Please feel free to ask questions, in fact, I encourage that you ask questions if you aren't sure about something.
you must draw these OC's to enter for my prizes.
a collage art would be fine. or a group art of my Oc's
just pay attention to who is who, and in your way convey the character to the best of your ability.
Im looking for any kinds of art style- surreal, impressionism, comic book etc.- no stick figures.

In Search of Unicorns
:Enid:
Enid is the female main protagonist, and the only one I chose to further develop at this time.
Enid's Appearance:
Enid is dark skinned, Indian looking with freckles from sun exposure.
She has a wild appearance and always appears unkempt.
Enid has pale mint green eyes with specs of brown and gold in them surrounded by long dark eyelashes.
Enid has raven black hair it falls just above where her neck meets her shoulder line, she has a few tiny braids as well.
Build/age/clothing:
Enid is about 5'4 in height she is petite with small breasts and shes not too curvy.
She is 15 years of age
she wears desert clothes with long pants and sleeves
her clothes are thin and loose but not baggy
they are dull in color
a scarf/hood around her neck for dusty hot days to pull up for shade- very decorated scarf with arabic star motifs
she has a silver stud nose ring and many small earrings on her ears
she wears different choker necklaces
each decorated with beads or small trinkets, main one has a round 'star' and a silver connector; holding it into place are 4-6 leather straps on each side.
one of the necklaces holds an ancient coin from her grandfather.
She 'borrows' a sword from one of the local traders.
Her personality can be described as sweet - happy-go-lucky, she's very positive and laughs as often as she can- she is seen smiling to herself. She's kind of a daydreamer- but is responsible.

Shuruq Shams (شروق شمس) - The Unicorn:
White, pure white almost blinding
it has long wide ears like a deer or a goat
it's horn is about four feet in length, very sharp bone smooth and sits almost completely between the ears
dark eyes with long pale eyelashes with a goat like muzzle, sharp angled close set nostrils.
its smaller than a regular horse but has long nimble legs and a slender body
cloven "split" white hooves
a long lion tail
it does not have a long flowing horse like mane, almost no mane at all.
From a distance its coat shines when touched by sunlight, reflecting like a mirror.
Shuruq Shams is a forgotten beast of an ancient world- its name in the local language translates to 'Sunrise' according to myth it only appears during dawn.
It sometimes appears in two human forms: A genderless child wearing white and holding a mirror locket made of gold, it is shaped like a sun. it also appears as a young woman wrapped in simple clothes, with no visible hair and a positive expression on her face. She also has a gold 'sun locket' with a mirror in the middle, she wears it as a necklace that falls just below her belly button. As these forms Shuruq Shams will not come close enough to touch- and only appears as an illusion or mirage.

**This is not your modern day hipster rainbow farting unicorn, so please do not draw a horse with a horn**

Mahjub Set:
Mahjub was once a young man, and the servant of a great godlike king during a time when the desert was an oasis.
After Mahjub grew envious of the king - he was banished to the farthest reaches of the world.
Mythology tells that he roams the desert in search of life to destroy and trick travelers and kill them.
Appearance:
His physical description is hard to put into words so ill keep it as simple as I know how!
He stands six feet tall, he appears emaciated but with muscle tone.
Mahjub has kept his humanistic qualities, He has been corrupted, twisted and is a living representation of the wicked nature of humankind.
Think of the smaller dark skinned orcs in The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
His skin is very smooth and charcoal/charred colored and wrinkles any time he moves- his eyes are large and bloodshot, his iris's are deep ruby red.
He has shark like teeth and a long sharp tongue, if he were to stick it out you would see a black coloring towards the back of the tongue.
Mahjub wears an old rusted crown from the ancient times, with curved 'wings' in the side, its embellished.
crown examples - crown1
crown2 now, about the crowns, you dont have to make it look just like those- that is just for a general idea of the shape and size.
Mahjub wears a collar necklace with shoulder pad extensions- they are very ornate and probably gorgeous at some point but have become dilapidated.
he wears long dirty pants that have worn down and become frayed and thin.
His nose is wide and flat- the septum is downward towards his mouth - giving him the look of a cat. He has a decorative loop nose ring and large crested earrings that caused his earlobes to droop. gauge earrings.
he has long fingers, fingernails and toes with bells on his feet and ankles.
when he walks he twists and turns his arms and appears to be dancing.
He carries an ebony sword on his side, he kills any travelers. - his sword is scimitar like.
Enid has only heard small spooky stories of Mahjub when she was small.

Setting
Desert and canyons as the regional setting and the time setting is sort of Babylon/Mesopotamia- nomadic - but not too primitive.
Enid is from and lives in a desert region. Enid has never been to a major town or settlement, for they are weeks away.
There are ruins among the dunes- and large corroded statues and ancient cities.
Enid and her family and people are much like gypsies they are a mix of many races and cultures, and tend to move around.
Her village is full of people who sky map - they find their way in the dark through the placement of the stars- for the past 3 months a drought has plagued the village and most of the water and resources have disappeared and what water remains is tainted and causes illness to her family and eventually death.
