Guilt Unicornby ~Susiron

Digital Art / Drawings / Fantasy

Revamp of my Guilt Unicorns. I always intended for them to be closer to deer rather than horses, so it’s about time I drew them looking more cervine.
Unicorns of Lorn are hardy animals that can survive extremely cold climates with their thick coats and sturdy legs.
They are a creature surrounded by superstition. Possessing a call that sounds something like a mixture between high-pitched screaming and a wolf’s howl, they have earned respect as unlucky spirits. It’s said that being in the sheer presence of a Unicorn is unlucky— and that to kill one is to lose any chance of luck in life. Contradictory, it is also said to be very lucky to possess the hair or horn of a Unicorn, so long as the beast was never harmed by the holder’s hands. Those that are not superstitious have been known to hunt down Unicorns and sell parts of their bodies on the market for high quantities of silver and gold.
Perhaps not helping the distrustful air that they acquire, Unicorns are omnivorous, scavengers at times. They are also very territorial and have been known to pierce humans on the ends of their horns, protecting the woods that they inhabit from encroaching villages.

Colour-wise, they range from pale creams to solid blacks. Spots, stripes, and other such patterns are common on them, particularly in males.

"Guilt" and its creature specifics are mine.
