Dire Unicorn
Dire Unicorn by @drakhenliche (Isabelle Davis)

Knightmare was, once, a true unicorn. Like others of his ancient and immortal kind he was a peaceful creature and a steward of mystical and sacred places. Until the Demon Queen Shine began her attack on his world. Along with dragons, she mutated and warped beings from other magical races - unicorns included - to her own ends, destroying everything that they were and creating cruel, twisted, warlike minions from the remains. In total, seven unicorns fell prey to her magics to become mounts, war-chargers, for her most prized warriors to ride as they led her demonic armies into battle. All were mutated in different, unique ways. In Knightmare's case he ended up a sublime hybrid between unicorn and dragon.

Knightmare is Blackjack's evil-tempered steed. This suits him perfectly as he loves the thrill of the hunt and running down their enemies.


computer colouring under pencil sketch. A wee bit dark, perhaps.

It's not too dark on my monitor, at least. Creepy creature here. I like the story behind it and the picture depicts the history of Knightmare well. I love the clouds in the background, those were painted very nicely and frame the subject really well. Its legs look a little short and the front seem a bit, how shall I say, human-shaped rather than horse-shaped, but otherwise it's really nice work.

SOO COOOL squeals insanely I love this guy! Especially how you drew and shaded his head. His pupiless red eyes are an awesome effect, VERY evil looking. And I absolutely love his sneer, and how you can see his canine fangs, heeee ^^ He looks like he means business... Especially with those draconic wings! You did an awesome job on those too by the way, and I really like his spiraly horn. Spiraly horns rock. This rocks! The clouds are even great! pets pretty clouds...
