Searching for the Crown

Published:
3.4K Views

Description

The Raven and the Unicorn were searching for the crown.
The Raven looked about the sky; the Unicorn searched the ground.
But though they looked both high and low
The crown was never found.


Probably because whoever sent them on the idiotic quest hadn't bothered to specify who the crown belonged to. If they had just said, "please go find the crown of the Mountain King," it would have been perfectly easy. At least, that was what the raven said when a six-year-old found the crown for them.

Can you find the crown they missed?

Yet another *joffo1 inspired drawing. The man is a brilliant photographer, you should go check him out. Anyway, the inspiration for this piece is Another World II. I've seen landscapes like it with my own eyes, but I've never had a camera on me at the time, and I don't think I could ever have recreated it from memory. So, thank you *joffo1 for being such an awesome and generous photographer. :worship:

Technically this was an intimidating piece: doing transparent misty clouds in colored pencils takes a lot of planing and patience; not to mention layers upon layers of paraffin. Oh yes, and the grass in the foreground took some time as well. *wrings out drawing hand*

Oh, and the unicorn is a palomino, because I have sworn an oath never to draw a white unicorn, and at the same time I wanted this unicorn to be a light color to contrast the black raven.

This picture was done with Prismacolor colored pencils on 9"x12" illustration paper, and appears on page 89 of my Black Book.
Enjoy. :heart:

That's so cool! Are the clouds supposed to be lions cause they look like it to me?
