The mane is actually the tail portion of the Lilithai Stigoia set with the feather parts removed parented to the neck and then shaped to conform using the dial controls and then rendered. After that, I used CWRW's MNT 3 to fill in the gaps between some of the feathers. The other portion where the textures are is an overlay done with a filter in filter forge called Tigress version 2 Tigress - Variation 2 it has about 30,000 variations and the Pro version of Filter Forge lets you customize settings for roughness grain etc. you can also use the randomizer. So that is what I have done with the filter, but it wont let you save out as a transparent (some filters do allow for that option with the pro verison) .png. So, I loaded it into Photoshop and then used the contrast and brighten settings and the magic eraser tool to make it transparent then placed it over the scale layer. The scale layer is placed over CWRW's bay roan coat layer and then set to about 8 % opacity and there are a ton of scale generators in Filter Forge ....... can't remember which one I used this one Scale Maker 1.0 (Texture) or this one Palm (Texture) the Palm bark generator, but it was in the organics section.
Nice thing about Filter Forge is most filters come with the seamless tile option!

Wow, inspired is right...her work is great!
Sorry I missed this and thanks!!
Yeah, I'm not sure what is up with it, but that portion in the middle of the set of feathers on the wing wants to not behave correctly and breaks through to the other side of the arm. The pose I have here is from the malaik set. I think it has to do with the way these longer pointed feather/wing things are handled as they tend to be more ridged than supple like the Malaik wings.
BTW: Not sure if anyone is interested, but Arki, Kim Schneider is holding a webinar on making hair and accessories Another webinar in the works starting July 22nd.
She certainly does marvelous stuff. I'm in the process of rebuilding my sawhorse. This time with the fact that it's going to need to be UV Mapped in mind from the beginning. But I'm not going to attempt trying to do clothing for any figure any time soon. Props are enough of a challenge.
Thanks!! I'm So, thrilled you think I did an amazing job!!
With my uncle's recent diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma that has spread to his lungs and the fact that his heart is too weak to take chemotherapy and he has blood clots so that means surgery is out all of yours and everyones kind words have meant the world to me!!
Yet another doctor's appointment tomorrow for possible chemotherapy alternatives, and then back to the wound center in a few days as he fell going from the bed to the wheelchair and really cut up his arm. Keeping our fingers crossed.

Thanks Miss B.Geeze NA, here's hoping his arm heals up quickly, and also that the doctor can find an alternative to chemotherapy.
They are looking at a few hormone treatments to try, but it might be possible to target specific cells with a new method they have come up with that targets DNA markers. It's not essentially chemotherapy more like gene therapy. Won't know until they do the tests though. Sorry for dragging this out here. I probably should delete the posts about it.

Pinging for good information.
Thanks!
Awe !
talked to my son...then bought Amazon.com: Wacom Bamboo Splash Pen Tablet (CTL471): Computers & Accessories
he said tablet I got last time had wrong mode...this one I can rest my hand ON it, while using pen...also been watching youtubes on how to use, how it works...have HOPE again...holding a pen=no real thumb joint (last joint of thumb BAD) movement!!
I've been using a Wacom for decades. My first one was a Graphire, and then I got a Bamboo Fun years later. I could use a new pen, but they don't make that particular model any more. ~sigh~
You should find the tablet much easier to use than a mouse.

I'm a wacom tablet user myself. I use a Wacom Intuous 3. I think they are up version 4 with various splits like Intuous Pro nowadays. I bought that tablet back around 2008 and it's worn quite well. I still don't need to replace it when I pair with Photoshop for comics. I'd post a comic picture of mine here but this is a horse thread!
Thanks everyone!! I appreciate all of you!!
Only time and tests will see if we can over come this.
