Description
Ok a bit of whimsy; very much a "what if" kind of deal. Maybe a little weird:)
As most of you are well aware, I do a lot of Native American inspired horse art; but I got thinking what if the Masai tribe of Kenya also decorated their horses as many of the Native Americans did? So this is what I came up with based on traditional Masai tribal ornamentation and my visit to Botswana whwre I was introduced to to so-called aboriginal "dot painting"(which wherever it started, was alive and well in Zambia:) It was a fun and challenging piece to work on (especially since I really should really have been *working*:) Hope you enjoy!
Production notes: Hours and hours on a totally custom tex map using tribal ornamentation. Rendered in Bryce 6 (yes Bryce 6! I finally have my new MacPro beast:) Lots and lots of postwork with a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet in PS CS.
Dankie!

First reaction to seeing the image come up was "Oh my God this is awesome!" The colors and textures are fantastic. When I brought up the full size image my eyes traveled from the top knot down and before coming to full focus I could see the image of Masai warriors from National Geographic and Smithsonian magazines. Amazing work!
