[EDIT]
Replaced the file with critiques implemented.
sorry for re-uploading on you guys <_< Here's hoping it can make its way into Spectrum! The pre-critique version (along with more in progress shots) can be found on my blog.

This design is available at Society6! [link]

Haaaaaahhhh, it's finally done!

So, for the question: are there unicorns on Dumaria?

Yes, yes there are.

'cept they're be called Unikahn. Now y'all know where the 'kahn' suffix came from: from my middle school self's desire to be so original that I made up a world where the only difference between normal unicorns and Dumarian unikahn was the spelling. They've changed a bit since then :)

As a side note: the males are white, the females are black. I also imagined the females acting somewhat like ninja-amazons, hence, the muntjak style fangs. [EDIT] ~Nafah's suggestion vaulted the female's coloring from black to somewhat iridescent black (like a magpie or raven), so thanks for the suggestion to add more color to her shading ;)

Easily more than 100 hours put in on this one, since it started out as a work doodle I never intended on finishing. Planning, folks, makes things go much smoother. Lack of the aforementioned is responsible for at least half of those hours.

Enjoy!

The style is lovely, and i really like the lighting and sense of motion in this piece.
Also, the concept of ninja-amazon unicorn mares is an excellent one.
