Artist's Comments

:icondonotuseplz::iconmyartplz:

In Greek mythology, Ares (Ancient Greek: Ἄρης [á.rὲεs], Μodern Greek: Άρης ['a.ris]) is the son of Zeus and Hera. Though often referred to as the Olympian god of warfare, he is more accurately the god of bloodlust, or slaughter personified.

Whereas Athena is the goddess of strategic warfare, Ares represents mindless violence.

More than seven hours again. T__T

I like Poseidon better. Ares kinda scares me. I didn't mean for it to turn out this bloody and violent and terrifying, but then again, who am I kidding? He's the god of war and bloodshed.

More runes!

This is the second piece of my summer greek gods project with the first being Poseidon. It can be located here: [link]

Amazing image! It was cool searching the image for all the little details! The mane and tail are really nicely done: I love the highlights! The dripping blood looks really good as do the markings. I love the eye as well and the two horns...overall fantastic piece (:
:iconcantabile-reaper:
Thanks! Yeah, details often make up half my art. xD The horse, smudging, painting, reconstructing, background blending make up 40% of my work...and then, I wage the war on details. And I'm really glad to hear you like the blood. I was half-worried I overdid it and made it look like a halloween-piece-gone-bad. xD The eye --- oh jeez, I reconstructed the eye because I didn't like the way it originally looked. x3 :heart:
:icontriple-bar:
lol well all the work you put into it really pays off, especially in this piece. a lot of times blood does end up being overdone but I think you did a great job on it here! (:
:iconkatiecatapillar:

xD I think it's awesome. I think I also like Poseidon better, but I don't know why. I just do. However, love the mane and tail as always, love the horns, and the blood looks great. It's subtle and like water and not in-your-face evil.

My little cousin says it's the coolest evil horse she's seen and it's the best thing in the world, yadayada. So you won over a nine-year-old.
:iconcantabile-reaper:
You know, that says a lot that I won over Lauren. She's one of my toughest critics. x3 Yay! I'll make her something she wants next time.

Your face blows me away with its mind boggling amazingness!! Thanks you so much! That means a lot to me! ^^
