Description
Somewhere in the wilderness of the American West, a wild mustang stands on a large rock to get a better view of the surrounding landscape as it searches for its lost herd on a foggy winter morning. The horse has a white and dun pinto coloration (rare in wild horses). It's black mane and tail blow wildly in the wind. In the background bare winter trees are revealed, emerging from the morning mists as the breeze carries them away.
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!

Revisiting and leaving comments on artworks I have favorited. Love this digital painting - this proud Pinto perches it's front legs upon the large rock on the hillside. He stands strong, free and at attention as he gazes over his territory. A well done scene of a beautiful horse and a moment that tells a story.
