Great work. I'll have to show this to my stepmother - she lost her right leg above the knee a few years back.

I like! :)

I saw Etuix's recent piece with this character and I wanted to ask (on one in your gallery): what's the adornment on his horn? Purely decorative? Magic radio? Did his horn get chipped or something at the same time as when he lost his leg and this "stabilizes" his magic?

None of the Above. If you are a Ham, you would see a small j-pole attached to the horn. this is for radio reception, the thing in his hand is a hand held ham radio. we call them handy-talkies, and the symbol on the shirt is that of the ARRL, which manages the Amateur Radio hobby. (grins) I guess you could say Magic Radio. but it's not magic, and hams live all over the world. it's amazing whom have been hams. it has no class division. kings and commoners have both been and in case still is a ham. Rich and Poor are all hams. The previous King of Jordan was a Ham. he loved just listening to his subjects talk. the King of Spain may be a ham, I have to research that more. Joe Walsh of the Eagles has a radio shack full of radios. there are others, Dear Departed Neal Pert of Rush was a ham.

hope this inspires your curiosity.

So it's a conventional antenna, and he's just using the horn as a convenient place to mount it?

Yep. I have always thought horned critters would use horns or antlers as mounts for electronics as needed. I have no qualms about seeing an Elk or a Moose with wires strung up for reception.

Oh, I see. He uses his horn because everyone who has horns and wants to mount something uses them, even though he specifically has a wheelchair he could also use instead.

Interesting little dive into his world.

70cm?

And wouldn't a mount behind the horn and over the head that keeps it at a more vertical angle produce a more useful radiation pattern?

Great pic!
