I always thought of Ponyta as sorta a regular horse rather than a pony. I wanted to try a night scene, but with all the fire the light source got too confusing.
I feel like I over did the gaussian blur on this one, it feels both beautiful and disgusting at the same time, at least to me. I'm working on a gaussian blur tutorial, though really any effort to do something other than this challenge and homework at the moment seems laughable.
