Oh that's gorgeous! The background work is lovely, and your lighting is so good

Haha yeah! I only started playing with them fairly recently, but it's less intimidating making them for your own use than it is for someone else xD

I'm new to art (this is like my, 5th manip?) so because I'm seeing improvements every time, I get emotionally attached xD I'm sure I'll plateau and stop caring as much soon lmao, it'll make it easier!

Hi!!

I'm more than happy to help with Ibis. What body prep strategy do you use? Like just touching up the base image or do alter it at all? Feel free to pm me :)

They were doing a black horse with a overo/roan, Its totally normal if you do a pattern over a horse without using grayscale atall.

For patterns, I usually start by using the lasso tool to select the areas that will have the white pattern. Then I use the filter tool and choose Greyscale as the filter I want to use. With that filter, you can adjust the brightness, and I believe you can also mess with the contrast so that your highlights and shadows stay very distinct.

For recolors, I always like to start with a greyscale horse. Then, I typically draw a blob of whatever color I'd like to change the horse to (ex. Chestnut) on a layer above my prepped horse stock. Then, I can use the filter tool on the horse layer, and with the Hue, Saturation Brightness option, I mess around until I get almost the exact color I want. From there, I can always adjust with overlay layers and add points or roaning.

If you need more help, feel free to PM me! I'm not as much of a pro as someone like the awesome Gem, but I understand Ibis pretty well and I've been using it to make manips for roughly a year now.
