TRUE BLUE HORSE [link]

ORIGINAL SIZE OF WORK : 16" X 20"

its hard to say where this belongs. However it is an abstracted horse. it was originally based of the designs on viking doors, where animals were long abstracted forms entwined with background details. instead here in blue horse i used the basic curves of the animal then gave sharp lines inside the body to move away from the smoothness line in viking art to almost a cubist style of harsh pointed lines. the background has one of my own stylistic traits depicted as the swirling trees or vines behind the creature on the foreground. other than that i tried to give a receding or realistic sense to the remaining parts of the image.

NOTICE! DO TO THE POOR QUALITY OF THE IMAGE I SHALL BE SUBMITTING A DUPLICATE OF BLUE HORSE IN DUE TIME. HOPEFULLY ONE THAT IS NOT PIXILATED OR WITH FILM GRAINS. THE IMAGE ITSELF MAY CHANGE IN THE PROCESS, AS IN TONES AND COLOR. THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS AND FAVORITES AND I TRUST THIS ALTERATION WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE AND ENHANCE THE VISUAL QUALITY TO AN ACCEPTABLE STATUS.

RECENTLY WHEN BROWSING THE INTERNET I NOTICED THIS WORK FEATURED ON ANOTHER SITE . I WAS NOT TOLD OF THIS AND EVEN THOUGH CREDIT IS GIVEN , I WOULD LIKE TO BE TOLD IF IT IS TO BE FEATURED OUTSIDE OF DEVIANT ART.
