Inspired by the scene of Alexander's final defeat from the Oliver Stone movie. The death of his beautiful warhorse was shockingly well done... Afterwards I began to think about what the famous stallion could be like, running freely in the heavenly fields of Elysium...

Faber-Castel metallic pencils and ink on L'Ebauche paper.

This is amazing, I totally love your style!
The concept is very cool and I like the way you use these flowing shapes in connection with soft colours!

The details are so fluid and crisp. I love all the transitions of colors and line widths. I love this piece.Thank u! I like it myself,the photo isn't the best,though.The bad thing about metallic pencils is that they reflect the camera's flashlight and it's hard to correct them afterwards,if not impossible.

Great stylization. Great work.

I very much love the concept that all brave war horses have a special destination, as is much deserved by all horses who have served man & woman. It was a heart-wrenching scene and your pic expresses a wonderful sense of the spirit of that magnificant animal. Breathtaking.
