Tag As FavoriteComment		Well, here's my first try at Computer coloring a picture. Geez, I REALLY need a Wacom tablet! I used Photopshop 5.5, mostly airbrush, dodge and burn tools. I know its pretty boring...er, simplistic, but I think this picture would look odd with a lot of color. I'd appreciate your suggestions so my next try will be more exciting! Please??

It's a good picture..

If you were looking to redo it, I would say make the front two legs more bended (like the back ones). Also the back is too straight of a line compared to the curve of the back legs and hindquarters.

I like it. (That being the most illuminating comment in the history of the known world, no?) It looks very nearly heraldic, the curve of the tail is just neat, and I at least think the straight back is pretty nifty. I think that the problem might not be that the forelegs are locked, but that it position in which they are locked looks fairly untenable. If you moved them both a little more foreward, they might do a little better - the farthest one a little further foreward on the chest, the near leg swivelled more foreward, with more evidence of a knee.

I luv this guy. I love how he's more like one of the old dinosaur-type horses. Y'know- like those tiny little pre-horse creatures. I would imagine this guy as being about the size of a small deer. And if he was alive today, I would recon he'd be closer in relation to deer than to horses (kind of like how Panda's are closer to Raccoons than Bears).

I also like that he looks a bit like the unicorns on the Queen's (of England) shield. Only those ones are rearing up- but similar legs, tail, etc.

Coolness!

More exciting? How could this get more exciting? It's perfect the way it is.

I think this is great for using a mouse! I LOVE THE TAIL!

Art Nouvar lookin' *sp? yaaaaah* This would be perfect for a stained glass window! Eather as part of a larger picture or with just any old back ground. Just the way the dark, yet delicat lines trace every thing, and the very faint shading on details... nice. *grins*

I would try adding a background...very good though.

pretty cool...just, it looks a bit tipsy, like its about to trip and fall on it’s face... 22

It really is a good picture, even though it looks like the unicorn is out of balance. Furthermore, the eye looks pretty scary. Nice work, though.
