Description:
Black and White Coloring Book
The wood-cut look illustrations in The Blue Unicorn’s Journey To Osm Black and White Illustrated book are reminiscent of old world fairytales by authors like Lewis Carroll and The Brother’s Grimm. It is a story which transcends age and presents valuable life lessons on overcoming adversity through perseverance and valuing friendship.
Everybody loves unicorns! OK maybe they don't but for those who do, they will love this story about a little unicorn who was born into a tribe of magical, metal horned unicorns. The little guy has no magic and he has no metal but somehow he must save the tribe from an evil sorcerer. Read the book to find out if he can do it.
“The metal horned unicorns are doomed!” That’s what Lauda Lead Horn wailed when she first saw the tribe’s new savior. OK, so his horn was not metal. . .and he did not have a magic power. . .and he was really a puny little runt. But doomed? Were things really that bad?
Well, things were pretty bad in the land of MarBryn. Magh, an evil sorcerer utilized unicorn horns and hooves to create his magical potions and spells. Those he used, to increase his power and to conquer everyone in his path. for twelve survivors.
Before the blue unicorn was born, Numen told Alumna, the aluminum-horned oracle, that he had a plan to bring the tribe back home to Unimaise. His prophecy was, “Only the blue unicorn can join with the Moon-Star. Until then, no new unicorns will be born.” Blue was the last unicorn born. Twenty years later, his horn was still covered with a plain blue colored hide. There was not a glint of metal to be seen on it or his hooves. And he still didn’t have any magic. But he was no longer scrawny and he had his wits. Though no one else in the tribe thought he had a chance, Blue felt ready to make Magh pay for his evil deeds. And he went off to do it alone. That was Blue’s first mistake. If the entire tribe was not standing horn-tip to horn-tip at the proper time and the exact place to help usher the Moon-Star Spirit into Blue’s horn, he would die. Then, the rest of the tribe would really be doomed.
Readers will follow along two journey paths in this book. Blue is joined in his travels by his mentor Gaiso, the Stag and his friend, Girasol the Firebird as they try to find their way across a danger-filled MarBryn to Muzika Woods. The rest of Blue’s tribe is forced to follow another route due to Nix Nickle Horn’s unfortunate incident with a Manticore. Nix, the great unicorn defender must safely lead the way for Ghel, the Golden-Horned unicorn; Silubhra Silver Horn; Cornum the Brass-Horned unicorn; Steel Horned Style; Cuprum the Copper-Horned unicorn; Tin-Horned Tinam; Dr. Zinko; Iown the Iron-Horned unicorn and the others in an action packed adventure to their destination in Muzika Woods. Both journey paths converge there in the Nebulium Circle.

I read this and was surprised by the depth of the story. A wonderful book and lovely illustrations.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book.
ReplyDeleteI liked the cover--where did you get it created?
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura Thomas...I'm so glad you liked the story. In 2019, I'll be releasing the novel version of this story which will go into much greater detail than the illustrated book.
ReplyDeleteSB, the cover artist and the illustrator of all 42 pictures in the book is Sudipta Dasgupta who heads the illustration company Dasguptarts. You can find him easily on facebook by typing that in. He and his team did an amazing job with not only the 42 color pictures in the book, but also the 42 black and white wood cut look pictures, plus the character design pictures. I really got lucky when he found me on a facebook group. :)
The cover art looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove stories like this.
ReplyDeleteI think the cover is cute. I saw someone dressed as a blue unicorn for Halloween. I wasn't aware that there were blue unicorns. (jozywails@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteThe cover is so pretty. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover art!
ReplyDeleteHI Misty: The metal-horned unicorns come in many colors. In fact, the color of some of their hides is loosely based on the color of the flame when a particular metal burns. For instance, a copper flame burns green so it was a good color for Cuprum who is a copper-horned unicorn. It is also a good color for Cornum, who is a brass-horned unicorn. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc so Cornum is a lighter shade of green than Cuprum. Potassium burns lilac so that’s the color of lightening that comes from the mauve unicorn’s horn. Other hide colors were determined by the color of metals in their natural state. Aluminum is mined from bauxite so the aluminum-horned unicorn's hide and mane are various shades of red and hot pink because of the reddish color of bauxite. Iron is known as the black metal. It gets its black color from magnetite so Iown the iron-horned unicorn's hide color is black. There are many other colors in this story. I hope you enjoyed learning the background of these.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is gorgeous! I love all the different colors, it looks beautiful together.
