Description A little sketch I did of a unicorn several years ago while sitting in the woods one fall day. God, it was a beautiful day. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for draft horses. I like the idea of unicorns being these huge, powerful creatures instead of the elegant and dainty versions more often depicted (not to say I haven't done that version as well, but I think I prefer this way).

Just found the scan in a random folder on my computer. I'll be moving this to scraps soon. I'm dying to get my hands on a scanner so I can upload some of my recent art. Oh well.

Pencil & paper... Nothin' fancy.

*EDIT* I'm sorry, but it seems I have finally fallen victim to someone stealing my art & claiming it as their own. I have had to add the watermark to this particular pic. Sorry to those of you who respect an artist & now have to see it like this.

Amazing stuff! I'm only asking if your on Howrse because im on and i was surfing around it and i found this person who was holding a Contest, You had to design a tattoo for her and i looked at the entries and there was this picture, she was claiming it was hers that she drew it and she put her signature on the bottom right corner. I looked at her page and she's 12! I have nothing against that its just are you that person on Howrse? Heres the link

Whoa!!! Um, no, I've never heard of "Howrse". This picture is most certainly mine. I don't think I've ever run into anyone claiming my art as their own before... What do you know, it IS annoying. I guess I'll have to watermark this.

Sorry for not replying for so long, I am not able to check in very often. Thank you for notifying me, not that I think I'll do anything about it, but it's nice to know people are on the lookout for this kind of aggravating thing.

wow...i wish I could draw like that...

I think I'll stick to taking photographs...lol. Great job

Tee Hee.... Thanks! Maybe you COULD draw like this with practice! Photographs DO rock, though

xorie In reply to livegroban [2007-11-07 01:07:55 +0000 UTC]

...more than likely not... my sister could, not me though. I can make a passable horse, people can tell it's a horse, and it might have some distinguishing features...but the art stops there. lol.

And I agree, photographs do rock.

OH!!!
It's a beautiful drawing!
I like it! Nice pose and the muscles looks just right!
I think an animal that symbolizes the spiritual connection between man and soul should be strong like this one...
Beautiful!

Do you have any idea how curious I am about you sometimes?

Lovely shading and anatomy. The horn is a little thin, I dunno much about unicorns is it supposed to be thin?

livegroban In reply to Diasan [2007-10-25 03:26:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, & yep. I did want the horn smaller & more angular than the traditional long, strait round horn. I don't know, it's just what felt like should be on top of his head

Diasan In reply to livegroban [2007-10-25 03:29:32 +0000 UTC]

oh yeah it's more natural kind of like a branch, I'm just so used to seeing the unicorns with the big horns. I have that image of the unicorns in Legend running around.

livegroban In reply to Diasan [2007-10-25 03:33:34 +0000 UTC]

EXACTLY! A branch! Just what I was going for! Now, not to knock Legend or anything. Ridley Scott had a pretty phenomenal representation, too.
