Aaaah the ride of the four horsemen! (Mine is a version with no riders cause my people SUCK )

Ok, so this has to be the BIGGEST file and project I've done. Ever. Bigger then the one with the bazillions of horses, because this one I put a lot of time and effort into. (Aaaand the bg still sucks. Floating rock horsies FTW! ) But really, I'm quite proud of this, I worked pretty hard on it And boy did I have fun! It started off as vent art, was having a really bad day, so I started with war and listened to angry music Then as I got closer to being done, the music mellowed out, and I feel better now

Really though, I love war, so much LOOK AT HIS TAIL! That, that right there is my favorite part of the ENTIRE picture And he's sortof drooling I wanted to do foamy legs, like an eventer horse, but I couldn't get it to look anywhere near right I did a version with tack on some of them, I'll upload that in a sec.

Famine, was, interesting. I'm not too happy with him, poor fellow. I referenced a bunch of starving horses for him That was no fun. But I felt it would represent what he symbolizes though.

Death, muahahah I loved his pose! It was fun for sure, and playing around with his colors were a bit of a pain It was funny, in the reff picture the horse is actually rolling it's eyes in the back of it's head, and I found it so fitting I kept it in there

And the White Horse, I had a lot of fun with that pose too! Absolute pain in the rear, but I'm quite happy with it Took me FOREVER to find a pose I wanted though, I was being picky. And white I was none too thrilled about THAT. But, I did it anyways, and I'm pleased to be able to say I'm quite happy with him in the end

So the background, you can go ahead and ignore that I tried, that counts for something, I think.... Rocks. I've been working two things that involve rocks. I hate rocks. Like I hate water, and grass. Funny that the most basic things of most backgrounds are some of the hardest for me Oh well, I'm getting there. I got my clouds semi-decent

Anywho, that's the gist of it. I'll upload singles of all the horses in a a sec, and that version with the tack.

Comments welcome and appreciated!

"and I heard as it where, the noise of thunder. One of the four beasts was saying 'Come and see' and I saw, and behold a white horse" <3
This is awesome! Every equine artists should do them... I'm sure I'll never be able too.. or actually I should... Have a couple of characters that would fit as the horsemen of the apocalypse.
Love your version of it! war looks awesome, of course. Their poses are really nice, different, yet floating together

<3 Yes! That would be really cool to see, I was surprised I couldn't find more of them!
You shouuuuuuld! That would be freaking fantastic! You with all your awesomeness.
Thanks! It was a pain in the neck to find poses that I was happy with, but the ones I ended up with, I wouldn't have it anyother way I found them, and that was that. They fit Though, it was hard trying to figure out what order to put them in, i didn't want to cover any of them

Wow, this is awesome! I love the four horses of the apocalypse (well...you know, as much as you can love them ) I've just been watching the season of supernatural with them where they have mustangs (the cars) instead of horses. Anyway, the horses look fantastic! the shading and muscle definition is amazing. And war's tail is gorgeous
