A loooong time ago, I saw a picture sort of like this on Elfwood. (Anyone here remember Elfwood? XD) It was a deer and not a horse, was a traditional painting, and looked WAAAAY different than this, but that's okay. I only saw it the once and it's nothing more than a vague memory now, but I wanted to tip my hat to it, more or less.

This is the first manip I've really been able to do for a while. It worked on it on and off for a few days--in the morning before school started, in-between homework, a good hour in here, so on and so forth. I finally feel like it's done, and I couldn't be more proud. I learned a lot of things during this, like a newer, much better way to smudge the mane and tail. I'm really pretty proud of it, and it feels good being able to do a manip like this again. ^_^

It's pretty much free to interpretation. The title (props to my mom for that one) suggests my opinion. I think this is sort of like skydiving--you do it for fun, but it's not like it's something to laugh at. So this guy is having fun, but he's also doing something dangerous and stupid at the same time. But like I said, that's up to you!

<sup>ETA: I'm thinking I like it better without the antlers; they seem distracting. Thoughts?

ETA 2: Fixed that annoying sort of glowy line across the top.</sup>
