Spectral warrior from Dragonquests.
It's the carcass of a great warrior whose spirit is strong enought to keep fighting, strapped to a sabre-tooth for mobility.

your first comment and i'm gonna nag you about grammar. well just so you know, it's an amazing picture i could never come anywhere close to achieving.

i believe it would be "It's the carcass of a great warrior whos spirit is strong enough to keep fighting" because it is really two sentences in one: "it is the carcass of a great warrior." and "the warrior's spirit is strong enough to keep fighting". therefore, "the warrior" in sentence two is still nominative.

Interesting concept. I love the textures in this picture. The moon and clouds look especially neat. The sabertooth beast looks very nice as well. Coongrats on the Mod's Choice.

The rough edge on the lines and composition is superb.

Oh wow. The concept is totally unique, and I love the 'dead' tones of the picture. Very mood-creating. Kudos!

Reminds of me of faction paradox, and how their shadows are armed. It's a wonderful image. You've succeeding in capturing a wonderful image.

I absolutely love this picture! I can't put my finger on what it is that captivates me so much, but the whole piece is wonderful. The lighting is so atmospheric - I love the moon shining through the clouds. It's weird, but for something so dead (in the corporal sense), it is so alive! 19)

To me it is indeed a Norse warrior that rides on this ancient and beautiful cat. I think he must have had helped by someone understanding the power of his spirit when they placed him on that cat. :]

Johan,

I'll have to put this in the trophy room. I've told you before, this is stunning work. You took the concept and made it your own in a truly excellent way. I am really glad you were awarded the Mods choice on this one. Congrats and keep upi the great work!

It reminded me a little of the Warg Riders from LotR. Except that it's a saber-toothed tiger of course!
