This is a series I did for my final Portfolio class, it still needs some touching up I'm really excited to have this much of it finished.

Its my own take on the four horsemen. I wanted to show them as women.... and influenced by four different elements and four different cardinal directions.

Pestilence was given the element "Earth" Her horse is made of mud and she dwells in the swampier climates more prevalent in the South.... Along with frogs and locusts that she uses in plagues.

Famine is from the frigid North, her element is "Water" (or in this case snow). And shes able to starve out farmland by pulling the moisture out of it and freezing the dried ground.

War, influenced by the element "Fire" comes form the East. Shes a medieval warrior riding a horse of fire into battle.
And finally Death. It seemed only fitting for Death to control the chill in the "Air".  Her horse is nothing but a smokey skeleton and she hails from the West.
