Description TRUE BLUE HORSE [link]

Advanced Critiques Plz
ORIGINAL SIZE OF WORK : 16" X 20"

its hard to say where this belongs. However it is an abstracted horse. it was originally based of the designs on viking doors, where animals were long abstracted forms entwined with background details. instead here in blue horse i used the basic curves of the animal then gave sharp lines inside the body to move away from the smoothness line in viking art to almost a cubist style of harsh pointed lines. the background has one of my own stylistic traits depicted as the swirling trees or vines behind the creature on the foreground. other than that i tried to give a receding or realistic sense to the remaining parts of the image.

colored pencils
Black cresent board.
time.. estimate of 16 hours over 4 month span

NOTICE! DO TO THE POOR QUALITY OF THE IMAGE I SHALL BE SUBMITTING A DUPLICATE OF BLUE HORSE IN DUE TIME. HOPEFULLY ONE THAT IS NOT PIXILATED OR WITH FILM GRAINS. THE IMAGE ITSELF MAY CHANGE IN THE PROCESS, AS IN TONES AND COLOR. THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS AND FAVORITES AND I TRUST THIS ALTERATION WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE AND ENHANCE THE VISUAL QUALITY TO AN ACCEPTABLE STATUS.

RECENTLY WHEN BROWSING THE INTERNET I NOTICED THIS WORK FEATURED ON ANOTHER SITE . I WAS NOT TOLD OF THIS AND EVEN THOUGH CREDIT IS GIVEN , I WOULD LIKE TO BE TOLD IF IT IS TO BE FEATURED OUTSIDE OF DEVIANT ART.

Stunning! The colors in this piece are vivifying, i do like it better than true blue horse for this reason. But regardless, great job!

really now? that makes me feel a bit confident in my work. please feel free to look at true blue horse, its closer to the original. once i get passed the stubbornness of the board it's on, i'll submit the Real image of blue horse for prints.

Whoa. o: I like the concept of a blue viking horse, and I love the way that concept came out on paper. Er, cresent board. Still! It's incredibly cool, partially because of the smooth flowy forms and partially because of your color choice.

The style of the trees in the back really hit me on a personal level. Nice to see I'm not the only one who's intrigued by that swirling pattern.

This is really pretty- I like the general shaping and composition of the piece.

The only thing I think could be changed is the shape of the horse- it looks much more canine than equine. It brought to mind greyhounds and other sleek dogs that have a similar body shape. I wouldn't have guessed it was a horse if I hadn't seen the title.

Besides that, I love the design. I like the color usage.
