Description Since I have been mulling strains from the movie around in my head, I had a look at this old friend.
It's funny about the character designs that I found very little consistency in them, yet because of that the feel of the movie was so magical. The Unicorn had an odd feel of being the most graceful, also could look very clumsy due to being such an unnatural beast.

This bit is a look at a few of the many color variations throughout the movie. In actuality, The Unicorn was almost like a chameleon.
She could be gray in the moonlight, have hints of the lilac of the forest she lived in, or shine brightly.

She is the only critter I have drawn using pure white in a long time. White and black are very stark and in most situations I avoid implementing them. It was clear with the design, The Unicorns shone as bright as the sun. A little freakish, but I hoped my hand at it was somewhat good. This is my 3rd try at it, and I think I have gotten better. Please excuse the craptastic background used to show the slight differences.

Edit to improve watermark quality and less sucky BG.

All are beautiful, but my favorite is the second one.
I love the mix of blue and violet.

I kinda feel lame for the pose. Next time I'll try to draw something more dynamic. I am really happy with what I learned about how to muster detail from linework and how well the stylized work was simulated.

I want to get the DVD's from Wal-Mart and redraw them. The art is fail.
