There was a unicorn with stripes on it, I saw it in the windstone facebook page “ebay things from the past”- the caption says he was painted like a Quagga, by Helen Ross Miskin? I like the stripes on that one, with the brown and white. A black and white striped one could be nice too, but I think the mixture, like with the okapis or the quagga one, are better. But I’d love to see either one
Helen painted the quaggas… I don’t want to step on her toes by painting those, too! I will try zebras.

May 8, 2011 at 4:57 am #844786I would love to see a zebra unicorn done by you, Jennifer. I would definitely bid on it
The one other idea that springs to mind is a Clydesdale unicorn. I have a PYO a forum painted for me and it is great.
May 8, 2011 at 2:11 pm #844792I will start on them this week!

May 14, 2011 at 1:10 am #845266I have a male unicorn done! I don’t have eyes or a horn to fit him though. Do you guys want creepy eye-less and horn-less photos or would you rather wait for the auction photos?

My art: featherdust.comMay 14, 2011 at 1:12 am #845267I’m fine with a creepy eyeless, hornless photo. I can photoshop them in if I really wanted to! I’m just itching to see how you painted him. Pics please!

Okay! I will get some tomorrow in the daylight if I can. Zebra stripes are very hard to translate onto a flowing mane!

I apologize. It’s been miserable here for three days… non stop pouring rain. I take my photos outside because my inside lighting is pretty bad. I hope we don’t flood again…!

Its okay. I just really want to see him! The wait is kinda exciting because I know someone actually painted it.
May 15, 2011 at 5:19 pm #845380I went out with an umbrella onto my deck! These are pretty crummy snapshots, I was cold and wet so the focus leaves a lot to be desired.
Sorry if his eyeless-ness and hornless-ness is creepy!!
He is painted to look like a Burchell’s Zebra. The stripes are hard to translate without looking goofy. His necklace has a large natural peridot in it and two CZ accents.Zebras don’t have manes like this so I tried my best to make it look zebra-ish while still making it look natural. If that makes any sense!

My art: featherdust.comMay 15, 2011 at 5:24 pm #845381Wow, I like it a lot! I don’t usually really like the zebra/tiger/leopard stuff but this guy is beautiful, especially the rump area. I think the mane looks lovely too! It brings the pattern back to fantasy

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!May 15, 2011 at 5:52 pm #845386He is GORGEOUS Jen. I’ll be waiting for when he goes to Ebay. You got the lighter brown stripes with the black stripes to blend perfectly.
May 15, 2011 at 6:55 pm #845389He is awesome! I like how you did his mane – it looks great. And I don’t think he looks creepy at all. Thanks for posting the pictures.
