Description A Lady finds a quiet moment in an overgrown abbey with a flock of unicorns.
(Edit: I was so excited about posting this that I forgot to include the specs. 13x17" ish Prismacolor painting (colored pencils and markers) with a very small amount of watercolor.)

So, a while back uploaded this [link] fabulous stock photo, and I had to jump on it. Well, that combined a bit with the face from [link]

She's waited entirely too long to see this finished. I hope she likes it,

Check out her stock account and her costuming account [link] is great too!

You can thank the model for that. I did make her expression a bit sweeter, but the basic facial structure she gave me to work with really worked well for this piece.

Lovely work. I especially like the knotwork and the masonry in this picture. Those (imho) cat-like tails for the unicorns are a unique touch, very interesting

Yay! She likes it! Like I said, once I get the prints worked out, I'll let you know so that you can have one. I'm thinking this deserves to be like an 11x14" one.

Hi There!
You have just earned yourself an O.D.D. feature ! congrats!
Todays' theme was "For The Love of Traditional Art" !
ODDS (oibyrd's daily deviations) are to honor the sometimes overlooked artists of dA that I personally think deserve some exposure (and ALSO, to show off people who I think are undeniably talented in their own genre of art, REGARDLESS of their #'s of fav's or pageviews. I like what I like and sometimes artwork isn't featured in the regular DDs because it's popular all on it's own It's a shame, but the admins are only trying to be fair! ). Please click the link below to see your work featured and to view other featured artists . If you prefer not to be a featured artist, just send me a note and I will remove you from the list. Cheers! xoxo Sandi oxo

MPFitzpatrick In reply to tracyjb [2006-04-24 14:19:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'd been wanting to do something with some less horse-like unicorns, and that pic with the greyhound just totally triggered the image of medieval-style unicorns. I think they look quite interesting.
