Paint Mare

Description

I have always loved unicorns, though the ones in my headspace tend to be a bit wilder, and a bit more colorful than pastel-and-white creatures one more commonly sees. I adore Meredeth Ann Pierce's 'Birth of the Firebringer', and though I didn't draw one of her characters here (the mare is my own yoo-nee-korn), I definitely love Pierce's vision of unicorns. No rainbows, hearts, or magic here -- just miles and miles of un-gentle moor...

Anyway, this was another attempt at drawing completely in Painter. I know it's just so easy for other people, but it's taking me a while to get better at it. :) Not a very busy background, either, but that just means I need to practice more. :) The anatomy isn't perfect, but it's a good bit closer than I thought I'd achieve, so I'm happy with it. Besides, how can you not like a unicorn with attitude? ;)

And I'll stop blathering now...

I actually like the heavy line use and zero inked backgrounds. It really reminds me of the art in Okami. Which is pretty.

I think it looks good. I like the back view and the style.
