Beauty and freedom 💗 Amonet (EN-ES)

Everyone who knows me knows that I love horses; in fact, if I could, I’d have one. They are such noble animals and have always been present throughout human history; they even sense human emotions. The horse represents me; it is one of my two power animals, or spirit animals, that are most prominent within me, alongside the panther. Lately, I’ve been watching lots of videos of horses, especially my favourites: the Friesians. I think that’s what inspired this design, although I’m never short of inspiration when it comes to creating designs featuring them.

I remember when I was studying video editing; I made a video using several free clips I’d found, and I absolutely loved doing it. To me, they represent elegance, strength, magic and mystery, but above all, freedom, and it’s this last word that’s always very much at the forefront of my mind. Whenever I think of horses, ‘freedom’ is the word that springs to mind, as does epic music; I’ll always associate the two. I was delighted with the final result I achieved.

Todos los que me conocen saben que amo a los caballos, de hecho, si pudiera tendría uno, que son animales tan nobles y están y estuvieron presentes siempre en la historia de la humanidad, incluso sienten las emociones del ser humano. El caballo me representa, es uno de mis dos animales de poder o espíritus animales predominantes en mí junto a la pantera y últimamente he estado mirando muchos videos de caballos, sobre todos mis favoritos, los frisones. Creo que ello ha motivado este diseño, aunque nunca me faltan las ganas para hacer un diseño que los contenga.

Recuerdo cuando estudiaba edición de video que hice un video con varios que había encontrado gratuitos y me encantó hacerlo. Para mi representan la elegancia, la fuerza, la magia, el misterio, pero sobre todo la libertad y esta última palabra es la que tengo en la mente de forma muy pronunciada siempre. Cada vez que pienso en caballos, libertad es la palabra que viene a mi cabeza, como así la música épica, siempre los relacionaré. Me encantó el resultado final que logré.

Design process

The design was created entirely in Photoshop CS6 without the use of AI, using 10 royalty-free images spread across 12 layers.

To create the background, I used four images: one of watercolours in shades of pink; one of a background with stronger colours, particularly orange, on which I applied the ‘Overlay’ blending mode; then an image of clouds, of which I used only a section; and an image of the sea, from which I removed the sky and replaced it with the clouds mentioned earlier. For both of these images, I used the same blending mode as mentioned above.

I then worked on the three images of horses, which feature several horses; I selected them freehand, softened the edges so they weren’t so sharp, and then placed them in the design in different positions and scales, using the ‘Spot Light’ blending mode.

For the image of the horse on a black background with the horse in pink, I processed it using the ‘Difference’ blending mode and adjusting the colour via ‘Image > Adjustments > Hue and Saturation’, plus an ‘Added Edges’ filter. I applied the same filter to the previous horse images.

I worked on the image of the woman’s face across two layers: one showing just the eye in Normal mode, and the other using the Spot Light blending mode. I also used the Add Edge filter. Finally, I worked on the image of the colourful horse by adjusting its colours via Image > Adjustments > Hue and Saturation. I worked on it across two layers, using the Darker and Normal blending modes, but with the Diffuse Glow filter applied.

I send you all a big hello and see you next time. Thanks for watching and reading this far.

Proceso del diseño

El diseño está realizado completamente en el programa Photoshop CS6 sin uso de IA con 10 imágenes sin derechos de autor distribuidas en 12 capas.

Para generar el fondo usé cuatro imágenes, una de unas acuarelas con colores rosados, una de un fondo con colores más fuertes sobre todo anaranjado en la cual usé la fusión de superponer y luego una imagen de nubes, donde sólo usé una parte y una de mar donde le borré la parte del cielo y allí usé las nubes anteriores. En ambas imágenes usé la misma fusión nombrada anteriormente.

Luego trabajé las tres imágenes de caballos en donde hay varios de ellos, las seleccioné a mano alzada, borré los bordes para que no sean tan marcados y luego las coloqué en el diseño en distintas posiciones y escalas y con la fusión de luz focal.

La imagen del caballo de fondo negro y con el caballo en rosa, la trabajé poniendo la fusión de diferencia y cambiando el color en imagen-ajustes-tono y saturación, más un filtro de bordes añadidos. El mismo filtro lo puse en las imágenes de los caballos anteriores.

La imagen del rostro de la mujer la trabajé en dos capas, donde una de ellas es sólo el ojo en modo normal y la otra tiene fusión de luz focal. Usé también el filtro de bordes añadidos. Finalmente trabajé la imagen del caballo de colores cambiando estos en imagen, ajustes, tono y saturación. La trabajé en dos capas, con fusiones de color más oscuro y normal, pero con filtro de resplandor difuso.

Les envío un gran saludo a todos y hasta la próxima. Gracias por ver y leer hasta aquí.

    Horses have raw power and beauty. They are also noble, and you capture this very well in this piece.

  • @enraizar(71)· 6d

    Buenis días @avdesing, como es habitual, un muy buen diseño. Se percibe muy bien la libertad de la que hablas.

    Feliz fin de semana!!

  • Hello Amonmet, how are you?

    I really like horses too; several of them often pass by the reserve we visit.

    I admire how creative you are; the design is beautiful.

    Have a great day.

    Buenos días... se respira mucha libertad aquí y una mirada fascinante también. 😊

    Me encanta ver a los caballos correr en ambientes naturales. Tuve la oportunidad de convivir con ellos y me gustaba mucho bañarlos y peinarlos. Tengo muy bonitos recuerdos de esa época.

    What a lovely tribute to horses, @avdesing! I like that you describe them as elegance, strength, magic and above all freedom, and that you feel close to the horse and the panther as your spirit animals. It is also great to see a piece made entirely in Photoshop CS6, without AI, with ten royalty-free images on twelve layers, and with all the sources credited. Cutting out the horses freehand and softening their edges so they sit well in the sky and sea must take a lot of patience.

    Thank you for sharing the design process too, it is very interesting to see how the blending modes and filters create the dreamy mood. Which step was the most challenging for you: the freehand cut-outs of the horses, or blending the sea with the new clouds?

    Original message

    Che bellissimo omaggio ai cavalli, @avdesing! Mi piace che li descrivi come eleganza, forza, magia e soprattutto libertà, e che ti senti vicina al cavallo e alla pantera come animali guida. È bello anche vedere un lavoro fatto interamente con Photoshop CS6, senza IA, con dieci immagini libere da diritti su dodici livelli e con tutte le fonti citate. Ritagliare i cavalli a mano libera e ammorbidirne i bordi perché stiano bene nel cielo e nel mare deve richiedere molta pazienza.

    Grazie anche per aver condiviso il processo di creazione: è molto interessante vedere come le modalità di fusione e i filtri creano l'atmosfera da sogno. Quale passaggio è stato il più difficile per te: i ritagli a mano libera dei cavalli, oppure fondere il mare con le nuove nuvole?

    Hello, dear friend @avdesing, good morning.

    Horses are so beautiful. They are truly very intelligent, companionable, and loyal animals.

    A beautiful piece of work.

    Have a great day.
