Hi,
I always wanted to do something about this subject, without necessarily following the exact mythology. I tried a very dynamic composition
I use Zbrush & Poser to create a baseline for horses and skeleton.

Thanks for appreciations.
Yayashin

THE FOUR HORSEMEN by *Yayashin. The composition is so dramatic; you can feel the force and power behind the horsemen! ( Suggested by ~kaaaay and Featured by `alicexz )

I'm at a loss for words on how epicly awesome this piece is. Normally, I wouldn't pictured something more Viking-rooted, but this is so much better!
I love how the doom is clearly evident, but also the white and silver. Kinda makes one think their job is just that: a job. They do what they must, and do it with a gusto. I also like how the horses are the ones with the red eyes, and not the riders.
The way you had them fade in is stunning. Almost ghostly. This is absolutely incredible. Keep up the awesome work, you!

This is a striking piece of art, well-rooted in traditional art going back at least to the Medieval era. Yet there is something modern also. The whitish glow, the raggedness of the outlines, the metallic, spiky teeth, the burning eyes, all place this piece squarely in early 21st-century art.
The limited palette with the stark white, the blue/purple, and the red/orange cause the horses to emerge from the background with explosive energy. So much here is spiky, -- the trees, the rain, the manes, the teeth, the hair, the bones. The rounded parts seem limited to the joinys of the horses and riders, and the hooves.
This piece excites the terror and dread of what the riders symbolize: War, Famine, Disease, and Death, and does it with deep emotion, insight, and talent. This is only the second critique where I gave 20 stars , but it deserves it so much.
