Artist's Comments

This is my entry for the spring contest held by ~Unicorn-Club, which was baby unicorns. I wanted to do something that wasn't just about the cuteness of a baby horse, but something that felt emotional and sweet as well. So for a reference image, I used [link] taken by ~floCha of a dam and her foal. It doesn't come anywhere near the beauty of the photo, but I spent alot of time on this piece, and I'm incredibly proud and happy with it.

Ten plus hours in Painter X exclusively, with tablet.

Oh gosh this is beautiful, and I love the way you captured them. I love the light eyelashes too. The manes are so sooo beautiful. And I love their horns and the textures. The muscles and shading look amazing too and I love both their expression. You did a very good job.:blackrose:
