Inspired by Lloyd Alexander's chronicles of Prydain, which's most famous book is probably 'The Black Cauldron'.
Illustration for the two most warped character in Prydain, excluding Arawn, Lord of Annuvin, thus being a great threath to Prydain.

 

The Horned King, champion of Arawn, Achren the enchantress, and the Golden Pelydryn are (c) by Lloyd Alexander.

What? No comments yet? *Is surprised* I just love the colors of this one! They fit together so perfectly, and the clothes look fabulous. I like this... uhhh… what’s the word? Holvikaari thingy. *Cannot speak English properly* The background is just light enough to highlight the characters, but none of the colors is too light or too dark, pulling the viewers attention only to one point. I see that happen a lot, but you are obviously good at avoiding such mistake. It’s nice how you have added some of that red that is used in his clothes in that woman’s nails and lips. Great colors, great pic. *Declares* <br>Almost forgot: the first comment dance!!! *shakes her butt and goes*

Well you have artistic skills..but if the golden sphere is infact meant to be the bauble it is supposed to be only Eilonwy's. since Achren cannot use it. The Horned King is supposed to have antlers and is suppose to be draped in crimson except for his arms. which in the book.. are said to be bare.

I think that Mr. Alexanders' work is wonderful both as an author and as an artist. His writings are so exceptional that every time I read one of his books I just get so lost in them and cannot bare to ever put them down. Mr. Alexander is by far my most favourite writers of all time.He helps me to forget the problems in the real world, and my own problems. Thank you Mr. Lloyd Alexander!
