Samhain: spirit of halloween.
so here is my halloween pic for the year. I wanted to create a character that embodies the spirit of halloween.
samhain is actually the name of a pagan gaelic festival that was the origin for halloween. of course halloween as adapted many different traditions from many different cultures over time, but samhain is where it all got started. in olden times samhain was a festival to honor and remember the dead and celebrate the end of the harvest season. also according to pagan folklore, halloween night is when the veil between the human world and the spirit world would thin allowing for some spirits and ghosts to cross over between worlds.

Oh crap, did I missed these two last month. Then again, Halloween felt a bit off this year.
Anyhoo, I'll quit rambling now. The horse rearing up like that is a nice touch, and I especially enjoy the design of its rider and the background behind both of them. Good work!
