Thank you!
Hello guuuys~! How do you do? ^^
Here's another work from series "too big to scan". This time I dacided to take part in an exhibition. The name of the exhibition is "Legendy śląskie" (Silesian Legends). Me and my group were invited to take part in it, tomorrow I'll have the opportunity to check out finished works from other persons, who also decided to take part in it, I can't wait x3
If I remember correctly the exhibition will be open from mid-February to mid-March, I wonder how many people will go to see it~
My work tells the story of a basilisk, that lived in one of the silver mines in Tarnowskie Góry. One time a little pincess Victoria, doughter of a prince of this area, went for a walk to the forest and met a misterious, old man, that told her a story of a strange creature, that lives in the mine and guards the underground metal. Curious princess decided to visit this place and look for the creature, that was called the Basilisk. Some time after she started looking for it, a big snake came out of nowhere. Once she met the basilisk, the princess runned away, scared to death, but when she escaped from the dangerous area, she found out, that she lost her crown. This object was very precious to her, it was made from a first lump of silver, that was found in the mine. Unfortunatelly the basilisk must have found it and took to its hideout.
Father of the princess decided to do everything to bring back the crown. He told the miners that the one, who will bring back the object, will marry his doughter. There were many daredevils, that promised to return the crown to Victoria, but once they went to the mine, they've never returned. When the prince and his doughter began to lose hope of recovering the crown, another man decided to take the risk. He was a young and handsome boy, his family was poor but hardworking. He went to the mine and didn't come back for a long time, everyone thought that he's already dead. But this time the mission ended sucesfully, the boy came back from the mine with the precious object. He married the princess and received a half of the princedoom as a reward. The couple lived long and happily and the basilisk stayed in its mine, angry for loosing its preacious treasure.
The end!
It's a short summary of what the legend is about, hope you like it xD
As always sorry for the delay, I'm so busy with studies right now, but also happy that I had the chance to somehow finish this work on time :'DD
Next time I made sth smaller, I promise ^^ Also I want to make some works with my OCs, I didn't draw them for months~!!

I mean, who wouldn't want to marry the king's doughter? she just too sweet to resist.
Jokes aside, I imagine that the handsome boy did what nobody else tried, he just snatched the crown sneaky-beaky style instead of trying to kill the beast, I'm not sure if that's what you intended but that's the best explanation I came up with. Also teaches the lesson of not always relying on strength but also your intellect.
Great job btw!

Well, you're right He took some snacks with him to the mine and sprinkled them along the corridors. Then he was observing where the snacks started to disapear and this way he found out, where the best was hiding. The others probably didn't have any good plan how to find the basilisk. They just went to the mine and got lost in a jungle of corridors ;d

So those other dudes didn't die? Might as well save them along with the crown too right?

Maybe they died, the story didn't tell what exactly happened to them
