Actually the head on this uni is proportional to the rest of his anatomy. The head is approximately the same length as the neck. Your Blue Unicorn is lovely. I especially like the optical illusion that it has: he may be lying on the roses, but he may be rearing up. Either way looks wonderful!

1 replies: "Thankyou all for your comments on this one! The roses are just intended as a backdrop motif (as opposed to a blank backing)to the rearing unicorn and he's not really among the flowers per se. Hope that clarifies it a bit. "

Very nice! I really like the unicorn, apart from the pink around the eye and nose (I don't think that's nice, dark nose is better!). I'm unsure as to wether the uni is lying down or "standing" though. If it's supposed to be lying down (as I first though) it seems to be floating an inch above the roses rather then lying amongst them. But apart from that it's really great and you're clearly really good at paniting horses! Very nice colour too! 2

Apart from the theme of the background (I don't like roses) this is a marvelous painting. Excellent shading. The head might be a bit too large, but I do not know much about fourlegged anatomy. Great colourscheme.

I love how you did the fur on this fellow, and how shaggy he is! The background makes it feel like a tapestry figure. Nice work!
