Don't Tell Me If I'm Dying.by ~PoeticJustice314

So I've had a bit of an art-block lately. I swear, I've started at least 2 other manips., then wasn't satisfied, so I just gave up on them and left them unfinished. It's a miracle that I actually finished this one!

I wanted to try to make a picture that has a sad, dark mood, but without physicially making the piece dark (as in color/lighting.) This is pretty light, with baby blues and purples. Hopefully it conveys said mood fairly well. If not, well, I guess I failed! But I think the horse looks pretty lonely and depressed, how about you guys? xD

The flower... Gah. I spent what seemed like hours trying to get it in the right position! First I had it lower, but I didn't like it, so I moved it up, and to the right, and resized it, then made it larger again, then proceeded to move it somewhere else. Ohmygod, that flower was going to be my demise! I'm still not sure that I like where it is currently, but oh well.

Edit: I made a totally new tail, and made the forelock and mane slightly longer. I like it better this way!
