Re: Don't call them pretty ponies...


Icons depicting the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse on Asphalt:
- Conquest/Pestilence (with the Bow and Crown) on a White horseshoe
- War (with the Sword) on a fiery Red horseshoe (PMS 185 C and PMS 1505 C)
- Famine (with the decaying Scales) on a Black horseshoe
- Death (with the Scythe and Bones) on a Pale Green horseshoe (PMS 578 C)

I was originally going for the look of the "Rock Band" icons (all four in a straight line), but liked this layout better once it was done.

Side note: If you saw last week's "Into the Great Unknown" with the little girl and the dog going adventuring, that was my wife's. Since she started using my account to submit derby entries, I had to submit this one under her account (because our two drawing styles do not live in the same world!)

And now there will really be competition, love! I dread both of us needing the computer at the same time!

If Bad Horse ever needs a new logo, we know where to send him.

The Thoroughbred of Sin?

I'd be interested to see what the 'Rock Band' layout actually looks like. It probably wouldn't be great for the shirt since the icons would be smaller, and the detail more difficult to see... but I'm wondering if you have a copy of the in-a-row design.

otterific design, btw. I would also really be interested in a set of shirts, each with one symbol...

This design is sweet - I would buy this in a heartbeat.

I like these designs, I just wish they were a little smaller. Like all four across the top of the shirt, instead of the square formation. If it was like that I would be in for this completely.

I don't mind the size, but don't care for placement - would definitely buy if vertical along left side of shirt.

Definitely the best "Horsemen" based design in the derby.

Love the design.

The white horse has only a bow. There is no mention of arrows.

I don't have a problem with assuming the presence of arrows considering that a Horseman whacking people to death with a bow is not particularly fear-inspiring.

Unless it was a +10 Vorpal Bow of Bow-whacking. Then it'd be something indeed.

This nonsense was brought to you by the number 4, the letter H, and Vanilla Ice saying, "That's whack, Homey!"

I got a fever, and the only prescription...is more pong! (What Christopher Walken should have said in Balls of Fury.)

You're right. I tried just using the bow in the design, but it looked out-of-context without an arrow. I took some creative license...

I think that's entirely reasonable - a bow on it's own is about as useful as a sneeze in a snowstorm.

This is phenominal - I only hope it didn't make it into the derby too late to get printed. I particularly like the consistency among the four designs - the way the crown matches the guards of the swords and the way the bow and scythe have the same cerration (sp? - not sure if that's even a word..) Even the horseshoes if you really look at them are all the same - Just an absolutely goregeous design; I'd probably buy three.
