SciFi and Fantasy Art Unicorn 02 - Stormdancer by Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf

The cool, moist breeze rippled through the dusky stallion's mane as he sprang to the top of the ridge. Nostrils flaring, he scented the promise of rain in the roiling dark clouds that filled the eastern sky. In another time, such clouds might have seemed ominous. But the drought had persisted so long, and the herd desperately needed this storm...

Stormdancer is #2 in my "Scions of Legend" series. He stands about 8 inches (20.3 cm) tall from horn tip to cloven toe. Polymer clay, acrylic paint, and viscose hair.

2 Sep 2006	Anonymous	Loading... I LOVE this one, he seems like a real horse; please make more unicorns; you are good to do them Of this one, i love specially the colour and the mane Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you! I will definitely be making more unicorns! "
30 Sep 2006	Fylo wolf	Loading... I think this one is fantastic because of his markings and the gorgeous calm expression. Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you! It's fun to do unusual markings. "
21 Mar 2007	Estmech	Loading... I love the pattern of this unicorn's coat, it looks slightly coarse...enough to make the viewer belive that he'd feel the coat and a warm body, instead of a smooth clay sculpture ~ Esther Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you, Esther; that's exactly what I was going for! "
5 Jan 2008	Stephanie S. K. Marbach	Loading... Oh sorry, i thought he was kind of brownish on the other pic! I really like the background you put him in to, specially that long, twisted branch there. It’s so cool when artists do such a set of scene, it looks so much better and more real and vivid than if you just put your sculpture on your table or such... i really like his beard, it gives him something, hm, kingly...! Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "(Wow, you’ve commented a lot; thank you!!) I’ve been putting beards on more and more of my creatures lately. Hmmm, maybe it’s because I’m influenced by my husband’s goatee! "
2 Jan 2009	Sherri L. White	Loading... Well done !!! Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you Sherri! "
5 Jan 2009	Caboose Wolfe	Loading... Awww, I like this one! Just one thing to point out--though it’s still amazing-- the head and neck are a bit too big. I can’t think of any way you could fix that, though, now that the clay’s hard, so just ignore me I love the black horn, and the position! He’s so sweet! Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thanks! Yeah, I agree about the head and neck. Although, I think the angle of this photo makes them look even bigger than they are. I want my next unicorn to be a bit more delicate and deer-like, I think. "
5 Jan 2009	Mary Ann Zachar	Loading... I think the heads fine, most horse sculptures on elfwood have the head way too big but this one is very well proportioned, it looks real. I like the detail, roans have got to be hard to paint. Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you! I paint in several layers, and with the stippling technique I use, roans sort of come naturally! I have to think harder if I want to paint a different sort of coloring.... "
6 Jan 2009	Kayla M Acosta	Loading... I love the coloer on it. Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you! Roans are fun. "
