Artist's Comments

A digital revamp of my original entry for :iconequidaemon:'s Good vs. Evil contest.

3rd place! :w00t:

Done in Adobe Photoshop CS, roughly five hours.

:wow: I love it! The pose and the way you've drawn the mane is especially delightful. The deadly curved horn is spectacular...the overall juxtaposition of the piece is lovely as well...great work!

Happy Halloween too! :pumpkin:
:iconxaliandrea:
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed working on this piece, so I'm delighted you like it! (By the way, don't be alarmed if you saw the random background change there-- I realized green looked awful...)

Happy Halloween! Hope you had a good one?

I forgot to mention that I also like how you've balanced the red and black background with the pose of the subject too...very cool!
:iconalastorabatos:
You're so very welcome! :D Oh yeah, the hours you put into it is very evident, just excellent work! I left another comment about the background which I forget to mention earlier, lol. That's okay, I love the red!

Thank you! It's pretty peaceful out where I am; only 5 trick or treaters this year, lol. At my old place, there would be about 100 kids plus a big street party with all my friends; those were the fun days alright. I love Halloween night! But I had a quiet night this year though... I just came back from a nice walk around my neighbourhood and talked to some of the neighbours who insisted on giving me candy too, lol! (Okay, boring I know, but it was a beautiful night...) It's just that "dead" out here in the country...lol. I did a large spooky horse drawing for my door as a decoration though anyway which I may post later...

Hope you had a fun night too!

Beautiful work. I love how the light shines through the mane. It looks wonderfully realistic.
>> Forgive any typos: I've been working on that damn colored pencil dragon for five hours now and I'm severely sleep deprived. >>
Suffice it to say: that's one fantastic piece of art. Best of luck in the competition!

All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
Hey, I can bleed as well as anyone but I need someone to help me sleep

:boogie: It's freaking GORGEOUS! I love the rings of reflecting light; they seem to have given this piece a lot of movement and intensity... :wow:

I also love how the darkness seems to be silently taking over, while the light is fighting to survive. :omg: It's brilliant!

And the shading looks perfect. Totally epic. :clap: Amazing, as usual!!!
