Description
Inturpritation of a gothic style unicorn. I hate the new-age kind of unicorns, big white horse with a horn... that's SO a 20th century perversion of the mythology. Unicorns historically represented a lot of things including sodomy, death, distruction, wickedness, and the vices. They weren't always smiles and sunshine.So, in honor of that long and sometimes dark history. Here's a black Uni'. My desperate attempt to break the mental and creative block I've been suffering for the last two weeks.

Neon Dragon has a Deviant Art account too. It just looks very close if tilted a bit.

I know Neon Dragon. They drew that image a year after I drew mine. Wouldn't be surprised if there was some inspiration there given we know each other's work.

I really like the Gothic interpretation, but I can get behind a noble, powerful creature too. Just not the sunshine and rainbows version. If it gives you cavities by its presence, you're doing it wrong.

Gorgeous - I love the elegance of the pose, and the way you've made it more like a deer than a horse in some ways

I love him, can't help but be reminded of all the other mythological creatures who have been warped through time. He's amazing I hope he did help with your creative block because he's just too good.

This is wow... Just amazing! I agree, the unicorns that are simply a horse with a horn is, well, the word that comes to my mind is corny. Keep up the great work! (do you do commissions?)

Thanks.
Unfortunately, no. I don't take commissions currently.

But smiles and sunshine are so pretty D: I do really like this though. A stab at the origional and unconventional unicorn that is very admireable.

I drew a unicorn using this image as a reference a million years ago, and I'm wondering how you would feel about me uploading it, but putting a link to this page in the description, clearly stating that yours is the original? If that's not cool I completely understand

That's fine. I don't mind.

This is absolutely awesome! Almost every day I look at this amazing work you did here. That new big white horse is kinda nonsense...

This is very lovely and epic. It is really rare now-a-days for me to find art of a true unicorn. You know, cloven hooves, slender bodies, beards, very long horns and a lion's tail. Thank you for this piece.

lets say one day you give your son a icecream cone and it dissapears, the next day wondering in the forest you will most likely you will find your sons icecream cone stabbed through your heart with a horse covered in icecream laughing at you.
