SciFi and Fantasy Art Buckskin Alicorn by Erin M. Schmidt

A quick Elfwood search reveals that on every picture identified as an 'alicorn', at least seven people have left a comment to this effect: 'Nice pic, but the name is wrong. An alicorn is the horn of a unicorn.' So to hopefully forestall that sort of thing, let me point out that the name of the alicorn pictured here is from 'aille' or 'ali' (wing) and '-corn' (horn). See? Wing-horn, a flying unicorn. I can understand how it could go both ways, of course, with a derivation of 'licorne' or even 'a li corne', but as far as I'm concerned, in this particular case, an alicorn is a unicorn with wings. Anyone who feels the urge to comment with ''scuse please 'alicorn' is a unicorn horn this is clearly a unisus/pegacorn/griffin/cerapter' can save himself or herself the trouble.

9 Aug 2007	Sammy	Loading... I LOVE THIS PICTURE. I do a lot of role playing & it was a perfect idea to help make one of my characters. Thankz so much. Can I use the picture for my charra, that would be awesome. Let me no when you add more pictures like this to your web-site. Unis, pegasus, dragons, vampires (if u make them) stuff like that. Maybe some sort of feline.

26 Jan 2008	The_puppy	Loading... I like it, and the way you decided to break down the name and show its roots for those of us that are complete idiots, namely: almost all the human race.
19 Feb 2008	HeartfeltSorrow	Loading... It reminds me of my old mare. She was a buckskin and could jump amazingly, when i was younger I imagend she was a unicorn. I miss her so much
12 Mar 2008	Courtney Sandnas	Loading... Tis is very GOOD! I really love the colors and the wings! Very Great work!
8 Jun 2008	Dr who and hippogriffs	Loading... You’re absolutely right!!!! The alicorn is lovely- buckskin is, somehow, a difficult colour to get right.
13 Jun 2008	Katie Verdigris Smoke	Loading... Well done! This pic has wonderful movement to it and the muscle anatomy is awesome. it looks soooooo real . LOVE it! ^-^
5 Feb 2009	Lozzy	Loading... Awesome - you’ve got the goat beard and cloven hooves - barely anybody seems to put those in anymore! Amazing colouring on this one - the transition from body to wings worked really well
18 Feb 2009	Ninja	Loading... ALICORN- the horn of the unicorn
