Ashcroft Park Stud

Oooh it’s super pretty! I love the white marking and the eye, really striking

04:55:29 Asfa

Yeah I dug it out from the depths of Adobe. But I suppose I can show it if I'm just going to stash it.

It was my first attempt at messing with white markings and I kinda really like the fur.

Yeah, same except I mostly use Adobe… I guess it might be a bit awkward if you’ve used the same horse and background together but (personally) I don’t see a problem with that. Unless someone has bought sole rights to an image (unlikely and not an option through Adobe!) they’ve no recourse

Same, I was ready to stalk the forums >.>

Fair play! You could always post it in the future 😊 Although now I’m curious to see it!

04:47:30 Oak

I basically only ever pull stock from Colourize-Stock and DancesWithPonies, so I'm convinced all of my horse stock has been used before xD but I get what you mean, it does make it a little awkward when they're directly next to each other in the forum

04:45:23 Asfa

Naw, it was just a "f*ck around and find out" piece so I think I'll leave it. I don't wanna be that person.

04:39:48 Oak

Definitely still post it! There's only so much stock in the world, and I'm sure your style is still unique enough to be different :)

Ashcroft Park Stud

04:38:53 Ash

If it were me, I’d still post it - such is the way of stock images that you’re bound to get people using the same combos! If you’re worried you could add in when you started the piece into the description for your auction

04:34:37 Asfa

Oh man this is awkward. I *just* finished an art piece and was about to put it up for auction... only to find someone posted one earlier today with the exact same stock. Now I don't know what to do with it...

04:32:29 Asfa

Really curious to see how my gaggle of boys do, shame none of them managed a W in bravery.

04:27:49 Oak

It's Andrasta, my EWW from Capture Day, lemme just see if the HEE gods are feeling generous one more time xD

It keeps putting a dot at the end.

What did you do to offend the HEE gods Oak lol

04:12:07 Oak

Nvm, no links for me :')

04:11:41 Oak

-HEE Click- even xD

04:10:06 Oak

Excited about this girl though, -HEE Click- but I'll have to wait for her w4 to match

04:09:11 Oak

Ooh yes! I have Tiolacadh, Candyland (EEE-E Wonka baby) and Tio's first filly (but she had a mediocre w4) who are all grey, hoping I can at least get a couple of decent grey broods

04:06:02 Asfa

I'll have to see if Nayru will give me a nice grey this RO.
Arctic is great for greys but his int is horrible.

04:01:57 Oak

The temptation to hoard grey capture tokens for next Capture Day is incredibly strong, I just wish we could use a token and a map together

Might be able to make a tutorial with pictures soon, but for now I will just type out what I do. :)

First I create a new layer, then I take a red, 1px brush and draw out the shape I want for the hair. Next create a new layer for the base of the hair (put it under the first layer you created), pick the 75% hardness brush and select the base color, set the brush to "Fade Tapering", make sure to set it on reverse (brush size & length will vary). After you have your base done delete or hide the first layer that you created and start on the highlights/lowlights, select about 4-5 colors for this step. After you're finished with the highlights/lowlights merge all the hair layers and adjust the hue and saturation until you get the right color.

I hope this helps, I'm not too good at explaining stuff like this. lol
