Ratha's Challenge - Art and WIP by synnabar on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Here's a finished picture and a WIP I drew to help promote a Kickstarter project for Ratha's Creature, which will (hopefully!) be a graphic novel based on one of my favorite books as a kid (which is also a great read for adults), by the wonderful Clare Bell.

The Kickstarter project is here: [link]

It is a fantastic project with cool incentives, so please do check it out!

Note, I'm not involved with the project myself, but I love the book (and series), and I had a little time to draw while recently snowed in, so I hoped to help by drawing and spreading the word. I have been a huge fan of the Named series (Ratha's Creature, Clan Ground, etc.) since I was a kid (in the 80's!), and have been dying to do (new!) fanart, but I have very little time to draw lately. Having been snowed in recently, I had a little time to do some drawings.

Please pardon the photo; I've posted a scan of the final (see below), and will scan and post the other when it is complete.

The other piece, a WIP, is a big male, perhaps Shongshar, from one of the other books in the series, Clan Ground
