This is one of the four drawings for a Contest I am participating. With The Four Horsemen as the subject. It sounded too cool to let pass. This contest is held on www.Eatpoo.com, a wonderful Forum.
This one is enormous. He can overwhelm an whole army by itself... He got lots of samurai influences, [maybe he was a samurai before he was forced to work for the evil?], like the flags on his back, the pants and the katana's. With these big hands it would look stupid if he only had one or two swords, so he just holds 20 swords in one hand.

wow, i am just going to write about all of your horsemen right here. first of all, how did you decide to draw men, or what ever you want to call them (don't take offense, i am not meaning it that way ), instead of men on horses? in Revelation ( a great book in the Bible ) they tell about how they rode in on horses...great artwork tho, very fascinating. check out the Bible too-all of your answers are there...literally! 2 keep up the good work!

:-) Rowan Lee Hartsuiker replies: "I don't know why I decided to draw these 'men'. I just saw these names of the Four Horsemen, and drew something that came up in my mind.

Thanks for your comment!"

Wow *gawk* This is so amazing! I've really never seen anything like it. The character is so creative - everything about him is original; structure, costume, pose. Very intimidating.

What do the characters on his signs say? Depending on the language, that top character looks really close to either "friendship" or "death," lol, but I'm supposing it will be the darker of the two. (>^.^<)~

:-) Rowan Lee Hartsuiker replies: "Thanks!

The characters actually say 'Friendship'. Haha."

YOU REALLY ARE AN ARTIST!!!did anyone told you this before?SURE...and i bet many people!gorgeous!i love your gallery!!!cool

1 Rowan Lee Hartsuiker replies: "Well thanks. Yeah, quite a few people told me I'm an artist. Including myself - Well, I AM an artist, right?

And to bring up an interesting quote of Pablo Picasso: "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."

For me, that says about..everything 2."

I feel restarded for not noticing the huge gash in his arm, silly me, now that I noticed that, I'm looknig for more small details that help make this picture very wonderful.

Very cool. I like the artillery and the fact that he has really big hands! What kind of paper was this? Vellum? I like the texture and color of it!
