This is my version of a sea unicorn. The body was based on pipefish (relatives of the seahorse). I was aiming for something that looked more like a real sea-creature, and less like a horse with a fish tail attached. [2004 - Ink, Pencils]

I'm very impressed by this picture, especially the background. It gets pretty annoying with how many people won't draw pictures with backgrounds. I like the contrasting orange/blue combination. The creature looks rather awkward, I must say. Very crooked and not very elegant (shape-wise). That's really the only thing that I can criticize about this picture. Very nicely done!

WOW! This is soooo lovely and a really unique and interesting interpretation of a Sea Unicorn. You chose some vibrant colors and your composition is great. Great pic!

Cool.

I think this pic is absolutely gorgeous in every way. The concept is brilliant, the colors are beautiful and the composition is exceptional. I believe this pic is my favorite (not counting the snail wizard, of course).

You have every right to be as proud as peaches about this one.
