This is an old campaigner and he shows a little wear around the edges!  Painted in oil paint on gessoed birch plywood, this art trading card, or ACEO, measures only 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 1/32 inches!

It makes me want to cry! The unicorn looks so, not really sad but sort of regretful.

I really like your interpretation of the unicorn. 2 It's very beautiful and realistic, something you could actually imagine...

Ahhh, that is so beautiful and lifelike... *sighs* I can almost feel the warm breath flowing out of his nostrils. Great work on the nostrils by the way! I've been trying to imagine cat-like noses on some of my own equines and now, after seeing this piece, I've finally figured out how to draw the darn things! Thank you!

Wow. I must say this is truly breath-taking! His snout (nose/mouth) reminds me more of a rabbit then a feline however. Very creative. =D

very well done though, I must say!

Luckily, the severing the alicorn from the unicorn did not lead to his death, as it did in Legend.

wonderful, heart-wrenching idea and image! The eye is especially beautiful holding so much wisdom and memory, i wonder at the things it must have seen?
