Steampunk Unicorn ACEO Drawing

The unicorn stood guard outside the tavern, unmoving in the golden light cast from the gas lamps towering overhead. Any minute the thief could come darting out of the brass door, pursued by his bounty huntress. The poor soul would be sorry he hadn't agreed to come quietly when he saw the sharp horn waiting for him.

Steampunk Unicorn

This is what galloped out of my head for the Fantasy Artists of Etsy's horse-themed art challenge for July. Unicorn ACEO inked with black Sakura Pigma Micron Pens and colored with Prismacolor pencils onto Strathmore Smooth Bristol Paper.

Canter over to Sunday Sketches to see more art by creative souls.
