step 16 of 25
The bottom parts of the horse's legs were made by selecting these region (pen tool), then duplicate this layer, apply the glass filter (in distort filters group) with the tiny lens pattern: distortion: 10, smoothness: 0, scaling: 50%.
step 17 of 25
Cut out some parts on the armor, distort a little bit the fit the region between the front legs and the body of the horse. Duplicate layers to make the iron part around the legs

Put the moon behind the mountain, make it glowing by the same method with the sphere, slightly erase the lower region
step 25 of 25
