Finished commission for White Nile

Super huge full size (click for tons of details): https://i1.lensdump.com/i/IZNbZ2.png

Huge effort, many hours :) I present this unicorn chilling in a rainbow lake in a cave. Some fun facts: I wanted to give the unicorn's coat a slight rock-like texture and have the hair look quite watery. This piece was an absolute joy as I love colors, especially pulling multiple colors from one surface

Finished piece: Fortuna

37+ hours :D And it's finally done!

Meet Fortuna, goddess of fortune and that no-good RF that strikes us on rollover :D Here she is with her wheel of fortune (well, a different wheel) and her cornucopia (aka horn of plenty), puttering across the land on a fancy chaise longue fashioned somewhat after ancient Roman chairs (I think), raining down wealth and a bountiful harvest, but not for everyone! See if you can spot the cherries :)

There was a ton of repainting done. For instance, I gave up on wrestling with the forelegs stock and painted part of it myself, hence the wonky anatomy. And painted the clouds, parts of the chair, some of the background, etc.

This forum post contains all my art on HEE, as well as process gifs and WIPs! Critiques welcome & appreciated~! (Note: Some images will be clickable for the full-size)

A little about my process: I love working backgrounds from multiple sources; gives it that ethereal, out-of-this-world quality (I guess!)

Thank you so much! I use Krita for making manips and painting, Sketch (the Mac-only UI design program, that is) for applying text, plus an ancient Wacom bamboo tablet (which is just barely supported on my laptop to be honest).
