Description Happy Easter, everyone!              


I do realize that this Easter drawing needs a little explaining, so if you're interested then carry on reading.
If not then please sit back, grab a cup of hot tea, shove a handful of chocolate eggs into your mouth and soak in the questionable awesomeness of my T-Rex vs Unicorn, Battle Royale!


Just like last year I wanted to create a new Easter illustration (it has now become a little personal tradition that I hope to continue) but I never planned on doing this, especially not another dinosaur drawing, since I already did that. (fav.me/dc7gqyg )
However, when inspiration starts banging on your door, you're compelled to invite it in and feed it some cookies, whilst frantically grabbing for some pencils and paper, before it inexplicably decides it has better things to do.
This inspiring idea came to me on February 18th when the wonderful Yesterdays-Paper shared this particular vintage Easter card from her collection, featuring a wintry scene, describing it thus: "Snow in March and April does happen, sometimes! Depending on the quantity, a snow on Easter can be rare and beautiful like a unicorn, or ferocious like a tyrannosaurus-Rex." fav.me/dcztwsp

That's when I realized that this would make the most wonderfully weird Easter drawing ever imagined, because nothing has less to do with the resurrection of JC than seeing an ancient over-sized lizard fighting a horny rainbow-pooping fantasy pony in a snowstorm!
In my humble opinion, you can't get more epic (or stupid) than this.    
And of course we’re going to have a very sunny Easter so this makes even less sense than it already did. Oh well, it’s the thought that counts.

Don't thank me for unleashing this madness on the world, thank the lovely instead. (And yes dear, you've created a monster indeed!)    


Paper: 170gr/m2 watercolour paper (18x26 cm / 7x10 inch)
Medium: graphite pencils, watercolour accents

Magnificent! and. . . my creation? oh yeah baby!
Uni's got this! Have you ever seen an equine in the snow? Majestic.
Now reptiles on the other hand, even the big ones - clumsy as all get out.

Lest we forget a little unicorn fought King Haggard's Red Bull - a creature
made of fire and a hundred times its size --  and that's pretty badass!

I’d say it’s a tough call because in the end it’s extinct vs. imaginative, but you do make a strong case.
I had to look up what you meant with King Haggard and now I realize that you’re referring to “The Last Unicorn”. That’s a movie that I still want to see! Or maybe it’s better to read the book first.

Anywho, I’m very happy that you approve of our creation.

I would say watch the film first, it's faithful enough to the book where if you like it reading the book after becomes a treat - it will feel like an extra features version of the film. TLU purists, come fight me!

for me the voice cast makes the film. so while reading the book I heard Alan Arkin's voice in my head whenever Shmendrik the bumbling but kindly young wizard spoke. . . and Mia Farrow's voice for the beautiful unicorn. . . Jeff Bridges as the aspiring Hero, Prince Lear, and Christopher Lee as the dark and brooding King Haggard.


Our babies are both bad and beautiful!     woohoo!

OK. First - absolutely awesome picture (as always by dearest Ejderha-Arts )!!
Well, I sat back, grab a cup of hot tea (no choco-egg, though) ... and eagerly continue in reading!
Great! Wonderful "collaboration" indeed!!
To the "battle" I must say, I'm always on the side of dinosaurs and lizards - they can have really very nice green skin!
Go! My T(ea)-Rex! GOOO!!!

Haha, I’m glad you enjoyed the read and I thank you for your wonderful comment!
I suspect our dear Y-P didn’t expect this when she uploaded her beautiful postcard two months ago.  
I’m also Team T-Rex, particularly because I just enjoyed drawing her more. And now I realized the missed opportunity of adding a cup of tea. Of course T(ea)-Rex would love our favourite hot beverage!

Happy Easter!

It's not a contest. Only way unicorn can hurt t-rex is if t-rex chokes on its horn as it swallows him.

Ejderha-Arts In reply to AllEagerThumbs [2019-04-21 08:13:02 +0000 UTC]

Agreed, although I do believe that unicorn could blindside T-Rex by speed and some well aimed deadly stabs.
But T-Rex will fight for the Easter egg like beserk so unicorn most definitely has little chance of victory.
