Adding whiter splashes and ripples near the contact points of water can help and here are some brushes you can download if you have PS: https://www.brusheezy.com/brushes/57610-free-splash-photoshop-brushes

Hope this helps

Also, I'll go ahead and chuck the finished product in as well: Did a bit of blurring in that background, but I feel like it's still too much. ^^'

Rip it apart!! I can change anything. I kinda feel like something is off with the bg though. Yes. I know it's really red. For some reason, it didn't look that red at all before I saved it so I'll go back and change it.
