Description
Don't ask about the title >.>Suggest a better one instead
So, again, my entry for bi-weekly contest.
I totally forgot about it, and then remembered just now, and the deadline is tomorrow, so I quickly whipped this up
Can anyone tell me what colour this thing is?
I had meant to give it gemsbok markings (because they are just awesome) but then I thought that trying out colours on a white unicorn would be much more interesting. I'm not sure as to whether my unicorn qualifies a 'white' anymore though >.>
The left hand side is bugging me quite a bit too. Any suggestions?
Also, I was kinda inspired by 's amazing picture here
And I dunno why DA is displaying it so small and not letting you do that 'zoom in' option D< Download for full view I guess.
Time: 56 minutes exactly XD

Cooool <3
I think the unicorns colouring is quite awesome (with the light and reflection it looks so shiny) though I think the upper part of the right foreleg is a bit long which makes it look kinda limp to me.
As for the left side, I agree with ~LadyElka that stronger colours might be the way to go. It's that you only fave the 'edges' of the flames/smoke/thing there orange light but not all of it so it's also messing with the right side: 'What is shining on the left side for it to glow around the edges? The rest of the light is blue!' or so xD
Eeeh, I'm so bad at explaining >>

So much drama! I'd say you were a queen of drama, but no one likes being called a drama queen, so I'll hold back.

The queen of drama? 
And thanks man. This piece was really fun

I almost failed drama because the teacher was weird, and I let him know that. XD But I sued to act in school and camp plays a lot.

Teachers can really be so biased. Aww, sad you quit. I know that the one main thing I actually miss about school is those school plays.

Well, drama club in hgh school really is only good at one thing, that being drama. Drama as in, "She's going out with my ex, and I've told her he's a &^%$!!!" "He stole my grilfriend!" "She's flirting with my boyfriend!" "My boyfriend cheated on me with a plush octopus in my dreams! Imma kill him!"

If he's cheating on you with a plush octopus, then you must be really nasty >___>
Loved that one XD
We never had a 'drama club' at our school. We had house plays and a school play. The teachers directed the school plays, and we did the house plays which was awesome. They were a competition between our schools houses. The drama teachers just elected a director, and then said director had to well, direct XD Of course, similar people were involved each year, like me, but it was never a fixed thing and we 'disbanded' each year.

Or maybe he is... XD
That sounds better than ours, actually. Ours is just such an in-group thing. >.>

True dat XD
In group things always suck. You can't get in, and then when you do, theres just so much DRAMA.

And thank you <3

I don't usually like bright colored unicorns, but this is pretty cool! The background is pretty darn awesome. I like his mane and tail, too.
As for the left side... I'm terrible at this sort of thing, but I think that maybe brightening up the flamey things, maybe adding stronger highlights, might make it look better.

Thanks El
Hmmm, looking back on it, I think that you might be right.
Thanks for that

Ouuh another entry huh? How did the last one go?
I love the colors in this and the burst of colors on its horn. And hey hey, MOAR orange and and blue! It's really beautiful, and rusty did really do an awesome job on the horsie!
So a gemsbok is a white horse?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, another entry, cause they're fun! (plus, so far the themes have been of the only two creatures I can actually draw).
I won the last one
Colour bursts are fun
Yes, MOAR of them. Apparently I can't use any other colours >.>
That she did.
Nonononononono. A gemsbok is a type of antelope (or bokkie XD, as you may work out from gemsBOK). You can see them in the background here [link]

Ohh I see. Cool!
Congratulations! What do you win?
Yes, yes they are. Especially since you can deal with them very well. Sure you can! You used blue and pink for that other dog >.>
:3
Oh antelope, that's right. Iiiii seeee

This colour trend is a more recent thing.

Only 56 minutes? You must be lying - there's no way that you can draw something this epic in just 56 minutes. I'm not usually a big fan of drawings of unicorns, but the way you used the colours simply floors me. And the way your drawings always look so soft and nicely blended. IT'S ALL JUST TOO PRETTY FOR WORDS. Teach me, oh great mistress.
...and about the birthmark on your right buttocks.
and about the inspiration from my horrible drawing.
You are, actually, Amadoodles disguised as The Great and Mighty AMADOODLES. Ha! I saw right through your follies! It's okay though, your secret is safe with me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fine. I lied. I did in in 55 minutes and 59 seconds.
Because orange and red and blue and purple are awesome 
I cannot teach you, but I can direct you to my teacher >>>> [link] Seriously, it totally changed the way I colour, and I didn't even read the whole thing. Actually, I only read about 1/3, then looked at about 1/2 the pictures, then got bored. But don't let that discourage you!
On my right buttocks? You mean, I have more than one right buttock? 
YOU CAUGHT ME! I am indeed The Great and Mighty AMADOODLES, rather than just Amadoodles as I had pretended.
Whatever gave me away ._.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
...are you sure? Wasn't it 55 minutes and 59.8 seconds?
That is indeed one of the most (if not the most) awesome combination of colours ever. I'm completely smitten with it. But you drew a few drawings with green and dark blue, and green and purple and white and...and...red... and other awesome colours.
Oooh, a linky-link! Thankies so much. <3 I'll definitely take a look.
Haha, you don't have to worry about that discouraging me - I would probably do the same thing anyway. I have so much going on that I get distracted easily.
You do indeed. Because if you stand in front of a mirror, you'll have one right buttock irl, and one right buttock in the mirror. But, because it isn't technically the same buttock, you'll have two right buttocks. And two left buttocks.
Aye, I guess I am a strange one like that.
HA! I knew it. But don't worry, I shan't tell anyone else who you really are. *makes zip motion across mouth* Your secret is safe with me.
It was your awesometastic skillz that gave you away...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
.... okay. It was actually 55 mins and 59.8965377656643647988674543435676756545 seconds. Happy now?
I know. I love it. And it's so much fun to paint with! you seemed to run out of colours there >.>
I get distracted and get bored reading things (actual novels are a major exception to that rule).
._.
I never though of it like that. So if you stand between two mirrors, could you have an infinite number of right buttocks?
Good >.>
Else I'll reveal YOUR identity
