SciFi and Fantasy Art Giant’s skull by Rhiannon C. Piper ´Daggermaiden´

Over the desert he ran, his muscles straining as he pushed onwards sweat nearly streaming from his flanks. Tonlin recognised the familiar scent on the musty air as he flew over the dunes, correcting his course a little more to the west, one more dune and there it was! The giant’s skull gleaming white on the horizon, a haven for plants and the desert wildlife. The giant’s skull (obviously magical) had sat in the middle of the desert for millennia’s with plants growing on and around it and a refreshing pool of water beside it with a sparse purple grass found nowhere else covering the sand for meters around it. On he went, his body screaming for just one mouthful of the water, but this was not training or a few simple messages that could wait a few minutes while he had a drink, this message was life and death for his king, his family, his friends, his life! It all rested on him and how fast he was, every second counted, for every second death came closer….

14 Jul 2005	Andy Guest	Loading... That's a very cool idea... never thought of doing a giant's skull before. Could have someone having a snooze in one of the eye holes... enough rambling! I like the way you've done Dobbin the Horse there Rhiannon, the hair and tail are great, really give a sense of movement... yep, good work... Have you got back off holiday yet??..? Where's my stick of rock and nudey bird postcard? Rhiannon C. Piper 'Daggermaiden' replies: " Grudgingly hands over the stick of rock but i ran out of money for a nudey bird postcard for you and if you are going to complain i will have that rock back!! Anyway thanks for the comment on 'Tonlin' i was in a draw a horse mood that day "
25 Aug 2005	Melanie 'Coffee Goddess' Wood	Loading... I'd have hated to see that monster alive, I can tell you! Need a bit of shading under the horse, but I see you've made it round the skull. Except for that, great work. ...nudey postcards...pfft! Rhiannon C. Piper 'Daggermaiden' replies: " hmm yes you as probably right! more shading is needed!! thanks! roles eyes up yep well thats Andy for you!"
17 Sep 2005	H. Tran aka 'Alyahn Darkelf'	Loading... Ooooh, fabtastic! Love the skull, and I really must praise your work on the horse's hind legs! Rhiannon C. Piper 'Daggermaiden' replies: "thanks!! glad you like it and him!!! have a cookie!!!"
17 Dec 2005	Mathew 'kaji' Maddon	Loading... You know, i like walking and randomly coming accross a giant skull on the ground! always good times! awsome pic! Rhiannon C. Piper 'Daggermaiden' replies: "well i must agree a giant skull is much better than a live giant that it looking for its next meal!!! thanks!!!"
26 Apr 2007	Em Beslar	Loading... Lovely balance here, nice use of space! And that's just an awesome concept! It reminds me of that poem Ozymandius. Just because it's a giant head in a desert. But wow, what a story behind that! I'd love to hear it more in-depth - more about the skull and more about the life-or-death mission! Great energy!
