Description

A great winged horse stands atop a rocky mound. It sniffs at the cold air of a forested valley line with jagged snow-capped mountains. Its dark mane and tail whip in the wind as the Pegasus spreads it wings, ready to take flight.

The Pegasus is winged horse from Greek mythology. It is one of the most popular of all mythical creatures and is a symbol for wisdom, fame, and poetry. It has been a common subject in art for millennia depicted in thousands of paintings, drawings, and sculptures.

Typically, the winged steed is depicted with a pure white coat along with a snow white mane and tail. I, however, thought that, for my artwork, a light dun coat with primitive markings would be a bit more interesting along with a black mane and tail.

About how I create my artwork:

Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography, I use a computer to create my images. It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space. After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects, I have the computer create a simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then, using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet), I go over the work adjusting colors, adding brushwork, painting in details, etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris, ZBrush, Blender3d, Vue, Daz Studio, and GIMP.


Thanks for looking!
