[Fanart] Shanks vs Jackalope

Shanks and the Jackalope by Lillikira

a doodle/drawing inspired by chapter 14 – Ninja VS Pirate of the fanfiction Lost Uzumaki I have been writing and posting to Fanfiction.net

If you are not familiar with the furry creature, it is a Jackalope.

“The jackalope is a mythical animal of North American folklore (a so-called “fearsome critter”) described as a jackrabbit with antelope horns or deer antlers and sometimes a pheasant’s tail (and often hind legs). The word “jackalope” is a portmanteau of “jackrabbit” and “antelope”.

When does your muse strike?

Over the years I have found myself brainstorming and considering scenarios for fanfiction and other stories whenever and wherever I was. Sometimes these led inyo actual ideas for things I would later write. Other times they were more just what ifs I considered for fun. Lately though, my muse seems to enjoy giving me shots of inspiration while Im in the shower. (Demonstrated by the 1200 or so wordd I wrote after my shower last night.) So goes the quote, “Never mess with a muse.” 🙂
