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!
