You almost fooled me there! Its so similar yet vastly different.
Whats the orange thing on the horse's neck?
Firstofall: many thanks for comparing me to my absolute myth...I could not ask for more!
Secondof all
Well,the orange thing.
It is a kind of energetic nucleus, not actually flesh, but more something like the underlying energy of the living stone which liquifies and turns around the centre of this picture.In fact, you may see it's like it was illuminated from inside (can u?).

Hmmmm now that you mentioned it, it DOES look like the light is coming from the inside. At first glance it looked like a giant pimple
How did you achieve the "grainy" look in the sky?
Also, what does that orange tooth represent?
I wish i could paint shading that realistically . . . (well i can but i take FOREVER because i keep making mistakes)
Were you born with this "skill" or did you teach yourself by practicing? This isn't acrylic is it?

Pimple?!? er... damn google translator... what is a pimple?
The grainy look was not intentional, it comes from using soft pastels (pencils,dunno the exact term in english, wood sticks with an inner stick of color) on paper: the grain is given by the softness of the pastel, the grain of paper - this was very smooth though-, and the speed at which you trace lines on it.
I think nobody is born with the ability of doing things, there are just people that discover a kind of natural ease in doing some things. As u said, I taught myself by tring, rubbing, redrawing one million times, until I was (almost) satisfied. It was very frustrating, but worth all the effort.
The fact you can shade realistically should make you happy! DO IT! Speed will come after trying many times!

Lolz google bad for translation! pimples (aka zits) are those things that teenagers get on their faces when they go through puberty and you squish them and white puss comes out
I use a free English - English dictionary called WordWeb - it says "A small inflamed elevation of the skin; a pustule or papule; common symptom in acne"
Me born in Romania but me live in New Zealand!
And i thought this whole piece was done with a brush and paint . . . I've had the chance to use pastels in art class but i'm one of those people who don't like to get their hands dirty 
The truth is, i find pencil shading way easier than using a paintbrush.
Thanks for the motivation - that is one thing that i rarely have

Thanx for the definition!
Hey I didn't get my fingers dirty, used no blender.
I always liked working hard

holy! so the only thing you used to shade this whole masterpiece is the tip of your pastels?

I swear I did. It was hard but satisfying a lot

Yes i believed you

50x70 cm (height x width obviously) on Fabriano FA4 paper. To tell you the truth, I think I used no more than...huh...15-20 different pastels. I think I've got 50 or so...

I noticed the reacurring SalvDal esc art. Its much better than anything I can do but this type of art always gives me the willies.

It's very important when something you do inspires some other, it's one of the best reasons to make art...

Very influenced for the surreal artists, right?
IΒ΄m impressed... youΒ΄re very talented.
I love the eyerose, all is so crazy.
I think you need water... because you was delirant. haha
Good job!

that black thing in the sky! ive seen it before, it flew across the road once right in front of the van going extremely fast. this happened a long time ago, maybe i was seeing things but they look the same

Wow! Usually I paint unconscious images, this confirms the fact that the black thing in the sky is something lying in the collective memory (or something like this)
