Firefly,
Could you shine your light?
Now I know your ways
...'Cause they're just like mine.

- Breaking Benjamin; Firefly


About the Art ->
I'm not quite sure what to say about this one. I tried to start it more than ten times over the past six months, but every time I've ended up deleting it because it just didn't turn out. I was really close to tossing this one a few times, actually, although I'm glad I didn't, becuase it finally turned out.

Yet another example of my Dr. Frankenstein tendencies- this poor horse got ripped into tiny pieces multiple times. The head and neck belong to a different horse than the body, and some of the legs have been re-painted or adjusted so that they fit the pose. I started the mane and tail on my own, and then came across Arris's AWESOME mane and tail brushes (I'd totally recommend these to anyone who needed them. They're amazing.), and incorporated them into my mane and tail. I think that between my own style of manes and hers, it's not half-bad! They look a little more "fluffy" than Arris's, and I'm glad, becuase those manes and tails really help to define her art, and I wouldn't want to cramp her style. :D The background is a blend, and was created largely by me by using a million gradients.

To me, this manip represents a lot of pent-up feelings, first and foremost being Hope. There's a lot of symbolism going on.

Ether way, thanks for taking the time to look, and pleasepleasepleaseplease full view!!

Cheers!
