EDIT: Woke up this morning and slapped myself for posting this without bothering with the splash. 2am is not a good time to make decisions clearly. Anyway finished developing splash this morning. But looking at it now in the afternoon, I'm still not happy. I may go back in refine the splash some more paha.

_{The idea has being lofting about in my head for a while. So today I decided I may as well get it out my head.
I really wanted to do that partial underwater photoshop technique a few have done, which led to me brain storming then I remembered my water horse idea, and merged the two to end up with this... A horse diving and becoming the water horse

Execution not superb, I probably should of spent more time on this rather than the slap it together job you see here. I think the tail is a bit too strawy and straight, and splash is pretty bad to the point I may re-do them tomorrow... I'll wait for the feedback first, then I will see how I feel tomorrow!
I like the underwater I drew... I know it isn't fabtastic, but I'm proud. I'm not a natural drawer/painter in the slightest you see. I'm trying to improve though!
I also concidered doing the whole two different colours/saturation thing here, like how people have like one colour/side saturated or a total different colour. I sorta did that, just in a really muted format.
Bubbles! The horse was gonna be a horse hsaped bubble, but I worried it would have issues swimming in the deep Bubble mane! Bubble mane!

Oh, and I may turn this into the first of an elemental series.... Undecided.

Credit where credit due, to the awesome stock providers!

Incredible work! This might sound a bit arrogant, but it takes quite a bit for me to comment when people use my stock, because im so lucky that a lot of people use my stock.
But your piece is very well made. The underwater part is the best in my oppinon. How you paid details to the bubles (not only close to the horse), but also the sunlight. Briliant work!

Thank you so much for using my stock into this piece of art!!!
