So, at first glance he's all cute and cuddly, your basic fantasical 'angel'... but look a little closer and you see, he's been a bad, bad boy.
This illo was originally created for the theme "Smitten" over at Illustration Friday. I wanted to approach the meaning from a slightly different angle - to smite, past tense: smitten. Traditionally the unicorn is smitten with the maiden, then out come the king's men and strike him down and take all his sugar frosted goodness... but in this case, he's taken them out before they could touch him. ;)

Nice horse character. I especially like the hills and the way you draw trees.
Thank you!. This is really stylized, even for me. The trees were a complete experiment - I've never done them this way before. But that's what IF and SFG are all about right - experimenting and challenging yourself.
