This drawing was inspired by PC Hodgell's 'Dark of the Moon.' This is a young rathorn; the ivory tusk and armour are just beginning to grow.

Ohhhhhh. The horn, the horn!!! I really like this pic, although I have never read (seen) any of his work.

A second rathorn in Elfwood. My lucky day. 12 Wonder if Jame is anywhere to be found? This beast is far more fearsome than the first I found, more true to written works. I do disagree however upon its age. The big horn of the beast continues to grow throughout it's life and if not kept honed down it will curve back over the head of the rathorns and ultimately will kill the animal by piercing the back of its skull. This is an old beast.

A P.C. Hodgell fan, too? This is a great play of textures. Keep up the good work.

I *just* got done reading the meeting between Jame and the rathorns in <u>Dark of the Moon</u>, and I couldn't get a handle on what they looked like, so I figured I'd check with the talented folks on Elfwood - and lookit here! Excellent. 2 Yah, the plates and horns grow as they get older, so... maybe this is an older one, or one that hasn't developed full body plate for some reason. I love the atmosphere of this piece. Very nice. Bravo!

Wow, there is so little Kencyrath fanart out there, and the amount of actually good art is even smaller, but I really like your drawing. I tend to forget the majority of rathorns actually have black coats, not white like DeathsHead...
And it’s always lovely to find another Hodgell fan!!
...If you have seen the cover of ’To Ride a Rathorn’, there is a picture of DeathsHead, and he is still rather young. I mean, we never really know if that is how she intended them to look, but your drawing is actually very close to what the cover has (of course, yours is younger, but the idea is there).
