Description
The inspiration for this was threefold: Wagner's Ride of the Valkyrie*, Tolkien's Nazgûl (Dark Riders) from LOTR and, to a large extend, Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer (obviously).
(Note: To those who miss them, I have not given up on semi-nude and nude pin-up babes, there will be more coming, I promise. If it's any consolation, the rider is female and she's naked as a jaybird underneath her cape... )
Comments and criticisms are always welcome. Thank you for viewing. ( ...click for big.)

* Yes, the music - If you can get past Wagner's extreme political and social views (vehemently anti-Semitic for example) he did compose some stirring, powerful and glorious music...

Wonderful classic "naked as a jaybird underneath" rendering! Great scene, terrific looking horse.

Ahhh... a pretty well blue frozen Valkyrie. Now, to add some music so she can get some movement and warm up (and so we get to see the fantastic "naked as a jaybird underneath")! A pity posts can't include sounds. Very well done image. Yes, the sources of inspiration are noticeable, but this is still so very Guslaw in manner of presentation. Good job draping the cape - must have been a lot of work! Nice out-of-focus background. Keep up the good work! :-) As for Wagner, I grew up with his dramatic music, but was shocked when I learned he was anti-semitic. So sad, but that was the accepted norm back then. Sigh.
