Rhino Riders 2

Ever since my first Rhino Riders illustration I have been meaning to do more.  Of course now I’m rendering my storybook illustrations digitally.  This one… well, I have mixed feelings.  I was really excited about the line drawing, but the coloring, not so much.  Maybe it’s too vibrant.  I have leanings toward muted and monchromatic palettes sometimes.  Well anyway, it’s done for now.  Time to move on.
