Death's ride, Despair, is a good place to start.

Despair was built off one of the Abyssal horses from the first Darksiders. We just pocked a few more holes in his hide and threw on a saddle no one in their right mind would want to sit on.

Originally, Despair was going to be called "Shadow." I had this idea that he was basically a skeleton horse (think Muramasa), enveloped in "shadow matter." When at a standstill, the shadow matter would creep in over/inside his bones, creating swirling, opaque flesh, but when he busted into a gallop, you'd see it fly off. I also thought it would be cool if he littered bones, like a jerk. "Sheesh, do something about your horse, guy! Fuckin' bones all over my frozen wasteland..."

Can you tell I never draw horses?
