Description
She rides forth in the eerie twilight of the Badlands, her black steed in a thundering gallop, the wind howling, the shrill sound of her battle cry echoing across the wastelands. Black wolves race along beside, ravenous for the hunt and adding their howling to the fearsome cacophony. It is a sight and a sound to strike fear in the hearts of men...blackhearted men. For she is the Dark Valkyrie, and unlike the other daughters of Wotan who ride forth from Valhalla to gather back there the souls of fallen heroes, her quest are the souls of dying warriors who are indeed no heroes...she seeks the murders, backstabbers, and perfidious cowards who blacken the name of true warriors. They will witness her mortifying gaze and know retribution for their nefarious deeds...

very powerful image, excellent!
Fantastic character, scene and expression!!!
No quaffing beer in the great halls of Valhalla for the souls she seeks. Wonderful character, story, and image. Beautiful atmosphere, color, and composition. I love the colors and textures of the cloudy background, her icy stare, and the light and shadows throughout. Excellent work!
Love this, great action and great horse, mane, etc. Very nice!
i love horney women. nice job.
Wonderful lighting for the scene. I have a hard time not getting too much shine on the horse textures. Bravo!
That is a beautiful dark image!
Wow. That's awesome! 55 million stars. I love her!
Brilliant detail, wonderful drama. Would work as an album cover ;)
The Dark Side created so beautifully! I always imagine that there is another who collects the dark and evil souls, another besides the "Devil", or perhaps she is doing his work. Wonderful dark and heavily foreboding atmo. Has a hint of Frazetta's work.
I just love your work. this is absolutely fantastic! The horse is gorgeous!
That could pass for Frazetta, well done !!
She is a magnificent creation, so full of power and beauty!
