Claire’s Art Direction: Hum, riders on the wind. Well obviously lots of wind in a pretty colour, and a rider – I know, a naked chick with body tats. Throw in some standard fantasy stuff, like a castle and a wizard dude et voila!

Cover yourself, strumpet! You’re being watched! At least the horse isn’t naked.

Isn’t that the fellow AND the castle from Riddle-Master of MedHed? Good to see they get plenty of work.

Clint Eastwood IS Merlin in RIDERS OF THE WINDS

Well at least it’s “exciting”. And “new”. That’s what the blurb copy says. And not much else.

I’m not a lady, but surely that would be uncomfortable? To mount your horse while naked? No, that didn’t come out right. To ride naked. No no. To get up on it while –
You know what, screw this comment.

That castle is lacking in the asymmetric overhanging latrine turret department. And that pegasus is lacking in the wing department.
What? Oh, it’s an ordinary horse? OK, carry on.

Riding a horse naked? Ow ow ow owchity ow. Without even stirrups to take a little of the … Ow.
February 8th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
As my old Wind Riding 101 professor used to say “To ride the wind, one must FEEL the wind.” So you see, the nudity has a practical purpose.

Place obligatory America “Horse With No Name” quip here – ” ”
Is that a small horse or is she 7 feet tall? Proportions seem wacky.
February 8th, 2012 at 9:08 pm
Normal sized horse, tiny head. Or maybe a Shetland pony. Or, since it’s difficult to be sure of scale and of the limits of a fantasy work, maybe it’s an eohippus!

The late Mr. Sweet always seemed to have a bit of problems whenever horses and proportion were concerned. Sadly of late, I find I can tell his work long before I see the artist credits.

I love the font so much. It’s like someone went, “there’s a gap in the letters… lets fill it in with … ummm white!”

Ugh, only masochists would ride dressed like that.

The wizard found a new use for his magical mirror when he decided to have a look around the realm just to see what was going on…

That wizard definitely looks like he just smelt someone, er, ‘riding the wind’.

She probably was a king before the CHANGEWINDS blew in.

Horse: (Sigh) Looks like I’m gonna need a new saddle, again.

This cover blows.

Wind aside, riding in light drizzle makes your body-paint come off on the horse.
April 23rd, 2021 at 10:43 pm
That sound you heard was my legs slamming shut at the mere thought of riding a horse starkers.
Or a pony. Or an eohippus.
Considering the equine is light blue, perhaps it is Her Little Pony? Mr. Sweet’s model was a naked Barbie with messed-up hair astride an MLP?
Wizaaard Clint is right to disapprove of all this.
PS. I’ve had my second vaccination!

Congratulations, GSS X!
So the nudist / tattoo enthusiast is riding her microcephalic horse around the Four Corners area, where obviously spending time nekkid under the hot Arizona sun will be only slightly less comfortable than the feeling of riding bareback squared after about twenty minutes.
And then half a European castle falls on her? Tough day all around.
April 24th, 2021 at 2:31 am
Perhaps the artist misunderstood the term “riding bareback?”
(Congrats, ex-noob)

I don’t think those are tattoos…I think she’s wearing an outfit made entirely of leather straps and buckles. Which is probably even more painful for horseriding.

I’ve heard of words getting stuck in your throat, but never words stuck in your beard.
April 25th, 2021 at 3:56 am
@Dave Van Domelen: or glued on strips of blue plastic. Which probably wouldn’t be comfortable either.
Don’t we have a “giant floating head” tab? Or does it not apply since it’s only the head from the nose up?
April 25th, 2021 at 4:28 am
@Ryan: A European castle falls on her and so does a giant (formerly) floating head.
@Dave, Bruce: I was thinking it might be some sort of lace or crochet get-up, but in any case, it’s going to be uncomfortable.

“I know what you’re thinking… did he cast six spells or only five? Tell you the truth, in all the excitement I kinda lost count myself. But seeing as I’m the most powerful wizard in the land, and could blow your head clean off, you gotta ask yourself: Do I feel lucky? Well do you, punk…?”
April 26th, 2021 at 5:44 am
@Ryan: since the horse is microcephalic, does that make it A Horse With No Brain?
(I think maybe the damsel is, what with the starkers horse-riding.)
@ARY: GSS.
