I wanted to try making a unicorn like those in old tapestries--long neck, long horn, a bit more deerlike. So this one has medieval proportions. I imagine he employs that horn like a lance.
The background is from a photograph courtesy of my dear friend Audrey Lockwood (who, it should be noted, is a better photographer than me, as we spent a weekend at the exact same places taking the exact same pictures, but hers turned out better )
What I found to be the chief difficulty: a white animal in a green forest.
Oh wow! Now that's a unicorn! I love horses with all my heart but I still prefer the impala-like traditional unicorn. And you've captured it wonderfully! It looks so pure and majestic! Amazing job!
Thank you so much! I also adore the traditional unicorn, and I wish I saw more of them around deviantART. This unicorn is nearly all deer. Someday I'd like to do one of a unicorn like this in motion--leaping or galloping.
Yeah same here. To me the traditional unicorn is more magical than a horse with a horn strapped to it's head. Good luck on your next project by the way.
