For all journeys, neverending
Need a will, neverbending.
To find your way though mountains higher
You must follow the Lonely Rider.

The "Lonely Rider" is an amibiguous folk character in the Rian mythos. Also called the Traveller, it is characterized as always going, always seeking, seldom finding. It is the embodiment of the wandering spirit, accompanied only by its trusty mount.

Seeing the Lonely Rider is considered a sign of good luck, and that whatever journey you are on at the moment will be a successful one. But you can never meet the Lonely Rider, for it is always ahead of you, and always moving on. Nobody even knows if it is a man or a woman.

Colored pencils. This one is from a few years back, and introduces a recurring character in my art: the Lonely Rider. Mostly these were an excuse to draw fun landscapes, but I tired to come up with fun stories to go behind them.
