Tag As FavoriteComment		Bucephalus, horse of Alexander the Great, is described in many storys and legends. I guess the one in which he's a giantic white unicorn with a peacock tail isn't the most historic accurate, but it's the one I liked best :)
Done in black ink and watercolour

If you have any ideas for other mythical horses I've not done yet please let me know!

Very nice! Very nice indeed! You're pretty good at horses I must say! *nod* I've never heard of this kind though, very interesting one! 2 You haven't done any hippogriffs... umm... yeah. That was the only horselike think I could think of that you hadn't done yet (as I saw). Very nice gallery! 2
