Here we have Rumplestiltskin (a.k.a. "Rumples") the unicorn and Sequiel, the former magical creature hunter, who has been transformed into a lyon, which is, of course, the unicorns' legendary enemy, facing off in a mist-shrouded forest.

These are characters from "Escapia", one of my many back-burner novel projects, which could possibly become another graphic novel project. It takes place in a medieval-ish land where magical cratures are being integrated into human society.

Rumples and Sequiel are friends who are on a quest to find the legendary land of Escapia, but at this point in the story the unicorn has been talked into luring the human into a trap by some vengeful fellow unicorns, and the "lyon" transformation is to encourage Rumples to finish him off (and also because I'd rather draw a lyon than a person )

BTW, about the name "Rumplestiltskin" - in the story, unicorns don't have names so as to be more mysterious, so Sequiel gives his unicorn friend a "mysterious" name.

Thought I'd tell you all that but I don't think it's neccicary to know to enjoy the picture - it could just be some unicorn and some lyon.

And about the fact that there's no room for the other unicorns' bodies behind those trees - it's a magical unicorn forest thing ;).
