Description
She rides forth in the eerie twilight of the Badlands, her black steed in a thundering gallop, the wind howling, the shrill sound of her battle cry echoing across the wastelands. Black wolves race along beside, ravenous for the hunt and adding their howling to the fearsome cacophony. It is a sight and a sound to strike fear in the hearts of men...blackhearted men. For she is the Dark Valkyrie, and unlike the other daughters of Wotan who ride forth from Valhalla to gather back there the souls of fallen heroes, her quest are the souls of dying warriors who are indeed no heroes...she seeks the murders, backstabbers, and perfidious cowards who blacken the name of true warriors. They will witness her mortifying gaze and know retribution for their nefarious deeds...

Oh, my friend, this is beyond good, this is so inspired and wonderful! I love your darker renders, and your light ones too, but this one is dark in a very painterly fashion that speaks of dramatic warriors parading across battlefields. Such great ART!

Excellent character and atmosphere. It has a classic fantasy illustration look to it.

Marco, this is magnificent. It's like the horse and rider are just outriding those dark swirling skies. The motion you achieved is incredible.

She's way too overdressed to be any good in battle, but it is a damn good picture. I always marvel at the sense of depth you create.
