Description “Blood on the Sands tells the tale of three different bearers of the Top Cow Universe’s Trinity. I have always been a fan of the high fantasy genre and jumped at the chance to show a new side of the Top Cow Universe against a historical backdrop. The stories center around some of the unique customs and locales of the Arabian desert,” explained writer Philip W. Smith II.

Each of the tales within the larger story takes its origin from Arabic words and locales. “‘Diyafa’ the first story is about a young man seeking the help of that era’s Darkness bearer, named Idris. Diyafa is a word for desert hospitality and is a custom in practice today where wanderers lost in the desert are given food, water and shelter until they are recovered. ‘Assahiyaa’, the story about two sisters torn apart by the Witchblade means; tribal solidarity. ‘Chermera’ is a location in the Sinjar mountains where a modern day tribe called the Yezidi have an ancient temple and is the scene for the Angelus story,” elaborated Smith. “All the stories are tied together by the machinations of the villanious Idris. Unlike the current modern day Darkness bearer, Jackie Estacado, Idris is a ruthless and cunning villain who embraces his dark gift and lives by the words ‘Good people die.’”

Impact


ok lets start with the good. The fire itself and every last human on this piece is absolutely phenomenal. You have the lighting to the point where I can feel the heat and that is good.

However there are several issues I have with this piece, The main one being the horse. The biggest issue here is the horses body. The Torso overall is to short, Horses have very long torsos. As well, the horse is way to round chested. Horses have a narrow chest wall that seems deceptively large when viewed from the side, but when you view them head on, they are narrow. The horses Front legs are to skinny and short to support the body that it's on. And I have no idea where the back end of that horse is. Honestly, it looks like the girl is ridding on the horses butt. The rear legs are awkward looking and WAY to skinny. They also seem much much longer then the front legs. Because of the overall anatomy errors on the horse it really kills the power of the animal you are trying to convey.

Moving onto the background, the camel that is on that hill... the head is to big on the camel and the man riding it seems oversize.

I know you spent allot of time on this, and the beautiful color shows it, but the anatomy errors in the horse honestly make it very hard to look at.

I collect "The Darkness", not so much for the story line, but the for artwork itself. I've always found the way the armor moves like an organism captivating, and I'm trying to emulate and push the concept of it farther in the pieces I'm putting together (slowly, s-l-o-w-l-y...).

I'm impressed with the detail in the armor and the man himself, Idris. Very well done!

awsome work... esp your fire and the detail u put into this... amazing! 1 little thing... the spikes going thru the people, i would have not made the completely covered in blood, rather just some blodd smudged on it and i would have dont the blood darker. but yeah thats my own opinion. keep it up!

As I'm unable to write a critique I'll comment it. Having been around horses for a long time I can honestly say that horse is beautiful and if Pinkuh thinks it makes it unbearable to look at then she hasn't seen many horses as that is what they look like when rearing.Your use of lighting and fire is spectacular and I have to say that the people look fantastic. Brilliant artwork!

nice work but other than the anatomical mistakes of the horse also, the rider lady's foot at the back side is strange, it looks like her rear foot is two times longer the front one, almost like embracing the horse like an octopus' tentacle...
