Artist's Comments

So I got to meet Heather Alexander (and the rest of her band, Uffington Horse) in person at the Las Vegas Ren Faire. And she sang this really cool song, and I was really inspired to draw something! And I drew her a picture of the Black Unicorn (star of her song by the same name that inspired me). And I gave it to her, so I don't have a scan of it (sorry *bows). But when I went home with her album and actually *listened* to the song, I noticed that I hadn't gotten the description quite right-- he didn't have 'leather and wings' or 'hooves that burned through the ground' like he was supposed to. So.

I'm fixing it :}

The original looked *nothing* like this.. it was pretty much a badass looking unicorn head with an itty bitty unicorn body next to it (much like my 'Escape!' piece).
This-- well, this is so much cooler it makes my head spin. Work in progress, because I've been asked to post work in progress pictures more often.
His legs are weird right now, and this I know. Working on that.

Oh, and notice he doesn't *actually* have a horn at this time. Working on that, too. X}

Wow, this WIP looks to be amazing when finished, the attention to detail and the colouring is fantastique, and I love the whole mood of the picture and the posture. Beautiful.

Omfg, I so LOVE the hooves. Agh! I mean it's creepy in a way! The blurry misty shiney-ness, and the way they look like they're just about to come down hard on some unsuspecting mofo. This is awesome, I can't wait to see it finished!

Whoa, amazing how it goes from that simple liney sketch to what you've got going in the head and forelegs! @.@ I admire your talent....
:iconktathinekoburd:
Yeah, I wish I'd kept the original layer the first liney sketch was put on-- because it was pretty cool all in itself! But I think I deleted it.

OMG! This is amazing! Can tell this is going to be a stunning picture when finished? You gonna make a print of it? Looking forward to the finished version! Do you use a wacom tablet for that?
