Artist's Comments

From Peter Shaffer's Equus-

"The normal is the good smile in a child's eyes. There's also the dead stare in a million adults. It both sustains and kills, like a god. It is the ordinary made beautiful, it is also the average made lethal. Normal is the indispensable murderous god of health and I am his priest."


Unfinished. (Photoshop CS3)
Reference: resident horse skull.

Sweet, love the incredibly sickly colours overall, but on the front horse's skullface they really make the image seem very unsettling (I mean, coupled with the overall theme, of course).

Excellent conveying of motion and foreshortening, too.

I remember you talking about cheap animal skulls/bones before. Would you care to point me in that direction? There's a store around here that sells, but they're kind of pricey...

And looking into those eyes feels like I'm about to be put into a Mr. Hands situation.

Thanks, you've made my already crippling phobia of horses even worse.
But this is certainly enjoyable to look at regardless. I like the skull morphing into the ear...
:iconlemming-exodus:
Ponies! :'DDD How eerie that they have human eyes. You make me want to paint epic zombie horses.
