there we go, my lost unicorn baby has a name, I love her so much but my ability to draw bulkier members of the equus and extended equidae family continues to disappoint me, I was never, and will never be, a horse girl. I prefer deer and goats over horses and I even think donkeys are way cuter, I do admire horses tho.
if it isnt obvious by my equus rant, this is not a horse base unicorn but rather one with a greek origin*, therefor having a donkey based shape and size, though I did disregard the horn details described in greek natural history*.
*Unicorns are not found in Greek mythology, but rather in the accounts of natural history, for Greek writers of natural history were convinced of the reality of unicorns, which they believed lived in India, a distant and fabulous realm for them. The earliest description is from Ctesias, who in his book Indika ("On India") described them as wild asses, fleet of foot, having a horn a cubit and a half (700 mm, 28 inches) in length, and colored white, red and black.

EDIT: sorry for nerding out, I realize that I take my mythology very seriously ^^"
