Description

"I wish for neither riches nor fame, neither power nor influence," rejoined the witcher girl. "I wish for a horse, as black and swift as a nightly gale. I wish for a sword as bright and keen as a moonbeam. I wish to overstride the world on my black horse through the black night. I wish to smite the forces of Evil and Darkness with my luminous blade. This I would have."

"I shall give you a horse, blacker than the night and fleeter than a nightly gale,' vowed the fortune-teller. "I shall give you a sword, brighter and keener than a moonbeam. But you demand much, witcher girl, thus you must pay me dearly."

'With what? For I have nothing.'

With your blood."

Andrzej Sapkowski, "The Tower of Swallows"



My entry for Gwent Art Contest  
Of course an Illustration of Kelpie was the right choose for me. I'm a huge fan of the Witcher saga, both the book and the games, and this was just a very good opportunity to honour the serie and do a fanart. This took me around 15 hours to complete and is by far the longest that I've worked on a single illustration. I'm sorry for the watermark, but I wouldn't like to have an artwork that I've worked so hard to be stolen and posted on russian pages where I have no idea how to report them. I will release a smaller non-watermark version once the contest is over.
Oh, and this is probably the first and last time that you will see a horse painted by me that is being ridden.

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


When viewing the piece for the first time, right off the bat I was drawn into the composition by the beautiful and dynamic pose. Viewers can feel the movement in the piece, the urgency that accompanies what I assume is escape. Even though I do not know much about the characters, the gorgeous atmosphere and emotions are marvelous.
Your use of tones to convey a stark and yet vivid darkness really make the piece. That particular angle of a horse takes a true master to tackle, as it is difficult to convey the strength of a horse while still keeping it elegant.
All in all, I was awestruck by the scope of this piece. Truly masterful, and I look forward to seeing what you create in the future. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

No conozco el juego como sabes... pero que increibke ilustración. Fue hermoso ver como ibas mostrando wips y esas cosas uno se siente más cercano a la ilustración cuando ve el resultado final.

Me gusta tanto la fuerza que desprende, el vigor de esa yegua con esa mujer que mira hacia atrás empuñando su espada... en caso de que las cosas se compliquen. Hermoso el fondo que acompaña tan bien a lo que está sucediendo y por supuesto por lo que están huyendo. Los colores lúgubres le dan más potencia a este pedazo de arte!!!!

Excelente trabajo Geor!!! Sé que me quedo corta... que debe haber infinidad de detalles que olvido. Pero estas fueron las cosas que más me impactaron al verlo

Muchas gracias zobita! Deje la vida acá, pero aprendi mucho jaja esta escena esta basada en una parte de la novela (en la cual se basaron los juegos) que es muy tenebrosa y oscura...me alegra haber podido transmitir eso

Holy, epically wondrous! The Wondrous Nightly Gale Horse is stunning and Kelpie looks incredible. The designs, expressions, poses, fortune teller, evil horse, moonbeam sword, riding outfit, eyes, hair, manes, tails, stance, hooves, nose, reigns, saddle, boots, scepter, spiked crown, magic, sky, clouds, moonlight, mountains, ledges, cliffs, crevices, battle, mist, pathway, terrain, grass, plant life, interaction, movement, effects, flow, perspective, realisticness, atmosphere, hues, textures, concept, composition, uniqueness, lighting, colors, style, and other details are also sensational. Amazingly Radical work!

Wow! Your so amazing. I've never played Witcher, but this is spectacular! Good luck with the contest. ^_^
I was kinda wondering about the riding since I knew you were against it, but for a contest like this is makes sense.

Dalgeor In reply to PookaWitch [2018-04-09 15:48:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Well, I think it is my favourite game ever And if you're into fantasy reading I will also recommend the novels in which the games are based on.
Yes, I must admit I felt pretty bad when I was painting that metal bit on the mouth of such an awesome mare haha but I couldn't find any composition where it looked good and she wasn't riding the mare so I had no other choice
