The contest consists on turning a song into a comic. You don't have to use all the song. I used the last stanza of Forest of Unicorns by Rhapsody of Fire
Here you have the lyrics:


Run holy beloved horse
on this peaceful day
through these valleys kissed by light
where peace is so rare

So hardy trees let me hear your words
about those memories
please tell me all about our hold
and epic battles they won

Beware of unholy fire
my guardian of the trees
their flames can't burn the memory
the wisdom of the kings
The secret of this forest
the ride of unicorns
are treasures of these valleys
where freedom has its throne
where love must reign eternally
avoiding acts of war

We must have all their valour
to defend these lands
or the sun in these valleys
will not shine again

Beware of unholy fire
my guardian of the trees
their flames can't burn the memory
the wisdom of the kings
The secret of this forest
the ride of unicorns
are treasures of these valleys
where freedom has its throne
where love must reign eternally
avoiding acts of war

Beware of unholy fire
my guardian of the trees
The secret of this forest
the ride of unicorns

If you want to hear how this sounds, here's the link:

The pics of this comic are not drawings but sculptures. I sculpted the three unicorns with plastilina jovi (plastercine, sort of modelling clay)
And of course I used photoshop brushes from this website, especially to draw the fire and so on:

Living_Dead_GirlWao, I love this! The unicorns indeed, came out amazingly! =D Very nice use of lighting in the fire picture! It tells a very interesting story and it reminds me of that old movie I was when I was very little, "The Last Unicorn." This one is quite lovely, indeed! ^^
