Description
The Royal Service was known for bringing messages faster than any other heralds in the realm, travelling lightly on their swift steeds. But even they couldn’t always outrun a mischievous thief that knew they could make good money on confidential information.
This is one of those paintings that started out without any ideas. I just wanted to draw a horse, really, and suddenly this happened. Lots of fun working on it, I must say!
Photoshop, December 2015.

I love how the little thief looks afraid. It makes me sympathize with him.

Poor thief I don't think he realizes he's wearing bells on his hat/hood

It is indeed a silly thing to wear bells when you're trying to escape someone

I must have played the original Spyro trilogy too many times, because the thief initially made me think of the egg thieves from the first and third games. It must be the outfit.

A nice picture, i like the thief too. His pose and expression (what is visible of it) are funny and well captured.
I do have one question though: Is that actually a llittle bell on his hat? (???)

Thank you very much! It is indeed a little bell - I though it would make for a funny little element as he's trying to run off, bells ringing slightly

Awesome! I'm not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel fairly safe saying that I like both the action and color in this piece.
