Mine was chosen? Oh my, I'm extremely honored. ; u ;



I've seen some people say on the Facebook post that I should have made it a wolf, though...
To those that have said that it should have been a wolf, wolves are an extremely overused creatures. My entire thoughts behind this were to take two awesome animals that you NEVER see people draw-- or very rarely. So I chose one of my favorite bird species, a Bearded Vulture, and a wild boar. My second premise to this was "when pigs fly", only a bit more ghastly than a dove-winged Wilbur. xD

Your art makes me weep with joy. ;-;
What I love best about yours (and why it's my favorite) is that it's so original and not-done-before, unlike dragons/wolves *and I'm guilty with my Dauthus*. I like yours the most, more than mine :')

FTTT, thank you so much. x'D < 3

I still think that yours is amazing as well, though. I really love the style it's done in and, no matter how many there may be, I'm a sucker for dragons. * u *
I especially love the veins on the wings, and the overall use of muscle upon the skeleton as well. :3

Oh, my, the newest is great!
Unicorns may be overall very generic for monsters and mythics and what have you, but I simply love Unicorns, so oh well! xD
It's also extremely well done. I love that it takes after a more traditional brand of corn, rather than modern styles.

Congrats to the artist!

People on facebook have been saying that the newest finalist (the unicorn) is a stolen image. Does anyone know if this is true?

Uh-oh, I just saw that too, but I don't know for sure...

Now that I look closer at it though, there are signs of inconsistency on the image,

The blue on it. It's not painted.
Take the image into your photoshop and use the burn tool on the purple section. You get the exact blue colour seen throughout the image.
Of course there's always the fact that they could just use burn as an artist, but then why would they go through the trouble of shading the purple? And why is the blue, especially on the mane, quite... stiff?
I don't see many painters use burn really, either.

. _ .

I really hope that it's not stolen, but I don't know...
My love of Unicorns is strong, so I certainly hope that it's not stolen. D:

... I... I use the dodge and burn tool too, hopefully not to a distasteful degree OTL

(and yes Nexodeus has some burn treatment as well XD)

Ah, really? xD
I've tried to use it, but I dislike the tones that come out of it. I think it's because I have more of a painter approach to things, rather than messing around with species tools and filters too much.
I've also grown to hate burn, since it can distort your colours a bit too much at times. : U

Oh, you only need to give it a delicate touch. And you need to use a very soft brush, that is the best way to use it. It's especially good for metallic surfaces, but yes you're right that sometimes it ruins the original colors. Sometimes burn works for me and other times I end up undo-ing it and painting everything manually. ^^

Hrmm, maybe I'll have to give them another chance, then. :3

For now, though, I really only use the luminosity filter layer to do "special effects" other than my initial colours and shading.

I hope that we can get a link to an original image for this unicorn soon. :T
Whether it's to clarify that it's stolen, or the artist clarifying that it is actually their work would be nice.
Ignoring my statement that burn isn't used too often-- I still find the parts that have been burned rather ruddy in spots.
The mane especially-- it looks like an original version may have intended for the mane to become very whispy and fade into the background like the back fur does, but the burn has made the splotched ends rather solid and strange looking.
