Description

edit**this is an updated version I've reworked for my book 'Mind Over Machine' mindovermachinebook.blogspot.c…

The painting also won first place in a contest for Heavy Metal magazine last week! www.facebook.com/Thefourhorsem…

A little backstory on this: Back in 1997, I became an assistant director on the Simpsons, my first episode being 'Simpsons Bible Stories'...haha, I know
One of the last scenes was the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse riding on a cloud, red skies and ghoulish laughing.
The scene only lasts a few seconds, but took me over two weeks to animate....I had to 2d animate horses running in perspective, as well as these guys on the horses!
So I'd always wanted to do a recreation on the scene, in a much darker and grittier style. And so almost ten years after animating them, I was confident enough to create them in my new 'non-Simpsons' painting style:) Done in Corel Painter and Photoshop.

The horsemen are drawing nearer

On the leather steeds they ride

They have come to take your life

On through the dead of night

With the four horsemen ride

Or choose your fate and die
