Description

I almost gave up on this picture due to its age and also… eeeeh I really don’t like drawing backgrounds. Especially those that include a lot of rock and water, I honestly don’t know how to do them. I still don’t but I suppose by trial and error I will eventually learn how to pull it off correctly.
Cornwall and Brittany are in a river in search of the famous “Salmon of Knowledge” (in Irish “Bradán Feasa”) that they heard Ireland mention in some of his tales. You see, you take a bite of this fish and you shall have all the knowledge of the world and the universe at your disposal. It’s a rather attractive idea to gain all that knowledge, so these two little Brythonic Celts are trying their luck in catching the salmon. Brittany is reminding Cornwall that just because he caught a bigger salmon than hers doesn’t mean that the bigger salmon is the Salmon of Knowledge.
I guess they didn’t hear the part of Ireland’s story about how the Salmon of Knowledge was caught centuries ago and it was an Irish mythical hero who was the first to taste it by burning his thumb on it (while he was cooking the fish). Thus he was able to gain access to all the knowledge by putting his thumb in his mouth. So this hero, Fionn Mac Cumhaill, could be technically called a thumb-sucking hero. Well there has been some debate whether Fionn had to just put his thumb in his mouth or had to touch a molar with his thumb to get to the knowledge. Either way, Brittany and Cornwall haven’t clued in to the fact that the salmon they’re looking for is long gone.
Hope you like it!
