:bulletblack::bulletorange::bulletblack: About this deviation :bulletblack::bulletorange::bulletblack:



I was very inspired for this one :D I wanted the cold to warm colour gradient, hence the reddish candles on one side and the blue magicy stuff on the other side :D The runes I added for fun :D I wanted this to reflect the old/tribal magic. I like how it turned out. My best to date I think. The mane and tail... ah I love 'em :D

I love the idea of this work, on first impression's alone though I thought the composition to dark. The candle draw's your attention in to the middle of the page after which your eyes begin to assess the horse, it's posture and the projected route that you believe it will take. It looks set on a destination somewhere behind the viewer or towards the back of the cave, which is great for the depth of the image and gives you a sense of movement beyond our given perspective. Having said that it leaves a huge 40/45 percent of the picture empty or bare, this can either be seen to add to the setting and the tranquility of the image or it can be viewed that it makes it look uneven and incomplete. I like that you've highlighted the candles glare around the top of the horse's legs and believe that you may have been able to extend this to the roof and contours of the inside of the cave. The sparkles that you've added as an extra to the tail of the horse are a great idea and they contrast nicely with the rising blue embers, which seem to fade into a shadowy or ghostly figure with the word tribal written upon it. I like the use of the futhark symbols and over all it's a beautiful image. Warm and deep with a slight dark twist.. If this was mine, I'd sit and have a beer and enjoy my newest masterpiece.

Hope you feel this is a fair critique, I'm not an expert or a brilliant artist's and this is the first one I've written. Congrats on the final piece and hope to see more soon from Tao.
