The Raven and the Serpent

Roughly 40 hours of work was put into inking this for the RSI fresh meat contest. Quill and india ink on bristol board.

Based off of the Aesop's fable: The Raven and the Serpent

"A raven in great want of food saw a Serpent asleep in a sunny nook, and flying down, greedily seized him. The Serpent, turning about, bit the raven with a mortal wound. In the agony of death, the bird exclaimed: "O unhappy me! who have found in that which I deemed a happy windfall the source of my destruction."
