Made to be Broken

Wow, so this was a pain in the butt to make. Photoshop died and lost my work TWICE. So, from here on out, I will be saving my work roughly every 45 seconds.

I felt bad about about making the stock horse all tragic looking because he was adorable in the original picture, but I wanted a challenge. Have to say, I do love the way the snow came out. EDIT: I have made peace with the blood since its inception. I wasn't sure about the lightning at first, but I now rather like the way it turned out.

The Nifty Providers of stock:

Horse: By ~ImNotCrazy-really and found here.
Background: By *KiwiRose-Stock and found here.
Snow brushes: By ~KeepWaiting and found here.

Also used in various ways, like smudging and blood effects (I have strange processes): These lurvely lightning brushes.
And these splendiferous damage brushes.

EDIT: Whee, v3! Now with less snow!
