SciFi and Fantasy Art Unicorn of the Desert by Liz Carlson

Look twice. I based this picture around one theory that the unicorn may have originated from travellers spotting antelopes (specifically oryx) at a distance, so that two horns looked as one. Also, I just wanted to do a not-quite-traditional unicorn. I do actually just the 'horse with a horn on its head' style, but since I love gemsboks so hard, I wanted to try it with their body type. End result is an extremely fugly, but rather unique uni.

21 Jan 2007	Guardian of Purgatory666	Loading... Did you know tht another theory of the unicorn also came from a group of men who gound a narwhale horn on a beach and horse tracks leading away, they had thought the horn had fallen of the horse, how the came to tht conclusion i don't know but human kind has always been how you put it....Slow. Oh and some more trivia te centuar myth came from the first man seen riding a horse anyway its a brilliant pic just like the rest in your gallery.
