Title: Sun Horse (Anatolê, or Hêlios)

I turn and face the light

How it was done: After cutting out hte horse using the freeselect tool, I went aroudn the edges and fixed it up. THe tail was really hard, I drew a bit, then smudged, then drew, then smudged then dodged then burned, repeat.... THe mane was surprisingly easy, I just smudged it out. ;) I smudged all over the horse, and then fixed the shadows.
The shadows were fixed by a combination of low-opacity "overlay" layers using black and coloring over where it needed shading, and with liberal use of the dodge/burn tool. The first was MUCH more helpful! The lighting on the horse was really off, so it took a lot of effort.

What I used: I used a Genius Mousepen Tablet, 8x6, and GIMP 2.6.6

How long it took: About 4 hours

See the Octarine:Trying to do more realistic stuff. My shading on this however is pretty dramatic! I don't know if you can tell with the black-screen over it....
