Celtic pony, that's a cool idea. A pagan warrior ready to defend his land with his spear and brute force. The marks on his coat a proof of his determination and bravery.Β
This forest is so real, so detailed, many levels of trees add to its depth. And that fern, a nice touch.
Your way of shading with charcoals is amazing, looks like its nothing but natural for you.

Oh thank you, I had a fair while when I was drawing a lot of celtic themes. Just got dragged into it by movies, games and music. It's such an interesting and wide culture. Many believed that spiritual war paint protects warrior from harm.
I didn't use as much charcoal in this one though. It was done rather with B8 and mechanical pencil. I used charcoal in shaft just for darkest parts.

I had my time being interested in Celtic culture and music, but it has been replaced by the Nordic ones.
I didn't know that that was the purpose of those marks, so thanks, I learned another thing.
I think that the music that fits this picture best isΒ www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIVTnQβ¦
And those darkest parts are great, it shows how light is being scattered and replaced by the darkness with every step further from the clearing.
And as I am listening to that music right now, it really fits the way the warrior spots, investigates and attacks the invaders.

You really should draw another scene of this event, with Luxtos playing along.

Ambush theme sounds fairly good actually... I try to work more with both, digital and traditional lately so it might be an interesting project.

Yeah, you should check out other tracks by this band.
Anyhow, the longer I look at your drawing the longer I wonder why haven't I put it in my favourites yet. So here it goes.
As the Jeizag plays, the warrior scouts the enemy forces, thinks of the best tactic to ambush them and attacks. And that's the moment when this starts to play:

It fits even better if you consider that what happens next is packed with quick kills and astonishing speed of the warrior that defends his homeland.
