Description
Happy Valentines, all!Just a quickie for the occasion - aren't they pretty? I'm very proud of them.
I love The Last Unicorn, and when I draw unicorns, they always seem to come out with a similar body type to the unicorn. I try to compensate by making them unique in other ways - hope I've succeeded!
A little interesting note for those who don't have a psychotic obsession with unicorns: his corkskrewed alicorn has a basis in history/myth. According to Middle Eastern folklore, the unicorn, which they called the Karkadann - from a Sanskrit term meaning 'lord of the desert' - had a corkskrewed alicorn that could reach three feet in length.
[EDIT]
Made some major adjustments, and now it's all about family love.
Added in a little unicorn foal (or perhaps fawn?) because I thought it would make a nicer composition, and because I just wanted to try doing a baby unicorn. Gave the stallion a pretty major overhaul - improved his mane severely, and changed his markings - I figured that since he's meant to be a karkadann, which is an Arabian unicorn, he ought to have markings inspired by desert and plains ungulates.

I loved that movie, it is so sad what happens through out the movie...Or at least to me it was kind of sad...The unicorn had it rough.
Amazing drawing, love the intricate vines and grapes through out the unicorns hair.

She did indeed, but she gained the ability to love, which is a very precious gift, so I reckon it all came right in the end.
