For the first time, I used layers.
The problem with it is the fact what you do in photoshop is SO much lighter than what is seen -out- of the program. It's odd. C_c;
Eitherway. I originally wasn't gonna finish nor develop this character. Courtney, Hellcorpceo of DA, had made a character named Voodoo. Well I was so taken with the name I wanted my own cajun themed horse.
When she had created her "Season of the Witch" picture, was further reluctant. But after showing Courtney the sketches of Grisgris (which is a term for a good luck charm in creole/cajun voodoo), she poked me until I agreed to finish her.
Courtney also have me some colorin' tips. So I applied'em n' tried to see if I couldn't create a decent picture. Am very disappointed at how dark this is opposed to how it is. Grisgris is inspired by a lot of voodoo dolls and relects I did when I did research (bones in the skin inspired by Spawn's creator's "Voodoo Queen" sculpture/toy.

; It's not supposed to do that.
Your photoshop is calibrated wrong then

i think it looks great. the darkness of it adds to the atmosphere of the image. Grisgris is an awsome horse. i love the bones in the skin thing. creepy. and all the dolls and relics hanging in the trees add a lot to the image. just the horse wouldn't have nearly the same effect as it does with all the other elements of the picture. great job.

I like how it came out. I have a lap top, so everything I see is lighter than it is on a regular computer, so... uhh... yeah. It doesn't look TOO dark here.
Love it. The name makes me giggle, but then again, I read Anita Blake and her first adventure story contained a GrisGris, so I know what they are.

MyGod how awesome this is. It's got a very orginal design and background, and goodness, you must have taken quite a while with the mane and tail because it's uber-awesome.
Great job as always!!!
