A class assignment: the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Well... I did my own approach on the topic, and I did lion riders from Sclaa, one of my worlds. They still represent the four horsemen, it's just with a more fantastic take.

I really enjoyed doing this piece, and it took a lot of work. I didn't keep track of time, but 20+ hours

Pestilence: south america, azetc, jaguar
war: Asia, samurai, tiger
Famine: Africa, ... no culture in particular, king cheetah
death: no culture, lion.

There isn't really much symbology, though. It's pretty much first which wild cat I thought best represented the horsemen, followed by a person of a culture I thought worked with the cat. except death, which I figured should be faceless. something like that.

A phenomenal piece this is! Such beautiful coloring. The choices of tones really bring out a quality to the picture that just makes it pop. Lovely work with shadows and textures as well. I can certainly see the effort put into it!

Interesting concept with the lion riders. :)
