SciFi and Fantasy Art: Aslan and Susan

<c></c>'Are you ill, dear Aslan?' asked Susan.
'No,' said Aslan. 'I am sad and lonely. Lay your hands on my mane so that I can feel you are there and let us walk like that.'

- From: 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' by C. S. Lewis


I wanted to try something different, and since I've eventually got round to reading the Narnia series I thought I'd try something from there. Not that the picture was based on that bit of extract. While its supposed to be not long after they came to Narnia the first time, I find it impossible to draw children's faces, so if Susan looks a bit old then we'll just have to assume that the Narnian air's been having an effect on her.
This is one of the few pictures I've ever done that's actualy come out how I imagined, so I'm happy. There are mistakes though, mostly when I wasn't being careful enough with the ink. Ink, watercolour and watercolour pencils.
