The water that clings to his hooves will never hit the ground, the sand will never show his passing, the sun will never warm his skin.
He's flying with eagles in a place he now calls home...
In loving memory of =gallopracer's Houston. May he fly with eagles forever more...




The Making of Flying with Eagles
Time taken: 10ish hours
Layers: approx 30
Tools: GIMP 2.6, Wacom Bamboo Tablet

I went through countless concept's for this manip before I finally arrived at this, it's relatively simple but I like how it turned out anyway.
Just to explain...there's isn't supposed to be any signs that Houston is galloping on the beach because that is no longer his world, however there is water dripping from his hooves because I believe that some part of him still exists in this world and the water represents that.
