To capture the dynamism of horses (or any creature) digitally requires a great amount of skill.

And you've certainly done it.

The different textures create depth and bring the horses to life, the brown horses especially look very real, almost as if you can see them galloping across your screen.

I absolutely adore the sketches in the background, I think it gives the image another level.

The only thing the image appears to lack are more angles, whilst most of the 'main' angles have been covered, I feel the impact would be even greater with a handful of more angles thrown in :)

Raw beauty and power are the first words that come to mind; due to both the brush strokes and the subjects.

The ambiguity of detail on the black horse invokes a great sense of mystery, and with a proper background it could easily become an image holding strong emotion.

The two, brown beauties portray a free-spirited sense of motion, however the one on top could have been flipped around to draw the viewer's focus away from its haunches and more towards its shoulders and nose.

The rough sketches intrigue me. This is the first time I have seen concept doodles compiled into a single, smoky cloud of lines. It makes the sketches more difficult to study individually, but at the same time it adds to the daydream-like theme of the image, and directs the focus to the larger, lone horses.

Overall, I must say this is a truly unique and inspiring compilation of art. Well done!
