Description These are the four horsemen of the Apocalypse (false religion, war, famine, and death), as described in the Bible (I've included the description below if you want to read it).

The reference for this came off the cover of the December 2005 issue of the Good News. Did the outline with a Ticonderoga and then shaded it with a black colored pencil (it's not much more than a stub now ). Does anyone think this would look better in color? I do, but I'm afraid I'll ruin it somehow...

Revelation 6:1-2
Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see." And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

Revelation 6:3-4
When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see." Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

Revelation 6:5-6
When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine."

Revelation 6:7-8
When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

It looks great in black and white but color would take it to a whole nother level. It looks great too.

it's Conquest, who is believed to be the Antichrist. His name isn't 'False Religion' but 'Conquest'
In this order: Vinny, Jack, Ace and Ava...

I love the shading done on this and the composition, you must ahave a lot of patience to have been able to finish this

I agree that color would probably make it that much better... if you have photoshop you could color it there without having to worry about messing up the original, that's what I do.

Once again, good job!

It looks awesome in black&white. You could always try photocopying it and coloring the photocopy, just in case.
But I love it the way it is^^
