Now that I've recovered from my cold and isn't sneezing my brains out, I finally managed to finish up my piece from @paulscottcanavan.com 's mentorship :D

Knew I wanted to paint a horse, so decided to draw some inspiration from the wild hunt folklore and ended up with bonus doggies.

A male rider dressed in leather armour rides across the sky. He's carrying a spear, and a half cape is flying out behind him. His horse have blue glows across its body, and they're flanked by two demonic canines with red glows across their body. Behind them is a eclipse and clouds.

The Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) and NGC 2023 - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/rhRRAz

In the Shadow of the Horsehead - Deep 26 Hour Version

I recently added a Ha filter to my collection and promptly put it to the test by soaking up a decent amount of data on the Horsehead nebula. I wanted to improve on my initial attempt on this target from 2014. One of the issues was that I'd like to show the delicate 'curtain' structure of IC 434, the bright glowing hydrogen emission that the Horsehead is silhouetted against.
This also prompted me to add more data to the LRGB channels as well in order to bring out the faint dust details better, so all together with last year's data I ended up with over 26 hours of data which I completely reprocessed and assembled into this updated version.
I'm pleased that the result has higher resolution and more depth than last years' effort. The colours are also richer and more refined and in particular the Ha curtains now stand out above and around the Horsehead.

About the image:
The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33) is without doubt one of the most recognized and fascinating objects in the sky. This iconic feature is formed by the sharp outline of a dark dust cloud, with a remarkable likeness to a horse's head, silhouetted against a brightly glowing patch of ionized Hydrogen (IC434) that is being energized by the hard ultraviolet radiation from nearby Sigma Orionis, a...

VGEN service: Stained Glass Illustrations!

Starting at $200USD, this is a very experimental commission type with a lot of feedback! Definitely interested in making pretty things for people's D&D characters! :D ✨🏬

A screenshot from vgen showing a commission option for a stained glass illustration. To the left are two examples of such a commission, the first is a blue stained glass image with an angel holding a mans face while the second is a red and black image of two men posing with their respective combat styles.
