Affection

Happy Valentines, all!

Just a quickie for the occasion - aren't they pretty? I'm very proud of them.

I love The Last Unicorn, and when I draw unicorns, they always seem to come out with a similar body type to the unicorn. I try to compensate by making them unique in other ways - hope I've succeeded!

A little interesting note for those who don't have a psychotic obsession with unicorns: his corkskrewed alicorn has a basis in history/myth. According to Middle Eastern folklore, the unicorn, which they called the Karkadann - from a Sanskrit term meaning 'lord of the desert' - had a corkskrewed alicorn that could reach three feet in length.

[EDIT]

Made some major adjustments, and now it's all about family love. Added in a little unicorn foal (or perhaps fawn?) because I thought it would make a nicer composition, and because I just wanted to try doing a baby unicorn. Gave the stallion a pretty major overhaul - improved his mane severely, and changed his markings - I figured that since he's meant to be a karkadann, which is an Arabian unicorn, he ought to have markings inspired by desert and plains ungulates.
