Description Somehow you can tell I'm not particularly good at drawing equines, can't you... But I'm fairly pleased that at least he RESEMBLES a horse... well anyway on some monitors this picture may look very dark and so you won't be able to tell any of these Took about an hour... started as a doodle.

Oh the artist block...

And you pulled off the six legs without it looking like the most ridiculous thing ever! Now THAT is difficult to do. Very nice.

the characteristics that can be seen in the face, neck and shoulders are very good. I like the shadow that surrounds it. And in a way it almost looks like it is moving in slow motion because of the more transperent legs I see. It probably wasn't what you intended but I think the effect is pretty neat anyways. It adds a hint of mystery to this dark horsey

I never thought of it as slow-motion, but maybe yes. *imagines slow-mo horse scene* Thanks

добре мооооооооооооже и да съм го видяла в heroes 4, а така изглежда в петицата [link]

като ги погледна сега не си приличат чак толкова, но пък the concept за evil horse е тооолкова яка, че и твоята май повече ме кефи. дори да не си го мислила да е такъв няма се сърдиш за тъпите сравнения, ок?

ее той само е черен... расизъм спрямо черните (коне ), а oh wait, очите му са червени... (защо обичам да ги правя в ярки цветове?! )

HE IS DESCENDED FROM GIANTS. HIS FATHER LOKI,
GOD OF FIRE, IS THE SWORN BLOOD BROTHER TO
ODIN HIMSELF. HE RIDES ACROSS LAND, SEA AND AIR
FROM THE LAND OF THE LIVING, TO THE LAND OF
THE DEAD. THIS EIGHT LEGGED STEED CROSSES EIGHT
POINTS OF THE COMPASS, FROM EIGHT DIRECTIONS
INTO EIGHT DIMENSIONS. HE IS BRINGER OF THE
VALIANT DEAD FROM THE BATTLEFIELD TO VALHALLA!

You must hear the song (Sleipnir by Manowar)! It kicks so goddamn ass!

The pic is quite nice, btw.

I WAS listening to it at the time But I started drawing him and after that I decided to start listening to the song. Cause I love Norse mythology and I began listening to Manowar after I heard by chance their Gods of War album.

NogarKhaz In reply to MeMyMine [2008-03-24 11:36:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. By the way, Manowar's song are pretty strict to the original mythology. I was surprised how close they are, actually.

That's utterly gorgeous! Your equine-drawing skills far surpass mine, and most other people's too. Love the composition and the sense of movement. Brilliant!

I only knew what was in my Viking Myth encyclopedia back then... (I loved the illustrations there and by the way I'm using it as a pad for putting my sheets of paper on it's a weird kind of love )
