Artist's Comments

Sorry, no serious submission this time ^^; Just some doodle that turned into something a bit more complicated as I kept on adding things to it. Like the swirly red clouds. I've always loved swirly clouds...

Anyway, it's another shot at my horse character Fearl, from [link] if anyone remembers. I'm not sure I like this better than the first one though. He looks less demonic and he also looks a little stiff according to my Mom (who is always right about these sort of things). I tried fixing it, but I didn't want to ruin what I already had.

At least it no longer looks like a dog... :P

Fearl is no ordinary horse as you may have noticed. Once he was human. After he had been brutally murdered by his own brother's hands his spirit turned vengeful. In order to contain him, his angry soul was then attached to the body of a dying horse. Imprisoned in this equine form he is unable to find rest and wanders the earth amongst both the living and the dead. Forced to follow the very person who has chained him to this fate, Fearl hopes he will one day find the mercy in his heart to release him from his sufferings.

Don't ask me. My thoughts are not usually that dark ^^;

Have you ever played Final Fantasy XII? The monster "Nightmare" is a horse-like animal there too!

Perfect work as usual. I like swirling smokes in the background. Color choices are just right ones.
First I thought he's nasty demon horse but after reading your comment, I feel sorry for him. *sniff*
All in all, great work! Horses bodies are pain in the ass...

VERY lovely.
I love the sort of water color-ish velvety strokes.


A few critiques would be that the lower jaw area sort of looks like it's in a different angle than the top, something you could do is just paint in a few more teeth in the right side of the bottom jaw.

Also, the head is a little big for the body and neck.
Horses have very large bodies and a large head sort of throws him off balance.

LOVE the muscles though, especially the wonderful detail on the face <3
