Description I drew a unicorn last year and colored it this year.

*hands fall off*

I don't know how long this took, but it took waaay too long.I don't like the fur texture..but oh well. o.O

References were used for the sky, but those were my own stock I take because I generally suck at clouds. x_X

No references for horsie parts, but I pretty much know what's wrong.

I usually draw myself as a red haired unicorn when I don't feel like drawing Ratrina. You've probably seen her already.

edited: Tried to fix the lighting and failed. Oh well. Moving on..

Thank you mythy! It was one of the only ways I could think of to make her look like she was actually -in- the clouds, and not just randomly floating in them, lol. <3

Nyxen [2007-09-06 15:05:31 +0000 UTC]

She's lovely. And the so's the sky. I simply love the color of her mane and tail, and the look of her tail. And I like the pink undertones in over her entire body.

It is lovely seeing your art again.

Very nice texture.I love the fuzzyness The muzzle looks so realistic! Any helpful tips for the beginner on making a muzzle look realistic?

Ratrinadragon In reply to kusuri [2007-09-06 22:32:00 +0000 UTC]

I'd suggest picking up a few drawing horses books, animal anatomy for artists books, or just plain out taking references pictures of horses and studying the way the face and body looks. That's what helps me out.

Amazing! I love the fur texture, and the rest of the body is so flowy and majestic!!! Great job on BG, and the clouds are better than you think! Wonderful job on this on anatomy!
So glad to see your art again!

WrathOfNessis [2007-09-06 09:52:55 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow...She is absolutely beautiful! Her mane and tail looks as if it's made of fire. I also like how you didn't do the traditional deer-skinny unicorn, too. ^_^

And it's great to see you post art again!

Thanks Nessis! Sorry it took so damn long, lol. I saw your horse Dusty in your gallery. I'm jealous. He looks cuddly.

I like traditional unicorns.xD You might see a few in my gallery in the future.^_^

Hey, as long as you're back...it's all good.

And thank you! He's starting to look a lot better now that he's filling out. The only thing that's driving me batshit crazy is the bald spot he managed to get ripped out...in the centre of his mane, no less. The turd. He's a big ol' goober, and I love him to death.

I don't mind the traditional unicorns at all...but it's nice to see a variety.

Pretty! I love you for giving her a "real" Unicorn tail, instead of a horse tail. <3

You may not like the fur texture, but I do. I think it looks nice.

Ratrinadragon In reply to Myuu [2007-09-06 07:52:59 +0000 UTC]

I like to mix and match how I draw unicorns, the ones with the unicorn tails are generally my favorites. I guess the textures alright. >.< I've been working on this all day, I guess I just rushed a bit so I feel it's not as good as it could be.

Anyways, thanks so much.
