Darkness is my strength

I tried another new experiments in this picture. I used picture references for the markings needed for him. This is my first time blending grass with using my brushes, painting hooves and lighting the horse. I wanted a creepy and dark theme, since this colt is VERY dangerous. I know there some areas to improve and I hope they would come, with lot more practice and with a tablet as well.

Please don't steal.... Not a freebie
