Prince with a Thousand Enemies SHIRT PRE ORDER
I would like to announce that my shirt ‘’Prince with a Thousand Enemies’’ is now OPEN to PRE-ORDER! :D I made a listing on my Etsy to make it easier this time:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/771189....._home_active_1
The design of this shirt is a fanart piece dedicated to my all time favorite book Watership Down.
The book has been such an important part of my childhood and the movie was everything I craved in animated movies. The circle of life and folkore shown through the story of rabbits is absolutely beautiful and such a rare treat for people who love serious and spiritual animal stories.
The artwork portrays several aspects of the story that are very symbolic for me: Prince El-Ahrairah, Frith the sun, who shown in a more nightmarish way with the cycles of the moon around it. It's also a reference to Fiver's visions of the field of blood and the suffocating rabbits in the rabbit burrow.
the Elil, the animals who hunt on rabbits, surround the prince. Predator and Prey are a necessary balance in the circle of life.
The rabbit skull portrays the balance between life and death, as well as the Black Rabbit of Inlé, whom I see as one and the same entity as El-Ahrairah. For Life and Death cannot be seperated and in the grand scheme of things, is one and the same.
This listing is a PRE ORDER for this shirt, this way it's easier for me as the artist to know how many of the sizes I need to order. I will order these shirts after the pre-order deadline is closed, which will be in the beginning of April. The details of that will follow and the production process will be updated on my social media.

"All the world will be your enemy, Prince of a Thousand Enemies! And whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you — Digger, Listener, Runner, Prince with the Swift Warning. Be cunning and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.”
I am in love with this. You should do more interpretations of scenes from the book, my copy of it is ragged and well-read and I always enjoy seeing stuff made about such a wonderful story!

Thank you so much!! I really wanna do more inspired by WSD <3
Pre-ordered! I absolutely love both the story and the design, it's stunning! (and my favourite colours on top of that! :D)
Omgosh thank you thaaaank you so muchhhh!! I'm so happy you like it <3
So you said in the listing you'll be ordering the shirts at the beginning of April...do you have an idea of how long it takes for people to get their shirts after you order them?
I can't tell you exactly, but I think production of the shirts takes around 2/3 weeks? and then shipping, which varies a little when shipped internationally..so I'm thinking around the beginning of May. :)
Just realized I didn't respond to this before, whoops. But thanks for the info! The reason I had asked is because I was thinking, if I had some spare cash at the end of the month, I could preorder one and have it sent to my Dutch partner and then he could just bring it with him when he visits me in June... Sadly, with everything that's going on right now, I don't think I'll be able to preorder it. Hopefully I can get one in the future though, this design is just so freakin' cool.
