Illustration Friday: SMALL

KI-LIN

In keeping with my theme within a theme (I totally hadn't thought about it that way R.A. but you’re so right!)... this is my littlest unicorn. I had it all worked out at one point, but I think I remember him being about 5 or 6 inches tall. Isn't it interesting how, with being so small, everything else around gets so big. A blade of grass becomes the equivalent of a sapling tree, a droplet of water could soak you, a colony of ants could present a real threat. Poor little guy!

Yeah, I like these themes!! They've been making the last few weeks kind of easy for me, but new work is coming... I just know it.

Happy Black Friday to those of us shopping in the US!

LAE.HAO.KELA
The Volcano Unicorn

My first IF. I'm actually working on an original piece for this but since I am already a week late, I'm resorting to the recycled image. This is an illustration I did several years ago. The idea, well that's long and complex, but part of it was to personify strength, solidity... after all he lives in a volcano.

Comments Welcome

Enjoy and thanks!
