I absolutely love the concept here. The various demons rising - seemingly from this "pale rider" - are definitely sinister and menacing. You did a fantastic job with them, and I also like how the swirls of red - glyphs? - on his helmet and horns are matched on the demons' horns. It makes a clear connection between them. You also did a marvelous job on the definitive lines, both for the demons and for the "summoner".
One thing that stands out, though, is the discontinuous red lines separating the "bringers" and the creature controlling them. I think you added those in as a means of helping maintain the separation between them so that it doesn't appear he's being swallowed by them. I don't know if perhaps a different marker, one that's naturally darker because of the ink used, would help offset the different between them and eliminate the need for those lines. It might be worth experimenting with, unless you wanted to keep that to show some energy emanating from them. I could completely understand if that's what you were intending.
I do love the white/grey lines used to give shine to his armor, and the ivory skin certainly contrasts well with the darkness of the demons. The coloring you did stands out quite well, and it's interesting how in some segments of the demons, it appears that they might have a pattern in the darkness of their skin. Overall, this is a wonderful piece. Thanks so much for sharing!
