Description You can see them only if you've seen death...

Ever since reading the 5th Harry Potter book, I've fallen in love with the concept of Thestrals, i mean, skeletal dragon horses? it just screams 'draw me!'

and so here we have it, my interpretation of a thestral..though he looks a tad plump for an all bones kinda creature. ^^

i promise more naruto stuff is coming -_- meh heh, in the mean time, stare at the HP inspired goodness!

Well, IΒ΄m not a big fan of HP, but I love this picture!! The anatomy of the horse and its wings, and the moonlight shining on it... I donΒ΄t know if it looks evil or just too beautiful, but if I saw one, IΒ΄d try to touch it for sure. (I lack of sense of danger ).

That's so awesome! I just recently got to the point where I can draw dragons... variations on them are much beyond me. And I really admire anyone who can draw horses. They are so hard to draw! You did an excellent job on this.

hot damn (oh don't i sound sophisticated -_-; that is beautiful! I love the colors and the design; sorry for asking but is the light source a little wrong or am I just a dork? if you pick the latter, about seventy other people will agree with you so don't be afraid to tell the truth . I really like how u used the black clouds to frame the figure so to speak and i so think u captured the thestral...ness...well. ^^ kudos!

noo you're definitely not a dork at all! the light source is probably madly wrong but i'm to dumb and lazy to actually figure out what it should look like. truth is, i didnt really have a set light source when i was doing the picture in the first place so whadda ya know. thanks so much!

You might want to draw the wings with just a little more... um, bone, because it looks kind of like those wings are going to give out at any moment

Utterly creepy and just too cool. ^^ Sure, he's a bit plump looking when he's supposed to be just skin and bones.. but even so, he's still quite demonic looking in nature. Don't forget frightening either

I love how the moonlight reflects off it, and the clouds in all their nice cloudiness ... The animal's design is really interesting. Absolutely gorgeous colouring!!!
