Horse and rider from Body Worlds 2005

well this is from a sketch that i did i think in 2005 when i went to the Body Worlds exhibit at the Science Center in L.A. which is actually coming back this year to L.A. again in 2008. The exhibit was of a horse and a rider. Both the horse and the rider are without skin. You can see all the muscles, bones, veins, etc.. on the horse, and the same with the rider, except that the rider was also split in 3 sections which made it appear as if there were three riders instead of one. However as you can tell the horse on this image is not without flesh, but that's only because just last week when i picked up my old sketch book and decided to digitally color this sketch i decided that i wanted to paint the horse with skin instead of without skin. The image is kinda dark, i know. That's kind of how i wanted it to be, but i realize that maybe on some peoples monitors it might be way too dark. I'll try to see if i can fix that, because i think that i may want to do more with this image. i like it. Maybe i'll extend the right side of the image and add a road going down the hill and somthing at the end, maybe a castle or something. and there will be thunder, which will explain the shine of the horses body.
