Excellent work as usual!
Viewing this I can’t help but think you could do an awesome version of a headless horseman, sleep hollow style.

And then the other day, I had that phantom on ma back ...neighing!
He was kind of light weighted, if there wasn´t that armour clattering all the time, ...snorting!
I could recognize, there was some crown hoovering, bumping up and down with every step ...neighing!
We got lost in this dark wood after a while ...neighing!
There was this little flapping thing, telling me the way to the castle ...snorting!
Hopefully the princess has some black milk in reserve ...neighing!
Snorting, I am an attahorse, snorting... an attahorse, let´s go ...neighing, neighing

I love how you took some elements from the books and painted your own interpretation of the Nazgul instead of just going for the look they had in the movies. I'm not saying I don't love the way they look in the movies because I do, a lot, but it's nice to see other ideas as well. Either way, nice work and good luck with the contest.

This is such an often portrayed character (especially nowadays), it was hard to paint it without any influences. So, I tried to combine those various influences into my own version. Thanks for the luck.

Thanks, it could be. I didn't have a particular one in mind, they were all kings, right?

Indeed. They took magic rings from Sauron

I like the eyes, and the fact that I had to enlarge it to see he actually has no head at all, just the glowing eyes levitating in space.
I think you did a great job with the armour too, and I also like how the horse is mesmerised by the moth.
I like your art that really makes me look to see all details!

Thanks, I think this would look good on something bigger than my laptop screen. I liked the horse looking away, figured I should give him a distraction. There's a good bit of detail in this, check out the bugs in the roots!

The twisted horse is one of my favorites. I'm curious to know what the moth and horse are discussing about.

Probably complaining about the weather.

from the 197..whatsoever.... wooow looks trully ominous and wicked!

Thanks, that's definitely the look I was going for. 197?

Nice subtle differences between sharpness of the subject ,fuzziness vapor of atmosphere ,"deepness...effective
You gave a nice "hierarchy" to elements
And a cute psychopomp taking to the horse,
only a little thing : the horse legs would be better using your "drawing way" , a little thinner,in my opinion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aha, psychopomp! Thanks for reminding me of that word.
I'm always trying to refine ways of creating atmosphere.
I think you're right about the legs. I tend to draw horses for pulling wagons of beer ;]
