Art Trade: Corbeau in Africa
Art Trade: Corbeau in Africa by @Lady_Epona (Sara Maydew)

My half of an art trade with Elgolas Kirmwood (check out my museum for her awesome horses). Whereas she agreed to draw Oshono'il for me, for my part of the trade I was asked to draw Corbeau! Which rocks, in my opinion!

Elgolas is from South Africa, hence the otherwise bizarre setting for this picture. I was origionally going to draw him with a rhino (the rhino being the only other creature in existence who could rival Corb for grumpiness and cantankerous nature), but ... yeh. Lets not say anymore on that subject. So instead I drew a gemsbok/oryx (whatever), since it's thought distant sightings of these antelope were mistaken for Unicorns. From the side, you can only see one horn.

...And as for what I've learnt from this experiance, is never to draw antelope again. Oh, and the colours. Aaaargh, too bright! THEY BURN MY EEEEYEEEES!

Yeh.

P.S Corbeau isn't supposed to be shooting laser beams from his nostrils or anything ... he's meant to be snorting at the oryx, and this was my intelligent attempt at showing that. -_-

EEEEK! Thank you SOOOOOO much! This is awesome, I love Corby and the gemsbok is Soo cute! I love his face, and Corby seems to be saying, "Hey, whatya lookin' at?". It's too gorgeous! Thank you so much again! :-D

Unique creature, I like it though it seems a bit dark considering the bright surroundings. You might consider adding some highlights to match the surroundings. Great picture though.

Ah yes! I guess I was trying to overcompensate for the ridiculousely bright background, haha. Thanks for the tip!
