I got tired of mincing, delicate little unicorns prancing about fields of flowers. This guy's based on a Friesian body type, much more war-horseish.

Am loving this! Especially the "olde worlde" look. One thing though....his joints (fetlocks, for example) are a tad too circular - I'm guessing you used the anatomy method of lines and circles? And maybe his backside is a *little* round, but hey, he's your unicorn, he's a fantasy creature, he can be whatever shape he wants. *pats pretty pony* And he's going on my friesan tour...

It's legs are a bit bony. Have you been feeding it enough?

Anyway, this is beautiful. NIce detail and such!

KICK A...Um...butt! UNICORN!! Very pretty. Very cool! One question. No, wait, two. Okay, first, how come "Unicorn" is written backwards? And two, is that calligraphy? Oh, and bonus question, If #2 is yes, IN PENCIL??? Coolness, man. I give it A+!

Awwww! This is the most wonderful unicorn picture I think I've ever seen! What did you use? Wow. And don't listen to anyone who says he ( or she ) is disproportionate, because most actual horses are...except its called having bad conformation. My own horse faintly resembles a giraffe-more neck to hug!

OMG!! I love that picture! I wish I could draw that! I can draw horses and unicorns, but not that good.....I love both species...

WOw. I like it but maybe the back leg is...I dunno, just not EXACTLY preportionate, but it's stil real good.

Beautiful! I like the style you used to give it a medieval feel, and I also really like that thick unicorn beard. Nice work!
