Artist's Comments

This started out as a plain black ink drawing before I decided to take pity on my poor pens. Thus I scanned in the rough image and souped it up in Paint Shop Pro.

Wasn't sure whether to submit this as Horror or Fantasy, but I'm sure someone will yell at me if I've put it in the wrong place. ;)

That is SO awesome looking! I love the way the tar is clinging to the horse's right leg!

Wow! [link]

That's so dynamic! And what a cool idea, using tar to make it more substantial and take the place of the mane and tongue! It's really original. And the gray background makes the bones stand out like crazy!

Aw, thanks! :D

Not sure where the concept came from, myself. Just one of those random inspirations, perhaps. But I'm glad you liked it.

Oh, man, the horse's bones are just awesome. I love that you made them yellowed instead of blue-white. It gives him a sense of age...and not in an 'I'd-want-to-meet-him-in-a-dark-alley' kind of way. ;) Cool angle, too. I'd hate to do his dental work.

May the Re-Fredding be with you.

Thank ye. :) Although I really should try and draw some nice, pretty horses one of these days, instead of always doing scary horrific ones...

Amazing work :)

THAT.
KICKS.
TAIL.

May I please borrow it for a website I'm building for a grade in class? I'm collecting pics of horse skeletons to recreate a pic that I had once painted (nightmares.)

Glad you like it. Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner, but yesterday DevArt apparently decided to make all comments on my artworks disappear. :confused:

Anyway, I don't mind if you use the image for your class project, as long as you give me credit for it and send me the link to your page once it's done. :)
