I have only now seen for myself the range of categories available for comics, as pointed out to me by another deviant. It seems one is spoilt for choice in this, which makes the scarcity of illustration categories all the more unpardonable. But I digress... _____
From the sublime to the ridiculous, apparently. So soon after a Rubáiyát illustration.
Please pay no attention to the silly title; I really couldn't think of one. It's immaterial, in any case, as you'll see.
This was originally conceived as part of the mercifully abandoned Unicorns, Almost, which older watchers might have a vague recollection of (reluctantly brought again out of concealment; see thumb below). I came across this part among some papers, and as it works well as a standalone little episode, and is not too terrible upon the whole, I thought I'd share it. If nothing else, it might raise a small smile.
I would originally have laid some sepia washes on it as I did with the first part; but as you see, I hadn't even got as far as erasing some of the pencil lines. __________
The other two (and only) parts before the project was abandoned:
oohhh. i so wish you hadn't abandoned this. i so wish to read it. and buy it. and i almost never buy books. ridiculous?...i suppose you could say that... but it is touching as well--the funny little story fragment combined with the grace of the drawing.
I just randomly stumbled on this and thought it was funny and cute. As other people have mentioned before, you've done a great job of making a fantasy creature look real. Your tiny critters are also unbearably cute.
I love miths! And your work? oh, my! Fantastic draw! A mix of Esopo with Charles Vess and Yoshitaka Amano... DRAW AND DRAW! Eh...Unicorn, Almost is...Lost? I hope not. forgive me the audacity.
