WHAT IS #JUNICORN???
For the month of June 2016 I created one of a kind unicorn drawings all month long! Its called #Junicorn, a monthly themed challenge to celebrate and engage with the online fantasy art community. Specifically, I explored and expanded the lore of Unicorns within my own IP, a magical world called "Terratoff"

“The Adolescent Royal”

"This drawing is the first Junicorn for 2016 , an adorable Adolescent “Royal” breed of Unicorn.
These unicorns are from my story (in development) "Terratoff".

Junicorn has officially begun! And here is the first of the month long celebration! An adolescent unicorn with roses. This unicorn is of the “Royal” breed, the most common and classically beautiful of the three known main breeds of Terratoff. (Royal, Dark, and Swift)

Unicorns in Terratoff have the physique of both horses and deer, a perfect
combination of beauty, grace, and strength. They are the purest of creatures and draw power from other pure and beautiful things. They are also known for their magical horns, flowing hair, and “neck crowns”.

Unicorns are also the only creatures of magic immune to “The Rott”, a horrific plague that literally “rots” the host from the inside out, twisting both body and soul. It is said, that the pure nature of the unicorn grants in this immunity."

My process includes several steps. First, the sketch is drawn softly with red and blue graphite to draft the idea. Then charcoal colored graphite is drawn on top to tighten and clean the drawing as well as add detail. The blue and red sketch remains intact and subtly visible beneath the charcoal color of the final drawing.
This process captures not just the final illustration, but also preserves the method and experience of creating it.
