Description
I drew this pic for a contest on the messageboard of [link]We should draw a special scene of one of the novels from "The Animals Of Farthing Wood" by Colin Dann. I don't know the english title of the book; in german it is called "Als die Tiere das Fürchten lernten".
They meet a strange animal species which is some kind of cat but completely unknown. I find it really exciting and funny to draw so I include my personal interpretation of this strange animal in my picture. It wasn't very easy ... I have also taken some tipps by classmates of me (I drew this pic while my school trip to CenterParcs!
)Hope you enjoy it! :>

I wonder if they made a movie; I think the creature would have played a bigger role! ...Even more so than Bully!

For anyone wondering about this scene not being on TV, the BBC made a statement in 1994 to answer this very question. They said that, while they wanted to keep the TV series as close to the books as possible, the Siege of White Deer Park was considered "To have a plotline too perilous, dark and violent for mainstream television." On a timeline, I believe this would have fallen into the large time gap between series 2 and 3, not dead centre but leaning slightly towards the third series. I got the heritage edition of the first book for Christmas, and it is interesting to see just how different the books and the TV series really are.

Is this scene after the third season? Because I think I see Plucky in it

It's rather based on the Farthing Woo novels where the animals meet a strange catlike creature. This part has unfortunately never been in the series. It must have been between the happening of the second and the third season.

This novel was so interesting to read! It's quite crepy and dark in some parts. The only novel which doesn't have been turned into the animated series.

The animals meet a catlike strange animal and nobody knows what it is. It's a kind of cougar but its real species has never been told. It's very mysterious and dangerous. It kills some of them... D:

Is this a scene from The Siege of White Deer Park? The Beast? I've read the book, but I'm not sure if the cat was a panther, a black cat or the one in your picture.
But the pic is good either way.

It's rather my interpretation of the beast. I think it's never described enough so we can't really imagine how kind of cat it could have been.
Thank you! ^^

Wow! Hope you win the competition!
I always thought the Beast was a tiger!! But your idea is MUCH more interesting!!

The beast was an unknown species which had never been before. I like such mysterious creepy themes. ^^
Unfortunately I lost the competition! There were some better works than mine...

Oooh mysterious!
Aww shame! It was still good tho!

Oh, that's awesome! The mystery big cat and everything, how wild!
..you know, that cat was the oddest thing about the series. The fact t had another of its species callign ot it indicates its a native animal.... there's no big cats natve to England!

Ah, The Siege Of White Deer Park. I don't like how they never made it a TV show, and the third series was stuffed up completely!
This is a good picture.

Yes, I'm sure it would be interesting if they had put that part into the series. But some fans mean that this chapter would be too dark for a children's series, but I think, they had found some ways to make it good enough for a such series. So pity! :<
Thanks for the comment and faves!

I've heard that in the book there was a large cat called 'the beast' that terrorized the inhabitants of white deer park, and he left to answer the mating call of a female cat outside the park. So maybe it was the beast what you had read about? I think the beast was one of those big cats that was let free when the dangerous animals act came into force.

Auch dieses Bild ist wieder ein sehr schönes von dir. Das du nicht mal den 3. Platz gemacht hast erstaunt mich, denn in deinem Bild seh ich viel arbeit drin stecken. (Und natürlich auch Spaß an der Arbeit ; )
Aber es gibt vieles das man nicht verstehen muss.

Naja, ich denke aber trotzdem, dass ich noch so viel Mühe, Geduld und Spaß in meine Bilder stecken kann; an Künstlern wie Cab, Waldäufer, Pexi und Co werde ich niemals rankommen und das sehen auch viele andere in dem Forum so! Auch wenn ich eigentlich weiß, dass es beim Zeichnen nicht darauf ankommt, sich mit anderen zu messen ...
Auf jeden Fall vielen Dank für deinen superlieben Kommi! *knuddel* ^.^

The "cat" is very dangerous for every animal. I don't think that it ever could be a friend!

ich find die Szene richtig gut umgesetzt - vor allem die Fellstruktur der grossen Katze ist toll geworden

Hey Stephy!
Bitte nimm das Bild raus, vor dem Einsendeschluss sollte kein Bild öffentlich ausgestellt werden; das wäre mehr als unfair. Danke.
