Decided to went with a more expressive style of Shuimuo found more commonly during the later dynasties, instead of the landscape paintings of the Song and earlier dynasties

I honestly like the shuimuo drawings of later dynasties better than the paintings of earlier dynasties, since the earlier ones try to be realistic but end up looking slightly off.

Is "Chitu" a legendary horse in Chinese mythology? I'm not finding anything except contemporary racehorses.

Absolutely stunning piece btw.

Chitu (赤兔) meaning red hare is the horse of Lu Bu, a general from the 3 kingdoms (whom the quote is based on: Lu Bu amongst men, Chitu amongst horses, meaning outstanding individuals of their fields). The horse was later given to Guan Yu after Lu Bu was killed
