'Dashing across the plains a blue horn lit Dorihan’s path. He fled quickly toward his doom. Racing with the wind. The war had just started. The sounds of roars and cries echoed from a distance. At that moment he came to a steep hill, he had no choice but to climb as quickly as he could. He dodged up the cliff, and at the top, he could see a view of a bird. He saw the whole battle down under him. Rising to his feet he gave a lout cry. His horn lit up and exploded with light at the top. All below was silent. Dragons looked up and dazed at the blinding light. The power of the Black unicorn pulled the enemy’s attention toward him. He looked down and snorted at the dragons. Atop a cliff on the other side of the battle was Fangraw. His heart dropped and fear darkened his thoughts.' A part of my story Unicorn's cry. ^_^ The picture of the mountians and valley were taken while i was hunting. The unicorn was done with colored pencils. The sky was created in photoshop.

nice pic but... I have the same horse in my poster and its a photo... but otherwise I like it!

:-) Alyssia Landin replies: "Thank you for commenting. Actually the horse in my pic is 100% my own work. I drew it with colored pencil. I was looking at a picture of a black horse at the time to give me an idea of what kind of run I would give my unicorn. ^_^"

Really nice! beautiful sky, but I don't like the brown (what I would think is) photoshop grass, because it kind of ruins the realism of the picture. At least for me...

:-) Alyssia Landin replies: "Thank you for commenting! You are right about the fake grass, It does kinda ruin the pic. Do u have any suggestions? Thanks, Alyssia Landin"

My bottom jaw rests upon the floor. I really don't think anything (including the grass) takes away from this work's beauty. The grass doesn't seem fake, but dreamy... It all seems dreamy. Beautiful. And the sky is gorgeous! I'd like to take a nap there... It seems so peaceful. Color choice was magnificent. I want more.

:-) Alyssia Landin replies: "Ur a great commenter. Thank you so much for looking deep inside this piece. This is one of my favorites. It was one that took me a while. But someone thought the unicorn was copied. My art is 100% mine and I wouldn't use someone elses work. I colored the unicorn from colored pencils and created the sky with blends of colors in photoshop. I also showed off some photography skill in this piece as well. And this piece was supposed to be dreamy, and Im glad you see it that way. ^_^ Thanx (Alyssia)"

That's a great pic! It's very realistic for a start, but the composition and colour balance is handled REALLY effectively here. This image works nicely from an abstract perspective as well as a purley illustrative one.
Nicely done.

I think this picture is amazing. I love the passion and creativity that you have put into this piece. I love the way it all flows together. I have printed the picture out and it is hanging in my cube at work. I love the colors that you have selected for the grass and the sky. It is so nice to see your finished products, keep up the good work! Remember, don't fall behind in your school work either. Love Mom.

62 Alyssia Landin replies: "LoL thank you mom! I did this piece a long time ago. Thank you for commenting on my art! Love you!"
