2009-02-13 [Zab]: Ill enter later tonight when it's open.. :) Tho I'm afraid I only hve a head shot..

2009-02-13 [Artsie_ladie]: Ooh, I look forward to seeing your art, [Zab]! :D

2009-02-13 [Zab]: :D I'm working on a full body unicorn instead..
hehe, it's practically a horse, afterall. My speciality! ;)

2009-02-13 [Artsie_ladie]: Ah, cooler yet! I know! Me wubs your horses. :D

2009-02-13 [Zab]: Naw thanks ^___^
*hew* shading is soon done..

2009-02-14 [Zab]: --crap.. I forgot the beard. EDIT - fixed. ^^

2009-02-14 [Artsie_ladie]: lol Nice! Beard, no beard, still nice! :D

2009-02-14 [Zab]: ^______^
I'm not completely pleased, but tis will do xD

2009-02-14 [Artsie_ladie]: Well, you've got lots of time if you want to play with it some more, like 3 and a half months. ;)

2009-02-14 [Zab]: heeh.. can't be bothered to work that much, you know:P

2009-02-14 [Artsie_ladie]: hehe Yah. What? Work? No, no! ;)

2009-02-14 [Nehirwen]: That's an awesome unicorn [Zab]! <3

2009-02-14 [Zab]: Thanks :)

2009-02-14 [Jitter]: Question: Older lore presents unicorns more similar to goats than horses, would such unicorns be allowed? Also, since the etymology of 'unicorn' literally means one horn, would this be open for all one horned creatures or typical unicorns only?

2009-02-14 [Artsie_ladie]: Good point, [Jitter]. :) This is open for both "modern, popular" and the "traditional" style unicorn. "Maybe", if we get enough entries of each style, we can pick the best image or two of each. There is also the ECM Unar Art, which is a curious mix of elf and unicorn. I'm open to hear about any other relatives of the unicorn and with some info about each to go with them. :D

2009-02-15 [Thistlewood]: It also depends on the culture as to what the unicorn looks like in their stories. I have read descriptions where the unicorn sounds more like a rhino than a horse.

2009-02-15 [Artsie_ladie]: Hi, there, [Thistlewood]! :D Yes, another good point. If anyone finds such information, please post the links to, on ECM Unicorn Text and don't forget to give yourself the credit and put "found by" with that you post. This project, after all, is to gather ALL we can about a creature, so Elftown can have the most informative creature pages on the entire internet!  Pssst... Now I know you must have some lovely art of a unicorn!

2009-02-16 [Jitter]: Oh Mangle this is so cute :O

2009-02-16 [JajaJulie]: Thanks [Jitter] :)

2009-02-21 [FamousPanda]: Omg [Kuruni] You need to calm it down lol. Really great entry again. ^-^

2009-02-21 [Kuruni]: ahahah well, i have been productive! it's been a long time since i really participated on anything in here, and since i might get a job soon i wont have time to do anything for a while.

2009-02-21 [Artsie_ladie]: Very cute, [JajaJulie]! :D I had to open it in Photoshop so I could lighten it to see it. It must be my monitor, because I couldn't see another entry on another contest either. Is there a way to adjust the lightness and darkness of a monitor screen?

[Kuruni], another great entry! Fabulous! :D

2009-02-21 [Jitter]: I fell in love with [Kuruni]'s stuff at the first sight, this is no exception ;)

2009-02-21 [FamousPanda]: [Artsie_ladie] You can change the brightness and contrast of your monitor, it should either be on the front of your monitor or in your settings.

2009-02-21 [Kuruni]: Thanks ^^

2009-02-22 [JajaJulie]: Thank you [Artsie_ladie] :D

2009-02-22 [Artsie_ladie]: Thank you, [FamousPanda]! I did and it's much better. So this is what the buttons are for on the front of my monitor. Dah, me! >..< :) You're welcome, [Kuruni] and [JajaJulie]. :)

2009-02-22 [FamousPanda]: lol You're welcome [Artsie_ladie].

2009-03-18 [Kahri]: Hey, I'm having some serious problems figuring out a background for mine. , Anyone have some ideas for me? It would be extremely appreciated.

2009-03-18 [Linderel]: A forest clearing and a pond, perhaps?

2009-03-18 [Kahri]: Oh, I like that, hmm, I'll give it a shot. Thanks a bunch!

2009-03-19 [Artsie_ladie]: Very nice, [Kahri]! You gave it a shot and it came out great! :D

2009-03-19 [Kahri]: Thanks!

2009-03-25 [Artsie_ladie]: Very cute, [FamousPanda]! :D

2009-03-25 [FamousPanda]: Thank you [Artsie_ladie] =D

2009-03-25 [Artsie_ladie]: You're welcome! :D

2009-04-19 [Crystal~Feronia]: Your all so talented! I haven't been on here in years I got a spam from someone on here in my email, I'm glad I came back on :) I'm terrible at backgrouns but I did my best to think one up lol

2009-04-19 [Amyclaw]: I read somewhere unicorns used to be depicted as black too... and that they weren't just the simbol of good, purity and all, but also of great disasters, sodomy and some others... that's why I did this one with stripes... Do tell me if I should take back my submission XD...

Btw, Nice work all! They're luvly!

2009-04-21 [Crystal~Feronia]: I think that's the wonderful thing about mythology, what is known about them is so vague and differs from place to place :) The 80's movie Legend really touched me so I guess mine is a symbol of my childhood ideas for these lovely creatures :)

2009-04-23 [Zab]: I changed my entry. :) I believe that's ok?
I found a can of skills allsuddenly and wanted to compete with my best image :)

2009-04-26 [*Blade*]: Ive entered this..although i might not keep it. Its acrylics on canvas and is just a start for my paint on canvas career lol Need to invest in a digital camera as scan takes off abit of the quality and depth =)

2009-04-27 [Crystal~Feronia]: I love that you can see the motion Zab :) Your entry is great too Blade, I envy people who can use acrylics, I have to do all colour work on the computer I'm terrible at it

2009-05-05 [tinky31909]: sorry did it wrong. ignore this.

2009-05-05 [Chimes]: Are you meaning this to be an entry?

2009-05-07 [tinky31909]: haha yeah, i figured it out though thanks.

2009-05-23 [Zab]: I expected so much more entries..

2009-05-24 [Crystal~Feronia]: Maybe some last minute entries? Still a week left

2009-06-15 [Sliverbane]: Everyone went with an equine Unicorn. Interesting...

2009-06-15 [Zab]: It's generally seen as equine tho. I tried to make the hinquarters more deer-like in mine but found it difficult to get harmony and balance in the picture if I had made it more gracile..

2009-06-16 [arthemis_]: Ehm... [Sliverbane]? If you look in the rules above in the description then it says horse :) An unicorn made of another animal would be considered a-typical and would probably not make it in this contest :) A-typical unicorns are great though, maybe we should have a contest with them!

2009-08-21 [Zab]: Congrats to the winner :)

2009-08-28 [Kuruni]: yay!! wohoooo!  thank you! ^^

2009-09-03 [Crystal~Feronia]: Congratulations, brilliant art ^-^
