Tag As FavoriteComment		I read a book about these dwarf-like people who live in the mountains and have sheep for steed. Instantly I saw this picture in my mind.
Watercolours and coloured pencils on watercolour paper.

I agree with above comment: This would make an excellent book illustration. I like the action in the picture, as well as the attention to detail.

That's so cool! I'd probably think to ride a sheep if I were small enough... I love the horns! And the saddle and bridle are great.

Is this from Eldest? There were dwarves riding sheep in that one.

They look like racers in the shetland pony Grand National 2

I hope it’s not from Eldest or Eragon, because I always imagined Feldûnost and their riders very different. That’s beside the point because it’s a great piece of work. Real nice.

This is cool. Just a tip, on the ram: When you have them jumping something like this, you might want to have the ram leaning forward slightly. It looks like it’s just floating in mid-air. Otherwise it’s very good.

:-) Johanna Iso-Järvenpää replies: "Good point! The movement really would appear more dynamic if the creature was leaning a bit forward. My excuse: this is an oldie!"
