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.

It looks fantastic, I absolutely love it. The foal is a nice addition, so cute ^^ I really like how they each have a different horn that matches them so well. And wisteria always win *w*

Thank you! I like to fiddle about with minor markings and the alicorns to make each of my unicorns a bit unique.

XD I love the Last Unicorn as well! And I have to admit that it was my first thought when I saw this-- which is to say, it reminded me of it but I had to read the description to know for sure that it was your inspiration or not. So I think you did a good job of expressing the inspiration but it not being entirely the same.

Thank you very much! The unicorn's design is so perfect and lovely, it's difficult to bring myself to modify it much!

BardicKitty In reply to inkscribble [2008-07-23 17:49:23 +0000 UTC]

Most definitely. The Last unicorn design is easily my favorite of any (traditional/standard) unicorn that I've ever seen. (That being said, I've seen some unicorn varients that I really love, by which I mean not pure white and representing innocence.)

inkscribble In reply to BardicKitty [2008-07-24 03:22:09 +0000 UTC]

Me too! I like almost any unicorn that doesn't look like a horse with a horn stuck in the middle of its forehead, really.

BardicKitty In reply to inkscribble [2008-07-24 06:01:15 +0000 UTC]

*nods* Definitely. And really, that's one of the reasons I love the Last Unicorn design... It gives her such an ethereal and almost spirit-like quality that it doesn't look just like a horse with a horn on her head. I really love it for that reason. There's so much more to it.
