Description Looks better in real life! That's too big into my scanner so I had to take a photo. :/

COMMENTS PLEASE! I really would like to know how I could have painted this better. I mean, I think I'm gonna paint a better version of this one some day, 'cause I love that song so much. So I would like to know how to make it look better next time.
I think this looks a bit.. dull? Though colors look better irl.

I've always loved that song, as long as I can remember.

And I've also heard many different versions of the song, and I really can't say which one I like the best.. But here you can listen Elvis' version of the song [link]

I also like Johnny Cash's version, and this one from The Outlaws -> [link] Actually, maybe that's my favorite.

Lyrics:

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on hear their cry


As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies

Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Yaaaaay

Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky

Kuuntelin just tota Johnny Cashin versiota ja aattelin kattella mitä deviantartista löytyy siihen liittyen. Erittäin hieno maalaus tämä.

Wow, this is great. I'm not too good with paint so I wouldn't know how to improve it, but I love the red in the sky and how it contrasts with the ghosts<3

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. It's a tale older than the cowboys, for sure. I think this is the best picture I've seen on here in tribute to the song.

Hail from Canada. Keep up the good work!

VOI HERRANJESTAS ;;;3;;; <3
Nyyhkistä mä ihan kupsahdan ku tollasia upeita henkiolentoja leijailee mun vekkokalvoille -flop-
Eikun siis oikeesti tää on - ainakin mun mielestä - sun ehkä tähänasti upein työ c': hurr. Värit, asetelma, kaikki. Silhuettikin on niin taitavasti piirretty ettei henkeä saa.
Propsit tälle

This is great! I think you did a great job with the ghosts. The one thing I found to critique was the dark cloud near the horse and rider. It's a bit too close and too dark.
