Dusty

This is an image I drew with the Wacom Intuos4 Med size, in Photoshop CS4. I submitted this to the group Illustration Friday on Flickr, the word of that week was 'dusty'.



When I thought of the word dusty, I thought of the Old West and the horses in Old Western movies that always created large clouds of dust.
I wanted to make this image realistic, but at a closer look, not at all. The horses are quite choppy but I like the look, it makes them almost seem as if they are made of dust. I tried to use that same idea in the background.



For the illustration I used approx. 25 layers and it was around 2-3 hours later that I decided it was complete.
