March Theme:

This months theme is: Under the Sea!

A horse beneath the waves—majestic, untamed, and transformed by the ocean’s magic. Is it a seahorse-like steed, a ghostly silhouette galloping through sunken ruins, or a kelpie luring travelers into the depths? Perhaps it glides effortlessly alongside dolphins or races through bioluminescent waters under the moonlight. Whether mythical or mysterious, let your equine vision take the plunge—I can’t wait to see what you create!

But Freia, what happens to the manips, do you keep them?
NO! The photo manipulation is yours to keep, sell or throw away as you wish. I do NOT keep the rights of any manipulations you create - this is simply for fun!
