Description
New year, new software (just kidding, I switched to Linux and part of my software cannot be launched yet on my working computer, so I'm getting familiar with Krita in the meanwhile
). Warming up with Krita brushes I made this unicorn as a semi-study from the photo (which is amazing 'Grullo stallion' by venomxbaby ).Enjoy!
Made in Krita, GIMP-GPS was used for post-production.

Oh my god, a half-bay, half-zebra unicorn!
Plus point that it has splitted hooves!

And a leonine tail!
I don't really think it's a zebroid, but it certainly has an unnatural patch pattern. However making a zebroidal unicorn is a great idea!

Oh yeah, that too! (So that's what it's called, I'll remember 'leonine'.)
Ideas I always have, time to work on them? I do not. (Speak like Yoda, I did.)
I love uncommon (even unnatural) patch patterns until they are still somehow believeable. Just see an okapi!

Okapi's coloring is crazy, but very nice to look at!
I believe that either leonine or just lion's tail is a correct term (it doesn't look a lot like an actual lion's tail, but that's about practically any long tail ending with tuft, sometimes stylised or very rich).

Yes, lion's tail is a 'fogalom'. (Concept? Notion? A thing that means a bit more than what it simply is.) I believe it has a meaning in heraldics?

It's hard to tell if the lion's tail itself has a symbolic meaning - I think it was a mean of emphasising unicorns' nobility and wilderness, as they had an opinion of being almost untamable beasts. Or it could evolve as a more elaborate version of simple tail with a tuft, simmilar to the one of e.g. oryx - animal that was often mistaken to be a unicorn.

I don't know. I just find heraldics fascinating, but I never really deepened my knowledge about it.
