GolemAura says:

very cool Idea.. great subject matter.. wondering if matching the shade of the horse bottom with the head color would be in order.. though this is a fantasy piece and continuty of color is sorta a moot subject.. good luck on this.. (High res would really help in voting, if you have the time.. sbs would be awesome as well) good luck author

author says:

Thank you very much for your comment and advice, all points are very well taken. The color mismatch of the head and bottom had been an issue from the start as it's fairly hard to come by photos of horses that would work for the image (posture of the horse, lighting, clarity, etc.) Justifying the color mismatch to myself, I thought that horses exist which have brown heads and spotted white bodies. However, I would surely have used matching parts for this if only I could. Anyway, as I've said, all your advice are very well taken GolemAura. Thank you very much.

Dragoncide says:

recomend going through deviantart for stock photos of horses, they got great images and depending on the photographer, may be of the exact same horse =D so u might get lucky enough to get 1 image or 2 images of the same horse for both parts. good luck, it is very nicely done, love the design of behind. tho i did read the discription and it said bony. and the guy in the image looks a lil flabbish not with strong bone structure

xtro says:

good job, and GolemAura seems to have a large collection of animal behinds. don't ask why...

The Water Monkey is a mythical creature in Chinese folklore. In stories, it is an animal that lives underwater in one of the many lakes of China. The Water Monkey reportedly likes to drag people under the water, sometimes resulting in a drowning death. The tale of the Water Monkey is used by adults to keep children from playing in the water.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Monkey

When I saw Monkey. I knew I knew I had to do this one. Especially since it was a 'Water' Monkey. So the basics came to mind and thought for more realism, keep it as real as possible. So I kept everything underwater. Found the monkey that looked evilish. Great underground city stock. Also used a 'Splash' image of water which i blended and wrapped around the monkey to give it some type of depth.

A while back on good-tutorials.com I saw a tutorial on which to turn people into water. Obviously it works on monkeys too, go figure lol. Link provided to tutorial as well below. Great tutorial. Must say I did go off and do my own thing on a few of the steps and skipped some of theirs. But without their idea of 'plastic wrap', one filter I used a lot way back in the day. But forgot about it. Hope everyone likes

-NOTE-
I did find several mythical creatures on the wiki page that were identical to many others. Basically there were many duplicates.

Water, Monkey, Myth, Creatures

author says:

BTW will add my own SBS later after i get comments and fix my image best i can. THANKS ALL in advanced for rating and tips.

-NOTE-
Please do look at the HIGH RESOLUTION for a clearer image, it is VERY hard to make a monkey out of water, maintaining its face and features.

ponti55 says:

Very nice effect. Good job!!

OliviasArts says:
