Description Made this one a couple of days ago... playing around with some styles..

please like my facebook page! --> www.facebook.com/scarypet


Funny how people think that this unicorn can't eat grass so it will die and thus it's a bad design... I see your point, However 1) its a fantasy creatureπŸ˜…πŸ˜‚ , and 2) There are a lot of Ungulates that don't eat grass but shrubs or trees etc- like giraffes and some antelope and mountain goats etc.. However, I like to think that Magical creatures such as unicorn don't require the same sustenance as biologically accurate animals (Shadavhar was a carnivore!). In fact in mythology many such creatures are simply created out of magic and/or earth elements and exist for one sole purpose, so they don't really eat~ But I digress, as even in real life, there are lots of animals that are cursed by their own terrible evolutionary adaptations, like those warthogs whose tusks grow long enough to pierce their skulls (and rams with their horns). On the other hand there are those that lose the ability to eat after maturity either because of overdeveloped mouth parts, or a total absence of mouth parts.


As for this drawing? This Unicorn's purpose, is to gore unsuspecting fools- attracted by the wonder and prospect of such an exotic wonder, they stray too close and are hastily, violently, introduced to the Unicorn's most distinctive feature. In an instant, they have more blood and viscera outside their bodies than they do inside. The Unicorn is invigorated by the presence of carrion in it's territory. Amidst the rot and the flies, it's skin hardens to rock. It's furious hooves and horn gouge the earth, tilling the corpses into the soil, and the forest grows wild, drunk on fetid.... fecund... fertile soil. The Vitality hangs heavy in the air, and the Unicorn breathes it in. It enters his pores. There is so much energy in the air that like dewdrops it clings to and drips down the Unicorn. In it's domain, the Unicorn does not prance, skip, or gallop. It just charges. It tramples. It rips up both plant and creature. The forest is constantly torn and remade, and in this perpetual cycle of vigor, the Unicorn thrives.

As cool as the horn looks admittedly, it's also highly impractical since it will prevent it from being able to eat.

oh, unless it eats foliage from tree branches and bushes...

Even so, it would still get its horn caught on them from time to time.

This design is incredible, reminds me of a Quilin with those scales. I LOVE the design of the horn, and I love how it and especially the scales have been painted, the detail is lovely.
It's always interesting to see unique takes on traditional fantasy creatures, great work.

it looks great! to bad it will starve since the horn is longer than it's mouth and will prevent it from reaching food

Huh, cool. Nice design. I guess this will be how I imagine unicorns in the Dresden Files from now on, because that fits the description pretty well. Well done.

If there's a "good" version of it, there's gotta be a "bad" version of it.


Nice job!

I like this design very much. It looks so different from the typical Unicorn, that's very interesting! It's looks so powerful.

Really interesting to see this design on the horse


Really looks like evolution at work ;3


Although it will require a lot of muscle in the neck to be able to use the horn effeciently
