Description EDIT: SCRAPPED; CLEANING UP GALLERY

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...

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

Thank you so much for such a thorough comment + the critique too! Kinda makes me feel like giving it a repaint one of these days just to see what I could do with it. Anywhoo, appreciate the insight

i actually like this piece the most out of your entire gallery. but maybe that's because i prefer this type of painting the blurred transitions etc

AMAZINGLY well done
