I was going for a bit of an Art Nouveau feel here. I had fun coloring this one, though I think if I had to color it again, I'd choose different colors. I'm happy with how this turned out, though of course in scanning it and compressing it for the file size limits some of the brightness was lost. And the sky is still too grainy. I know I could fix that in Photoshop if I really wanted to, but I spent so much time coloring it that it just irritates me that the scan killed it.

March 2002. Black ink and Prismacolor colored pencils on sketch paper.

Prints of this piece are available here.

I like the composition. The frame boarder really sets off the picture.

Definently fluffier than usual.
Good...

Wouldn't Art Nouveau requure bolder lines, and a slightly geometrical mosaic?

I love the picture and the background is fantastic! I especially like the scales that you add on your unicorns, it makes them seem half dragon! The feathers on the hooves seem a little off, but the picture really is lovely!

Thses colors are very beautifull, and I jsut love the dreamerish effect of this.
Did I already say I love the colors? The manes are also very pretty, with that curl.

This is really great. I love the concept and the coloring....except for the blue and the background. No offense, but it ruins the piece because it looks a little sloppy compared to the rest.
