First of all - :iconjark: :nod: :heart: Respect Honesty Integrety Freindship

Secondly -

written by Ralf Persson ~Calm-As-An-Angel, specificly for this piece, not to be reproduced without prior consent (contact me)

Dark vulture! -
The sweetnes of the sunset
must die, screaming in terror,
before the night can spread it´s wings and fly
through horizons bleeding of beauty.

The world is wrapped
in the beating of crazy wings
in the pulse of a strange chaos.
The world has shut its eyes
behind curtains of unexplainable tears.
The air is as thick as flesh.
The song of light
drowns in the silence,
in the calmness of the eclipse
that hunts your destiny like a starving shadow.

At this dark dawn
so far from everwhere and nothingness
the sky seems to ask:
Why did you not leave?
Why did your heart make the world cry?
Why is the stars full of pain?



It's spooky how well he captured the mind of this stalion. :heart:

Third - This image started out not with Ataraxe in mind, but the impressive blood lusting winged stallion Barbaric Poetry. I don't really know who came first, Barbaric Poetry or Ataraxe, but it seems likely to me Ataraxe's spirit may have been inspired by Barbaric Poetry - Barbaric Poetry in his turn came from a text by man named Josh Kurvink, and it inspired me to create the portrait of that stallion - excerpt: "skull of vicious beauty carried high atop a thickly arched neck...braided flesh drawn taunt beneath scar-laced hide. Rabid eyes of seething honey hues gleam moodily behind the labyrinth tangle of unkempt forelock...such intriguing eyes....lupine gems that sing a soundless song of the winds between worlds." ( you read all of it here [link] )
Anyways, Barbaric is probably my most lvoed artwork, I've rarely recieved so much praise, and still do, when it comes ot that picture, though I myself for long have detested the poor quality in it. No, don't say it! Don't you dare! ;)
Back to the point - I wanted to redo it, better, with all the experience I've gained. It began well. but then... HE came alogn and ruined the idea. So Ataraxe it is.

I AM PLEASED :D Finally, I am pleased. And I want to share it with you. So I ask, what happens to you when you look at this? how does it make you feel, what does it make you think?

ATARAXE belonsg to MEEEEE! But you can borrow him for gift art if you like! :)

I should improove the hair I think.

Stunning! I am simply awestruck- this piece is so amazing. My favorite part must be the eyes and the way the coat looks. The stripes on his face seem to give him more character, almost like scars from some distant battle or something. I also love the wispyness of his mane and the light and clouds in the background. Well I guess I mentioned just about everything that I can see, but I think this is my new favorite of yours. Just beautiful.

Word to the wise: If at first you don't succeed, sky diving is not for you.
:iconlosmios:
It is scars! *lol* He was attacked by a pard (which he menacinly trampled to death, thank you very much! ,) ) and it just missed his eye!

Thank you for your kind words! :blowkiss:

:iconnabeeya:
oh my gosh! this is so awesome! i absolutely love the scars and beard! lol!
:icondreamesque:
I love the defiance and raw strength that radiates from the iciness of those beautiful golden eyes and the position of his beautiful head. Ataraxe, through this piece, personifies the freedom and independence that has become almost synonimous with the Vale unicorns and horses in general. Beautifully powerful work as always, Mia!

If reality can change dreams, why can't dreams change reality?
