After doing 'India's Unicorn', which is floating around the gallery elsewhere, I thougt doing other places would be interesting.  Voila, one from Africa.  The only major thing I don't care for is that the unicorn is more blue than black.  Anyway, instead of dancing, she is walking proudly.  I'll let you figure out why.  Oh, and the strange designs on her body represent scars put on for decorative reasons.  I think I'll probably redo this one.

I'm the second comment? wow, this is a really nice piece, its very calm, I love the mane and tail, the collar and bracelet are cool touches...

12 Michelle B. Lackey replies: "Thank you! It's really kind of nutty, but I used Photoshop to make the mane and tail, layers and layers of black lines, and I actually went to sleep and dreamed of hair. Weird, no?"

Very nicely done. I thought the markings might be tatoos or natural markings until I read the description.

1 Michelle B. Lackey replies: "Don't let the description take away from your imagination, sometimes ignore the idea that it's even there. Thanks for commentin'!"

I think that her head seems a bit big, but I love the colors! I like the way that the background colors are the same as the unicorn.

12 Michelle B. Lackey replies: "Thanks! 'Tis my futile attempt at creating another pic like India's Unicorn. I not so great at series."
