Museum of childhood toy horse.

Stayed up til two messing around with a mini horse toy from V&A Museum of Childhood. Way to tired too make it look good. Eventually admitted defeat, stuck it in the 'think about later' folder and walked away. Think it needs more horses or an actual composition would be helpful too... 

Bad Ass Unicorn

The Bad Ass Unicorn came about as I needed an image for the Print Workshops induction day in August before I could join as a member. My brother and his girlfriend had just moved flats and his girlfriend loves unicorns but only if they're suitably Bad Ass. Thus the Bad Ass Unicorn house warming print was born.    

Only fail along the way was choosing a super stubby workhorse for reference. Italian Stallion he was not. Didn't realise until he was scanned in and lined up that he was suffering from severe tankles. Easily solved with a touch of photoshop to elongate the legs - took me right back to my days attempting to photo assist on fashion shoots (not an advisable career choice if you've never tried to use a camera off automatic before.)

Original Line Drawing - with flat footed hooves - fixed these later.
