Fan Art Friday

It’s been a while since I shared some Rampant Fan Art, so I moseyed on over to the Killer Unicorn Club on Deviantart to see what they had…

…and then I fell over in shock and awe from the wonderful drawings that people have done. Seriously, fan art is the Coolest Thing Ever.

For instance, take Emilia Argon‘s drawing of an einhorn from the Battle of Jutland:

The beard! The fangs! The braided horn dripping blood! Everything is to love. She really nailed the look of the classic sweet white unicorn with the killer twist.

And what about this gorgeous digital color rendering of a re’em, by ShadowKissedAngel:

Doesn’t it look like it just walked out of Rampant: The Animated Movie? I am completely in love with the appaloosa coloring. This is totally the kind of body I was envisioning.

Here’s another pencil sketch, this one from EmoAngel1122:

As you can tell from the text, this drawing depicts the close-up horror of Bucephalus.

And it’s not all unicorns. I’m particularly fond of this rendition of Astrid, from the end (!!!) of Ascendant, by xiao-tsubasa:

Isn’t this incredible? I just keep staring at it. I’m so stunned by the level of detail. Look at her hair! Her scars! The crescent in her eye. I’m also deeply impressed by the way this artist took Astrid at her absolute worst and managed to make her look so strong and capable. Well done!

One more Astrid from Emilia Argon (this one is entitled, “Astrid gets Gored and Stuff”):

Blue hair! Pink blood! The alicorn knife being wrenched from her hands!

Also, Emilia thoughtfully includes the best plot summary of the end of Rampant that I have ever read:

“Astrid gets whacked by an evil unicorn, spends three days lying in a pool of her own blood, her mum goes bonkers, she gets rescued by a giant talking elephant unicorn, then kisses Giovanni a lot. After that she pretty much kills everything.”

True that.

I hope everyone has an extraordinary weekend, filled with Halloween parties and costumes and way too much candy. I am super excited about next week — Queenie’s first Halloween costume, the start of NaNoWriMo, a giant contest announcement, and oh yeah…

The reveal of the cover of For Darkness Shows the Stars.

See you then!
