Expert Reviews

Guo Wei (NetEase Expert):
The entire artwork adopts a triangular composition, presenting a more stable narrative approach. The lighting in the scene is focused on the white horse at the center of the story, making the protagonist stand out more. The overall rendering of the artwork is well-executed, with evident attention given to the lighting and cool-toned fill lights in the shadow areas. The unique shape of the horse, particularly the curve and movement of its tail, is interesting, and the expression of its head is vivid, reminiscent of the grace of a thin horse in ancient paintings. The dragon has a strong sense of flowing lines, and its lowered head corresponds to the raised head of the horse, effectively conveying a sense of oppression.
In terms of material representation, there is a taste of bronze, with greenish copper rust and some polished highlights that are well-executed. The overall color scheme is not chaotic or jarring, with a good blend of colors that harmonize well together, including a contrast between complexity and simplicity in the colors of the dragon and the horse.
